I think this is good advice from optodata and I decided to take it up. I rated the application 'one star' and added the following comment:

This is the worst version of Power Director I have yet worked with.
(1) It crashes when I try to load FX onto the timeline.
(2) Why has 'Apply to All' been removed from Editing?
(3) Why does the scrubber no longer go to the beginning of a clip when you click on it?
(4) Why has user-intuitive functionality (eg. opacity) been transferred from the timeline to menus in Editing therefore adding to the work-flow?
(5) Why have other user-intuitive functions (such as the 'View Details' icon in the Library) also been transferred behind menus thereby requiring more clicks to obtain the same outcome?
(6) Also the colour scheme is hideous!
You've taken an elegant and intuitive user-interface that has worked well through a series of iterations over years and 'dumbed' it down to something that even moderately advanced users find totally frustrating.
Please bring back PD21!

Don't know if it will make any difference, but perhaps others might like to try as well?

The 2024 Edition is PURE GARBAGE.... It has essentially become unusable. I cannot go more than 5 minutes without it crashing. This is a pitiful excuse for video editing software.... not even 3rd rate.

When I import my MP3 files, their duration is extended by 30 seconds on each file. This just started a few days ago and I have never had this issue. I contacted tech support but they wanted me to jump through several non-essential hoops that ended with a request for me to make a video of the entire error. I figured I would pop in here to see if any other users have this probelm before producing videos for tech support.
