Sorry if I'm late to the party, but this used to frustrate me as well until I realised I could just put a colour board on the layer above the video timeline, stretch that to fill the screen and that would fade in and out over the join in my clips. It's a much nicer fade transition than the one that's applied to the videos.
Hope that helps.

Nice one - that saves me trawling through the settings. I've been recording in dual format for a while and editing the 720p versions but it's only recently I've decided to edit in 1080p so the fact PowerDirector Mobile didn't support the audio codec I had chosen was news to me.
Unfortunately, I can't go back and attend the 2019 Indy 500 all over again to re-record the footage, but at least I'll know for future use!

Thanks for the tip. I'll look at the camcorder settings to see what I can change for future use.
Do you know if there's a technical reason that PowerDirector Mobile doesn't support the original format?

Thanks for confirming that's the case.
Unfortunately, I don't have Power Director on my Windows machine - I like to do my video editing on my Chromebook during my commute to fill the dead time. I'll have to settle for doing it at home with Premiere.

It would appear that the AVCHD files aren't supported by PowerDirector Mobile.
I'll switch to Adobe Premiere Pro for this project as it's not like I can go back and record everything in a different format.

I've successfully edited a bunch of videos on my Chromebook, using PowerDirector Mobile and the 720p files taken directly from my Sony CX625 camcorder.
However, I thought I'd try the 1080p files to improve the quality but when PowerDirector plays them, both in preview and in the timeline, the audio comes out as a hissing sound.
I can preview these files directly from the folder on the Chromebook and on the camcorder so there's no issue with the files. It would appear to be an unsupported codec causing this in PowerDirector but I'm not sure how to remedy this.
Is there any solution or will I have to switch to editing on desktop?
