Thanks for the advise about turning the error message off in the Preferences, never even thought about about checking the Preferences list. Old fart's mind in action, well maybe not that much action. Again Thanks.

Since I was not doing a Gaming capture, I was thinking I too had done something wrong while doing a screen capture as well.

I too am getting a 'Time Frame Rate Conflict' with a video having a frame rate of 29.97FPS even though the 'Timeline frame Rate' is set to 30 FPS (NTSC) in General Preference. What I did was to use a video converter and re-convert the video clip.

I did several conversion and the files were saved as a .mp4, .mov, and .avi files. Now having no more popup errors of 'Time Frame Rate Conflict' after converting the video clip. Hope the attached video clip can be of some help.
I did a short tutorial on this subject matter and it is posted on YouTube . It will show the image ratio (width & height) of each image and how the image ratios does not matter in this case. The only thing important is the new images and the original image both have to be in SAME FOLDER in order to use the new image, then re-open the same project and now the new image with the old original's name and effects is being shown...
Was just about to shut down for the night when an idea pop-up. One could make chapters for each parcels when making a dvd. Then one can select a particular parcel of land to show the client.
I used an actual plat survey, is this what you are wanting to accomplish? The attached zip is a packed project using PD-12, the video is a 10 second clip of the project.

One would need to make a separate png file, as in this case, for each parcel of land needing to have a pop-up and a background for that particular parcel filled in the color of black. When this parcel begins to pop-up, it will give the appearance as if it has left the plat and is now free floating and coming toward you..
There is a YouTube video showing how to do this:

This is on the Cyberlink Channel of YouTube, check it out.

Quote: Thanks BarrytheCrab for the suggestion, but I just want the images to cover the entire 16:9. Powerdirector does it in their tutorial, of how to do a time lapse but doesnt tell you how they did it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyeriBXL3PI

At 1:15 in the video.

I have tried editing the photos prior to putting them in the slide show creator but they still convert them back to 4:3.

Anyone else have any ideas?


Looking at the youtube video tutorial, it looks to me as if the Project Aspect Ration was set to 16:9, was your Project Aspect Ratio 4:3 or 16:9 ?
Just wondering.
Why not use iWisoft Free Video Converter program? It does exactly what you need plus more.
To have the video to play automatically and loop continuously sounds great to me, Some children's DVDs have the option to play the disc continually, this especially nice to have while one does the chores around the house, like making videos in PD-10...

Wouldn't it be nice to have that option as it is in Windows DVD Maker? in WDM, just go to DVD-Video settings, click Play video in a continuous loop. You will still be able to see the menu if you choose the menu option using the remote control for your DVD player.

In some movie Players, for watching on the computer and etc., just set play for Continuous, or Repeat.

As a work around: I looked and found the button on my DVD remote control for it to Loop, others might read as Repeat.

Hope this helps, but the option while making the DVD in PD-10 also sounds great.

Barry,

I did not see the build 3321 you referred to at http://www.cyberlink.com/support/powerdirector-ultra/patches_en_US.html.

What was shown as the latest build for PD-10 is " 2012-11-18 PowerDirector 10 build 2231 update".

Am I missing something or do I need to update my glasses to the latest vision build or just get the lasik surgery?

Bill
BTW,
I updated my computer profile as well.
Gert,

What I did was take the 20 second clip, place on track one in timeline, split it at 10 seconds. Then apply the particle effects needed on one clip (up to 7), then apply the particle effects needed on the other clip (up to 7)again.

In the Particle track, one cannot stack the effects on top of one another as one can in the video tracks.

Hope this answers your questions, if not then don't hesitate to reply back in more details.

Bill
Tony,

Thanks for bringing to my attention as being behind in updating the PD-10. After during all of the installs, reformatting hard drive, thought I was up to date. After checking, I was only two updates behind.

Thanks again, but will have to wait on PD-11 before getting these images to be applied correctly.

Bill
Here it is Thursday night at 10:53PM CST and it's 101 degrees or 81 Celsius. Hot, but will be even hotter tomorrow.

Examples of the effects that can be obtained in Cyberlink Power Director 10 simply by changing the Fonts and using different keys from the keyboard. One is only limited by the font and the keys to produce all kinds of shapes and lettering.

Has anyone being experimenting?

When applying a texture image to the 3D-Like Title, the image will be display on the title ok. However, by selecting a different texture and applying it, without saving first, the texture image will display, but when a 3D rotation is applied, the texture image will not be displayed. There is no set number of applying the different textures to the same 3d-Like title as to when this blank out will occur. Sometimes after applying 2 images, sometimes after 8 images have been applied. Do not know if this happens in PD-11.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gwwjXel0us

The reason for applying the different texture image is to select which will be the best to be displayed on that particular image. Sort of like a woman trying on different pairs of shoes before she buys 15 pairs.... IMHOAO. "In My Humble Old Age Opinioin"

This is a tutorial, recorded by using "oCam" screen capture, in about using 3D title and the effects one can obtain just by changing the font. Also now getting a cylinder.

Started off using the 3D Like Square-1 title made from the Default title in the the Title Room (F7).
Here is how to create this new 3D title:
Place the Default title onto timeline,
Click on it and select Modify. This will allow you to Modify the selected title template in the Title Designer.
Hightlight the "My 3D Title" text and enter the number "1" without quotes.
Change the font color to White
Change font size to 127
Change font to "SQUONT 5", NOTE This font is available from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjDToL23h3c
A link to a free download of the custom Square Font and the 4 Cubes Sequence used in this tutorial, is available to any PDtoots "SUBSCRIBER", by simply sending us a PM requests.
Now Select "Save As' as to save the current title design as a new template. It is worth doing this step for sure. Give it a new name like "3D SquareFont5"
Now start modify the new 3D template.

Can add different jpegs, pngs to the 3D textures settings from the Text Skin: Add Texture area.
View the video to see how changing the fonts can effect the output.

One can also develop an issue when trying to change the jpegs or pngs at one time rather than saving each and starting over. Do not know why at this time.

thanks all
I am still trying to make a revolving effect on a cylinder in PD-10.

The crude and colorful cylinder was made in Paint.net.
The top video was made from a rotating gif file.
The bottom video is the Nature.mpg which comes in Power Director.
Had to use (2) black Color Boards, one on each side of the cylinders to eliminate the bulging out of the Fisheye effect after applying it.
Still cannot seem to get the bottom video to fill out it's the area completely. When trying to stretch or re-size with the Modify, I am unable to position the video exactly to each side without covering the green sides of the cylinder. I get close, but it jerks to one side or the other, will not let me smoothly stretch out the video.
Any ideas???
Here is the what I have done so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-ilQEGYQh8
If needing the project file, png's, and/or videos just pm me with your email address.
Here is a better video showing a spinning cylinder.
forgot to post the produced video file as a result of the above actions, see the attached file named:
Spinning Cylinder with Mask Applied.mpeg
Once a cylinder shape was designed and save in Gimp as a gif file, I then used FormatFactory to convert the gif file to a mpeg file. I do not know if Paint.net can do the same as Gimp right now.

Opened PD-10, imported the mpeg into PD-10
Placed mpeg on Timeline

What to do with a background that is not transparent, here are two options to correct the not so transparent area:
A. Using The Apply Chrome Key Option
1. With the video selected in the Timeline, click the 'Modify' - which will open up into 'PiP Designer'
2. Within the 'Pip Designer', click on the empty 'square' for the 'Apply chrome key'
3. Click on the 'eye dropper' - which will bring up the 'chroma key settings'
4. Move the 'eye dropper' to an area needing NOT TO BE TRANSPARENT[u] and click on that area.
5. Also might need to increase the'Tolerance of intensity' level in order to finely tune the 'NOT Transparent' area.
6. Now click 'Save' and video is ready to be produced.

B. Using the 'Add/Edit PiP Effect Mask'
1. Clicked 'Modify' - opens up into 'PiP Designer'
2. Within the Pip Designer, click on the 'Add/Edit PiP Effect Mask' button.
3. Scroll down the different mask effects and select the mask having a vertical black area, then a white area, and finally a black area, see attached file named 3 verticals.png.
4. Now click on this mask and it will be applied to the video, see the following png showing the before/after adjustments:
B4 Selecting 3-verticals mask.png
after applying 3 vertical mask.png

5. Might need to turn off the 'Maintain Mask Aspect Ratio' in order to adjust the mask to fit the video area needing to be 'NOT TRANSPARENT', see the after applying 3 vertical mask.png
6. Now click 'Save' and video is ready to be produced.

Hope this helps out.

Thanks Cranston for the tip on making a spinning globe gif file, it is close to what I am trying to do.

While I was working in Gimp early this morning, 3:10AM , found these articles concerning revolving cylinder:

Gimp - Spinning Striped Pole
http://www.gimptalk.com/index.php?/topic/43857-gap-spinning-striped-pole/
and
http://www.gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?p=29374#p29374
and
http://www.gimptalk.com/index.php?/topic/16-creating-a-3d-cylinder-in-gimp/

Looks as if one will need to make a gif file after all. Shucks, I was trying not to do that, but the outcome for now is there.

Thanks Again,
Bill
