Hi Drone360 -
This sort of thing has been discussed in various groups over the years.
Specifically on the intros/outros templates, like logo reveals etc, there's a mountain of resources out there. Some you've mentioned. I understand what you're saying about templates as many are created in programs like After Effects so the project file can't be read by PDR.
BUT you'll usually find that the media content included in the download will work fine in PDR - e.g. alpha channel videos. Using these, with a bit of titling in PDR, can yield up decent results.
Most PDR users, I imagine, would be using a variety of resources to fill in the blanks left by PDR's functionality or our own imaginations/ability.
Do you have anything specific in mind? or is it a general interest question?
Cheers - Tony
Thanks for the reply, Tony,
I guess I was expecting more from Cyberlink as this seems to be the weak area of the bundle. The templates are so old and vendors like Adobe PS offer a subscription pricing comparable to Cyberlink but has modern tools and templates to handle these types of applications/files which leaves a void in Cyberlink's PD. This makes me reevaluate the program which was not my initial intent.
Thanks again,

I have been a Cyberlink PowerDirector and PhotoDirector user since PowerDirector 14. I am considering going to the Suite for 365 as I see some features and drawbacks.
I have recently had a need and desire to offer Logo Stings, FaceBook and Website Headers, Intros and Outros. There are a number of third party on-line/cloud services that have modern templates that I cannot duplicate with PowerDirector. True with Cyberlink there are hundreds of templates, but ALL are old school and unappealing. This is disappointing as Cyberlink is my preference over others like Adobe. I was hoping that I could do everything with the Cyberlink suite including my new requirements without paying for additional services from other vendors. Some considered are Viddyoze, Storyblocks, and Envato Elements that accomplish the task in modern style.
Am I missing something here or does the 365 suite offer all these plugins that provide what I am looking for? If it does, this would be a great value to me and a game-changer resource all in one place.
Any suggestions and/or direction would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

It would be very helpful if you could share the name of the website you used so other members might benefit. The more options there are, the better!
Absolutely! www.Kapwing.com.
Let me know what you think and/or any similar sites.

There are several threads already on the forum discussing various ways to create custom pixel sizes, and I've just updated this one to specifically address your 820x360 request.
Hi,
Thanks for replying to my forum request! The user image says I am a newbie but I have been using Cyberlink products for years, starting and including PowerDirector 14. I changed my email so my login started me all over again and labeled me a newbie.
Thru my search yesterday I was able to find an online free site that addressed this issue with a couple of clicks. There were no sizing issues, cropping needs, required trial and error, and no loss of resolution. As a result, I posted my Facebook header in a matter of about 5 minutes and fits exactly as intended.

I am trying to create a video for a header. Typically Facebook would be a great example of creating a video header. There appears to be no issue on videos that are posted as Facebook takes care of that, but when a specific sizing such as 820x360 pixels is required, is there some way of doing that in the output when produced or in post after it is produced (third party).
