Click on the segment then use the right hand yellow handle on the timeline scrubber to drag and highlight to the end of clip. Now use produce range above the timeline to render the clip. When done it will go automatically to the library of your project


Hi,
I returned Corel Video studio because of stability issues, but it's the first video editing program I've used. In Corels program I could add a long video to the timeline and manually split it into segments. Then i could grab any segment and drag it into whatever media folder I chose. There would be no rendering time needed. I could drag all 20 clips out of the timeline and into the media library at once with no rendering. (No "Producing")
Is this possible in Power Director? I've noticed several other people in threads online asking the same question and getting replies that don't quite answer but instead suggest clunky work arounds. Here's what I want to do.
I capture a video off the internet that I want to break up into useable pieces for a video collage. The multi trim feature works really well for this workflow as I'm able to quickly split the video into clips.
Now if I had auto detected scenes. When I hit ok , those scenes are put into the media library. Where as thumbnails they can easily be viewed and pulled down into the timeline to be used in the final product. However, if I manually do the multi trim I have to carefully pull yellow markers over each clip and "produce " it as a new file type, essentially saving it as a new video all to itself for it to go up into the media library.
Some have suggested dedicating a track for components so all the multi trim edits are just sitting down in the timeline together. I understand that this process will still work but it's not as convienent to browse through clips by scrolling through the timeline as one has to leave the part of the video that one is working on to navigate through media files in timeline track. That defeats the purpose of having a media window open. This seems counter intuitive to me.
Any help is appreciated .
thanks,
Todd
