Hey Dafydd,
Long time since I have had a grizzle here LOL! Not trying to jump on a band wagon here but I am having the exact same problem. My problem started about 2 weeks ago when I was using magic movie wizard in the new 2519. Now it won't open any pds that I have made in the last 2 weeks without crashing blaming PDR.exe via Visual C++ runtime etc error message. I have tried a full uninstall, removed all traces of Cyberlink files, smart sound and photonow. Done searches to ensure all files gone. I have done your reg edit suggestions and used windows install clean up. I have re installed updated to 2519 and still it is crashing. I uninstalled again as above and regedit removed the whole cyberlink files and went back to the version I was using 2429a which was stable and this has started playing the same game. I'm using XP SP3 with automatic updates. I even right clicked on the PDR.exe to see if I can run in compatible mode with XP but there is not an option to do so. It is some what Frustrating. Do you have any other suggestions apart from above mentioned? Cheers

Hi Dafydd,
I was trying to down load the files in RobertJ's post step 2 and I am getting an error:
"The requested file could not be found. It probably was deleted. Click here to go back to the topic."
Can you redirect the link back to the file for me so I can down load it?
Cheers
David

Hi Dafydd - 
I just found out that when I shut down PD7 and restarted it after a windows update all my titles are now being read by PD7 and work as they did in PD6 - LOL 
So sorry to bother you with this - I didn't think to shut down and reboot after transfering the files across into the PD7 folder!!! DOH!!!!
Anyway, I learn't some new stuff so thanks very much again - I am enjoying the software and it is bringing joy to the household once more!!!
Kind regards
David

Hi Dafydd,
Your first reply was fine - the link you gave me was the one I was looking for from last year that helped me make my 1st water mark so thanks for posting that as my searches were not bringing it up!!
Interesting enough was that I had modified my PD6 files and had transfered them across into PD7 as you described and this did not work for me the first time. I then created a title in PD7 and went back and compared the .clt file and .xlt files of my PD7 and PD6 and tried to replicate the PD7 info into the PD6 file and changed them in note book without any luck. But I was doing this late so I may have goosed up  most likely! I will follow the post Robert wrote as I understand all that with no problems - very well written it is! 1 observation that I noted the same as Georg was that in the new PD7 titles I created, there is the .png file, .xml,.clt but with this is 25 files called Thumb.png which appear to represent the different stages of the watermark fading in and out. I never had these in PD6 titles and this might explain why my PD6 titles are not being read by PD7. Anyway it is all good fun!
The one thing I did want to clarify - am I able to use PD6 and PD7 on the one machine without it causing any conflicts / clashes with in each other provided I change the install folder name for PD6?
Thanks again for your help - greatly appreciated as always!
Kind regards
David

Hi Dafydd and Georg,
Thank you both so much for your help. Thanks Dafydd for the link as well.
I have resorted to making the title slides for PD7 again. After posting yesterday I had a go at just copying the PD6 files from :\My Documents\CyberLink\PowerDirector\6.0\MyTitles into \My Documents\CyberLink\PowerDirector\7.0\MyTitles. Thought I could get away with this but PD7 references the files in a different manner it seems. I opened my .clt and .xml files with note pad from PD6 and compared them to a title I customed in PD7 and they were some what different. Any way I have been mucking around and have found the .png file performs the same in PD7 as in PD6 so I just have to redo the title slide in PD7. I guess I was being lazy hoping that the title slides would drop into PD7 from PD6 words and all! Out of curiosity is it possible to run PD6 and PD7 on the same machine without conflicts? My PD6 was removed on install.
Cheers and thanks
David

Hi Georg,
Thanks for that reply. I'm assuming you were refering to the use of colour boards.
I have been able to pull in the .png files into my library areas and can place it in PIP tracks etc. However, this results in the loss of my animation etc of the title slide I have designed.
I guess my question is more how can I import my old title slides into the title room from the PD6 folder? Is it possible to do this or should I cut my losses and rebuild them again? Any tips on this would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
David

Hi Dafydd and Co,
Back after a bit of a break away. Got a bit adventurous and started playing with PD7 - nice! Looks like it is keeping you guys busy!!
So, Any tips on how to import my old title slides from PD6 into PD7? When i try to import from PD7 menu it appears to be looking for .dzt files and my PD6 title files are stored as .png files. I'm sure there is something silly I'm missing here  Any hints great appreciated
Many Thanks as always you guys are brilliant
David

Thanks Dafydd,
I am new to this process so bare with me. I have actually read that post and used it to make my water marks - which is great. If I under stand what you are suggesting: I need to copy the image of choice and edit it to make a new title tile and insert this? Can you give me a link that descibes how the animation is done and the speed of the animation adjusted? For instance, in the sports template there is a sports boarder and lots of sports words / quotes flying down the side of it. In vacation there is a series of buses driving along the bottom of a border. Also in The Vacation styles section there is .wmv files used as picture in picture effects but this animation sequence is not what is being used for the titles.
Thanks for the help greatly appreciate the advice!!
Cheers

Hi folks,
Looking for help on how to edit / create new title slides / templates for Magic movie wizard and how to use the effects magic movie wizard uses. I have been using the sports template with magic movie maker and would for instance, like to edit the "Sports border frame", the "extreme" slide and a couple of others. Is it possible to do this? How can I create slides that Magic movie wizard can pick up and run with?
Any Help greatly appreciated. The Magic Movie wizard is a great function - Loving it!!
