QuoteDid you try disabling OpenCL like the linked post mentioned? It actually works with that on or off on my desktop, but it might have an impact on your system.
Do you get new content added to a lower track when dragging and dropping the FX directly onto the clip, like this?
QuoteThat seems like a bug to me. The good news is that the blending FX work as expected once you drag them over a timeline clip, so only the preview is affected.
Enabling/disabling OpenCL doesn't have any affect on my 2 systems, unlike this other issue where OpenCL is the cause.
Even on the timeline they're not working right for me. It's just an overlay, no movement or anything. Is there something wrong with my settings?
QuoteIf it was your video, with your CC, you would still have the CC file to add it.
This sofware is to be used only for personal videos, not illegaly downloaded movies.
That response didn't help me at all. Anyway I don't need any help, I figured it out
I have a video that has a subtitle track that you can hide but the file is really big over 7 gb. I rendered it again in PD and made the file size smaller but now the subtitle track is disabled. How do I make sure it stays put?
Works now Sweet. I got it to work I think I might have moved the location of the phd project folder so the program wasn't able to find it. Anyway I deleted it and the program made me a new one
Ok. If you had mentioned that in your OP, you would have saved both of us time and I would have focused on the 2nd part of my response.
If you don't have anything critical in your editing history (or wouldn't mind simply starting over), then locate and delete the .PHD file and PhotoDirector will create a new one when you lunch it.
If you don't want to lose your previous work, you'll need to find and restore an older .phd version.
QuoteNo problems here. You've been on the forums long enough to know the drill if any CL app doesn't even open: uninstall it using Windows' uninstaller and then reinstall it with the App Manager (assuming you're running the 365 version).
You can also search the PhD forum for threads with .phd to see how to recover/restore your most recent project database file
I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice and it didn't do anything. https://streamable.com/7pcr9 here is a video demonstrating what happens.
QuoteThis was the latest reply from them after i told them that Chroma key on black doesn't work:
Thank you for the prompt reply.
With reference to your query, the Chroma Key feature of PowerDirector, supports keying the black or white color into transparent, however it would take whole video area into the keying processing. It is the current feature's design and limitation of the Chroma Key feature.
We understood that the result might not be identical to the editing after you applied the color replacement tool on the video using ColorDirector previous versions.
As earlier mention, the ColorDirector new version 8 updates the algorithm of Color Replacement tool to enhance the color replacing smoothness, and the keyframe feature support for dynamic color replacing and changing effect.
That is why the replaced result change in the new version.
Our engineering team keeps enhancing the Color Replacement feature between ColorDirector versions, and this case has been escalated for the team as feature improvement reference.
Thank you for your feeback and report.

I don't like that they did that. It would be much quicker to just change the color in ColorDirector rather than using chroma key and PowerDirector and throwing a green background over the part you keyed out.
QuoteI have Color Director V8.0.2320 and I am having the exact same problem. The color replacement only works if my original color is NOT Black.
Still the same for me. The update didn't fix anything. I think CyberLink thinks that it's not a problem and it must be my system causing it to happen but it's not. Something is wrong with the software
That suggestion to use shadow files is to help PD handle high resolution clips on less-than top-notch hardware. If you have a reasonably new and powerful PC, you may not need shadow files at all, especially if you're working with HD clips and not 4K.
You can easily try working with shadow files disabled and see if your PC can preview your projects at a usable speed. You will likely need to set the preview resolution to HD, instead of Ultra HD or Full HD, though.
If it turns out that you do need to use shadow files, you can set the auto delete setting for temporary files to something shorter than the 30 days default setting, and/or manually delete them when you finish each project to free up SSD space.
Quote[quotePostId = 332950] Recentemente, notei que meu espaço SSD estava diminuindo do nada e realmente não sabia o porquê até encontrar uma pasta com vários arquivos de sombra que o PowerDirector salvou. Apaguei os arquivos e recuperei 200 gb de espaço. Agora, o programa diz para habilitá-los para uma edição mais suave, mas não quero que os arquivos sejam salvos, então o que devo fazer? [/ QuotePostId]
Adding to the optodata showed.
You can change the folder, Export Folders to another HD.
Keys together, Alt + C / File / Expot Folder / Bronse
Recently I have noticed that my SSD space was shrinking out of nowhere and didn't really know why until I found a folder with a bunch of shadow files that PowerDirector saved. I deleted the files and regained 200 gb of space. Now the program tells me to enable them for smoother editing but I don't want the files to save so what should I do?
QuoteI've used junctions for years, and they're great if you don't want to uninstall/reinstall any of the already installed packs. There's also an easy way when using the App Manager, but you would need to uninstall the existing packs first.
To do this, uninstall the packs you want to move using Windows' normal uninstaller. Then, open App Manager and click on the Settings (gear) icon, set the installation path to your desired location, and reinstall the packs.
