I have been searching for a way to make or download a hockey type title that I can use for the video's I record of my son's hockey games. I'm looking for something similar to what you would see in a televised NHL game, the banner across the top with an aluminum/metatlic border with room for the opposing teams names and scores and additional room for indications of a power play or information on goals and assists. If you've seen an NHL game, you'll know what I'm talking about. I can figure out how to get the text in the right place using the title creator, but it's the border/outline that I can't figure out.

Barry,
That was exactly what I was looking for. It looks like I have my work cut out for me. Even with the sensitivity set to 0, it detected 17 clips on one reel where I only saw 4. Luckily, I can select multiple clips and merge them together to get just what I want and then change the alias of each clip to allow me to sort them out chronologically. Once I get that done, it's on to cleaning them up and making them look better, but that will probably be another post. Thanks for the tip.

Just to clarify, by 8mm, I'm talking actual cellulose film from the 1960's projected on a screen by a high powered light bulb and mechanical projector. The DV camera I used has a firewire port which I used to transfer all 60 reels, hour by hour, to digital AVI format, which now exist as 60 individual files on my hard drive. The long hours of capture are over (I hope) and now the even more hours of sorting, trimming and enhancing begin. Just looking for recommendations for taking these individual files and breaking them up and sorting them out.

I have decided to embark on the task of converting my grandparent's 8mm home movies to digital format. I'm looking for any tips or tricks from the CyberLink experts out there on how to proceed with editing and sorting these and producing something wonderful. At this point, I have used my trusty DV video camera aimed at the movie screen that I have projected each reel of 8mm film onto, to create 60 digital .AVI files. I tried my newer HD video camera, but those looked really grainy. Each 'reel' may have multiple scenes, for instance, a summer BBQ and Christmas. What are the best ways for breaking these 'reels' up into individual scenes, editing out the random shot of the ground or over exposure of the film, etc.? I have used other video editing software over the last 10 years or so, but am new to CyberLink PowerDirector 13. In other software, I have been able to split the video in the media library before moving it to the timeline, but it appears I cannot do this with CyberLink, so I have toyed with taking each reel, trimming it and saving the desired scene as a separate AVI. My current plan is to use those AVI's to put together a completed video, but I'd like to know if anyone has had any success with a different approach.
