Quote Hi Jon -

Obviously, PDR isn't able to generate such a thing (aprt from the .pds project file Carl mentioned). If you just need lists of media assets used in a project, there are ways to do that outside PDR. I've used this to make lists of CD tracks or video titles on discs to save retyping every title name.

The first thing to do is pack your project materials, which creates a single folder containing all your media & the .pds file.

There are two apps I've used to generate the lists of files in the project folder. JR Directory Printer is very basic (and free) and just creates a .txt file. A more flexible option is Directory List & Print - it can be used free but the Pro version is $20. It has way more options, including level of detail & output format.

I've attached an example of each. Had to zip because forum wouldn't allow spreadsheet attachment.

Thanks, ynotfish.

Unfortunately what I was needing is something that just pumps out the actual order that's listed in the timeline, and not just the list itself which it looks like both of these do. It's not that manually intensive of a process so I'll probably just do it that way. I had heard Adobe editor had a function like that so figured it was worth checking, but it's not a big deal if PD doesn't have it.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Regards,

Jon

The Powerdirector .pds file is a list of all of the editing commands in XML format. (Text format)

It includes the list of the media on the timeline in editing order.

Maybe you can use that.

If you add .xml to the end of a copy of the .pds file you can see all of the commands in most browsers. (rename name.pds to name.pds.xml)

Hi Carl,

Thanks for the response. I gave this a go and unfortunately I think this includes a much more extensive list of items so filtering out what I don't need would be much more extensive of a process than just making the list myself manually. I appreciate the suggestion!

Thank you

Hello all,

I've done some forum searching and glanced over the user's guide for powerdirector 15, but i haven't been abel to determine whether there is a hotkey for cycling through keyframes.

Specifically, if i go to a text title i've placed on the timeline, right click and selected 'Edit Title' or press F2, the text keyframe shows up on the bottom for things like position/scale/opacity/rotation, is there a hotkey that allows me to jump to the next placed keyframe so I can edit more quickly rather than manually clicking by mouse?

I wanted to attach a screenshot but it's telling me it needs to have https protocol.

Thanks for your time.

Here's what I get in PDR 14 & 15...

Does yours behave differently?

Thank you, Tony, for posting this video. That's the exact functionality issue I'm having.

I recently upgraded from PD13 to PD15 and I've noticed the scroll wheel functionality seems to be not working as it was previously. I used to be able to scroll up and down the project timeline bar with the video/audio clips on the bottom, but now it only seems to be partial functionality where i almost have to select a layer with my mouse first and it'll scroll to that layer then lock up. Scrolling up and down on my mouse wheel no longer takes me up and down on the timeline anymore.

I also notice that holding 'alt' and scrolling the wheel no longer moves the timeline left and right. Was this functionality removed or is there a way i can bring it back? It made life much easier.

Thanks,

Jon
