Mine is on a different drive and path because I choose it during the initial installation. Finding it should be easy on the pc. A search for backgrounds with file explorer on each drive on the pc should reveal the location of the folder.

Try this: After changing the duration in that modify window, the numbers in there is highlighted. Hit the enter key on the keyboard and the duration should change.

The transitions in the mobile app have always been the cross type. You may be able to simulate an overlap transition by placing the next clip on the overlay track. Overlap the ends and use the appropriate fades.

Yeah I see what you mean. The dialog balloons are titles in Cyberlink PowerDirector and they don’t resize automatically at all in the program. You have to do it in title designer manually too if you want. Yes you could do this in word as you say.

Looking at your two different screenshots, it would mean that the capture device is not connected to your new pc active usb port. It is also possible that you installed the capture device driver on the old computer so you get the blue screen on that screenshot. You did not think it was necessary to install the device driver on the new pc which shows the analog TV button not active. Try installing the device driver on it and see if it helps.
If installing the capture device driver did not help then you can buy a new capture device to see if it works on your new pc.

There are the white balls on the dialog balloons to resize on my version of PhD once I highlight it.

This is something that Cyberlink does, I believe to catch pirates. A few years ago I qualified to download the Power2Go member version for free for spending x dollars. The downloaded Power2Go doesn’t install. Contacted Cyberlink support and they sent a file to me to look at all the software and produce the list and send it back to them to look at. Afterwards they sent a link to allow downloading a Power2Go that installs. About a year later I uninstalled Power2Go as I use a different software. A user here reported a problem with Power2Go so I decided to redownload that from the website. Guess what? Got the same error that it won’t install. I did not bother to contact support about it. I went ahead and installed the working version they sent me from a backup and it works. Support never bother to replace that defective Power2Go that won’t install as that may be a good way for them to see what users have on their pc.
There was a link to download a previous version of PD365 but the link has expired and is no longer active.
I believe that you should ask Cyberlink support to give you a link to the previous version. After you receive it be sure to save the install file so you don’t have to contact them again should another update cause problems in the future.
It may be okay to give them a list of software on your pc if you are comfortable with it.
Hope this helps.

Sometimes when I enter Capture menu in Power Director 365, instead of finding the menu in which the option to capture from a TV signal is available, I reach another one with different content in which the possibiluty of capturing from a tV signal is disabled. How can I get the original menu again?.
This question has appeared in multiple forums and the answer is basically the same each time. See if this thread can help: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/97284.page .

Next time you download from Shutterstock, watch the download info. It may be a .mov file. If it is then search for the solution in the forum or in the YT tutorials if it causes the same problem.

I use an external ssd with a usb3 connection. Able to create working BD folders to it that works just fine. I know that selecting a class 10 speed flash drive will not work. Speed as you found is the answer.

When editing, the only tools I have access to is split and trim. Under drop down box for tools, there is Power tools, Audio Ducking, Motion Tracker, Action Camera, Blending effect, and View. What happened to the other tools like ripple, slide, etc?
Ripple and Slide are in other editors. Film... Prem.... Not in PD.

Thanks for your reply. I have attached a snip image of the dxdiag results to my reply.
I am asking as I only recently brought my new laptop (my new laptop is where I have experienced powerdirector crashing) and I had transferred all of my folders on my old laptop to my new laptop using my external drive, which included the Cyberlink folders.
But when I had tried to open an old cyberlink .pds project file on my new laptop, my new laptop with the new installation of cyberlink was not able to open the file. Instead it opened my project and showed me the placement of all my video clips in the project, but they were greyed/faded out, and I interpreted that as cyberlink not being able to locate the video clips which formed the project. Fortunately I had 'produced' what I had of the project so far, and so I opened the produced file instead and continued working on my video that way.
Hence my confusion about how I am able to prevent this happening again to my project, as I never produced this particular project,, only had the .pds version. 
Use the feature File/Packed Project Materials to a folder on the old computer so that you can move or take the same project to another or different computer to open it.
I believe that you have gotten good help in the meantime as this is not what you stated as the problem in your initial post. A packed project allows you to transport the project with all the necessary assets to any pc with the PD20/365 correctly installed and be able to open it.

Thank you, I have found it 
I will make a copy of that autosave folder and save this folder and its contents to my Documents folder. Before I uninstall and reinstall it, do I need to make a copy of any other folders?
Also, presuming that the reinstallation works OK, how should I tell powerdirector where this autosave folder is? As I guess that powerdirector wont know where to locate it. I presume that simply pasting that folder back into the cyberlink folder in the directory I originally found it will work?
Many thanks,
C
Please read this sticky: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/85748.page#post_box_354916 and attach the DxDiag.txt on your next reply. This will allow users to see what may be wrong with the drive space.
The backed up autosave allows you to open any backed up .pds file from that folder without having to open PD20/365 first. You don’t need to tell PowerDirector the location of the autosave as it will either create a new one or keep the old one. Why should it matter at all? You can always buy an external drive and back up the whole computer to be extra safe if desired.
Be sure to save that current .pds file somewhere else too as a backup.

Thanks for the information regarding the .pds file. That is really disappointing as I am desperate to keep the file preserved.
I am currently trying to search for the autosaved copies... so far I cannot see anywhere that leads to a 'cache\autosave\' directory but I will update if I find it.
Regarding uninstalling and reinstalling, I have been wary of trying that, as I have assumed that this would cause my existing project to be erased... would this be the case?
Many thanks again for taking the time to help,
C
The AppData folder is a hidden file that you can make visible and see if you configure File Explorer to view it. Follow the PDM instruction. Do a sort in the right directory and you’ll see the latest autosave .pds on top.
Uninstall and reinstall may cause one to lose all the previous custom templates as some users may claim. Check with the PDM to see if it may or may not be true for some users.
You may want to backup the contents in that autosave folder before an uninstall and reinstall of PD20/365. You have to take risks and move on.

Although there is an S-VHS socket on the scart, and the software is set up for S-Video I have found that unlike televisions, PCs do not support a Y/C signal and the result is a monochrome picture, so unfortunately I've used a composite signal on my videos.
Like most users I capture in PowerDirector using the S-Video connection. Maybe that hometech converter which is no longer made is defective or made for an earlier version of Windows. You can try different S-video cables to see if one may be better.

This only happens on viewing those two photos over an internet connection. Suspect that the dithering is necessary because of the server bandwidth.

The NewBlue motion effects pack posted on 6/25/2022 on another thread by optodata works well in PD365 and is free to use for 14 days. After viewing what it does. It looks like you can approximate it with the tools in PD365 and by following the tutorials in the Cyberlink tutorial channel.

I have posted an easy way for anyone to create a working 8K custom profile in PD20/365. See this post for the details: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/97387.page . You should be able to produce a 8K video from an 8K video on the timeline. Let us know if you are successful.

Reference post: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/97363.page .
Here is an easy way to create an 8K custom profile in PD365. Follow these steps.
- Download the attached Asus 8k Phone 10 sec.mp4 and place it on the timeline.
- Do Alt-S to show that svrt is available with a custom profile working 100%. See the screenshot.
- Check the Clip properties to confirm the resolution, fps, and bitrates.
- Go to the Produce Page. Click the Profile Analyzer. Click the Intelligent SVRT tab. See the custom profile name, type, 7680x4320 resolution, 29.97 fps, 22 Mbps, Workload reduced 100%.
- Click Ok and the Intelligent SVRT - New Profile window pops up. You need to fill in the blue highlighted Profile name with the resolution like 7680 x 4320/30p so one can remember what it is for.
- Add to the Profile description the other pertinent data like frame rate, bitrate, etc. that describe the custom profile.
- Click OK on that box and the custom 8k profile is created.
Use that custom 8k profile on 8k videos. Using Nvidia Nvenc took 28 seconds to produce that 10 sec. Video on the timeline. Cpu encoding took 2 min, 30 seconds to produce. See the cpu encoded screenshot. More on this later as producing 8k video works differently, better, and faster with the earlier versions of PowerDirector.

Did I get you right that the new card will give a reduction in render to the one we already have for 20/365?
Yes. Like night and day. That Nvidia nvs 315 requires the old 8 year old fermi drivers and like PD12 to have hardware encoding for avc 1080p.
You can have 8K video encoding with the GTX 1660 Super for an additional $100 if using PD365. The Power Supply in that Dell may need to be replaced anyway to allow the power consumption of any more powerful video cards that you may buy..
