I tried to add multiple videos to the blending effect, but it was a real hassle to make it work. Because each file took me half an our to get it to work, I made a (Windows batch) script that prepares each video file in the same folder to be used in Powerproducer.
Instructions:
- copy/paste the script in a new text file, give it any name you like but make sure the file extension is .bat
- put all blending videos together in one folder together with the script(file)
- run the script (double click the file)
- the script will make a new subfolder for each video. Move all these subfolders to the BlendEffect folder
Remarks:
- The script will prepare all files found in the same folder including non-video files. It doesn't have any verification or error handling. Be sure you run the script in a folder with blending movies solely annd copy only the associated subfolders
- The type of blending, opacity, etc. are static in the script, but you can always edit the .XML file afterwards if you like.
- It took quite some time to figure it out, but Powerdirector only reads the blending videos when the .XML file is Unicode encoded.
- You can find quite a few well quality (free) blending videos if you search for (free) overlay videos
