QuoteI'm not aware of any tools that can do that with PD. You can stabilize the clip and you can motion track an object, but the simplest way to do what you're wanting to do would be to try the Crop/Zoom/Pan tool.
Although it looks very complicated, it's actually straightfoward and you'll probably get the hang of it fairly quickly. Be sure to close the tool and save the project often so you don't lose any of your hard work!
I would appreciate having the ability to apply a Motion Tracker inside the Crop & Zoom feature. For example, I would like to crop my video frame and then have the frame follow the tracked object.
When I looked at the Motion Tracker originally, I noticed that the software does have the ability to track objects. But looking among the other features, I could not find a way to crop the video while following a tracked object.
If this feature is already included somewhere, please let me know.
Ok. That points to something with your computer. Can you please look at the Read Me Before Posting thread at the top of the PD16 forum, and follow the steps for posting the exact version number and the DxDiag test results?
That's the best way to figure out what might be going on.
Here's my info. Thanks for the help!
PowerDirector Version: 16.0.2816.0
SR number: VDE180201-08
I've tried using the tool to make various edits and didn't see the issue you've described. Please take a look at this video:
It's possible that you've done a specific step or sequence when the time display reverts to the full duration, and I may not have done that in my quick test. Please post back if you have any more info!
Yes, I'm doing exactly what the person in the video is doing with PowerDirector17, but when I change/move the keyframe like they do, the time display doesn't always update.
When I open the Crop/Zoom power tool to edit the video the time display does not update. It displays the total time for the video. When I play the video in the Crop/Zoom power tool, the time display updates in real time. But when I stop the video and select, for instance the key frame at 10 seconds, the time display does not display 10 seconds, it displays the total time for the video. Sometimes I am able to get it to display 10 seconds, but I haven't figured out how to reproduce that outcome consistently. Can anyone help? Thanks!
