Hi. In my video I have a cartoon jpg image of a woman and the word OMG. When it is on screen during my video I'd like to quickly flip it, rotate it, and create a tile effect through to the next image.
These are classic commonly-used fast action effects that work well with comic images.
I can't see how to make my PowerDirector 365 do them. Is it possible?
What you are trying to do is not that complicated, if I understand you properly.
Have a look at this screen capture. I believe it shows what you're trying to do.
As AVPlayVideo said, you can only copy & paste keyframe attributes between videos/phots that have the same aspect ratio. Anything else will result in distortion.

Hi Tony. I still have a problem converting landscape objects to portrait. I followed the instructions in your YouTube video. It worked. Everything went portrait without distortion.
I wasn't 100% sure I understood it but it worked.
Now I have more landscape images and videos to the project. The first image converted OK to portrait. But then to my horror the videos I'd previously coverted to portrait reverted to landscape.
Here's roughly what I'm doing...
1. I selected the new clip and converted it to 9:16 on the top dropdown menu.
2. I dragged the new image\clip to the timeline. [should I have selected them all again with an outline and dragged them all onto the timeline again?]
3. I selected the first item on the timeline, [a text .jpg created in Paint3D] and used the right-click menu to copy its key frame attributes.
4. I pasted those keyframe attributes to the ensuing images\clips. Everyone of them reverted to landscape, [see the attached screen dump].
It's got to be something simple but I can't see it. Can you. Thanks Neil.

I think I've cracked it. My problem [I think] was that I was trying to manually resize the second clip after pasting in the attributes from the first photo.
QuoteNow I've seen your project have videos in 16:9 format (landscape) and photo in format (portrait) 9:16
Must apply (Paste Keyframe Attributes) only to videos or photos what is 16:9 format (landscape)
To select only the 16: 9 material in the timeline.
Holding the Ctrl key, click on material 16: 9
The images and videos imported into the project are all 16.9 landscape. The produced final video is all 9.16 portrait.
My problem is that when I add a the Keyframe Attributes I've copied from the image, now 9.16, to the imported 16.9 video. I can't adjust the imported video, now in 9.16, so the action is not distorted.
My video example, attached, shows a landscape of a boy and girl embracing. You can see that when I convert it to portrait it distorts the boy and girl. I can't adjust it to get a normal undistorted video of them.
After you add the videos to the timeline, change the "Set Project aspect ratio" box to "9:16"
Hi again.
Thanks for your feedback.
My problem comes from "Pasting key attributes". Refer to my attached jpg, which shows the original landscape image and video, and the distorted portrait version of the video..
As you instructed I dropped a photo jpg and a video onto the timeline, selected them and set 9:16.
I then adjusted the photo of the unhappy couple to fit portrait, and clicked "copy frame attributes"
I then selected my video clip and applied "Paste keyframe attributes" The clip then become a distorted closeup of friendly couple.
I find it impossible to avoid that distortion. That's the problem.
How can I fix that? Maybe it's necessary to use the PowerDirector "Crop, zoom and pan" supertool. Have you used that?
