It's hard to believe that you are still talking about saving a file after all this. Everything you need to know (and more) is in this thread now. I told you that .PDS is a PowerDirector project file (it is an XML file basically I believe). The tutorial I shared shows you how to output your video and even goes in some detail about the some of the different formats and how to edit video profiles. It is obvious you didn't watch it all the way through.

You can't just save a video file into a different format like it is an image file. If you can't understand that, there is nothing anyone can do for you unfortunately.

WOW!! After all that the real person comes out. No need to get rude. BTW, I did watch the whole video, and what they showed in the video I already had tried, and it did not work. As far as terminology (saving a file) I STATED FROM THE BEGINNING THAT I DIDNT KNOW THE TERMINOLOGY OR IF I WAS WORDING IT RIGHT. Sorry if you can't understand that I tried all of this before I decided to post in this forum! Thanks for time.
Quote KingKing2020 - Think about this. Say that you want to drive a car from Los Angeles to New York City. In the Edit module you create a roadmap save it as a .pds file. That is the roadmap you created and save. You want to go to New York with the roadmap you created and saved.

The next step is to drive the car to New York. That is the Produle module. You want to drive there using the roadmap you created and saved in the Edit module so you won’t get lost and drive aimlessly.

As AshWilliams pointed out, you saved a roadmap, the powerdirector script file. You still need to drive the car to New York by using the Produce module.

Hope this helps...


Great analogy. But sorry it wasn't helpful. I do understand the process but I don't see away to change the Save as file. They only give one option. It does not give an option to save it as anything else.

As I said, you don't save the video. Click the Produce button at the top of the window. That is where you need to be to output your video.

Well, that was the first thing I tried and it didn't work. Thanks anyway
Quote You aren't saving your video, you are saving a PowerDirector project. To output your new file, you need to render all the components, producing a new file.

See this tutorial for help: https://www.cyberlink.com/learning/powerdirector-video-editing-software-ultimate/217/hd-video-export-tutorial

It's from an older version, but everything is pretty much the same in the latest version.

Hello Ash, thank you for your quick response. But I'm sorry it did not help me save my video. Yes, it was an older version and it showed things like resolution and changing some things, but it stopped short of discussing how to transform the PowerDirector project into a video that can be used. Can you assist me with that?
I'm new and do not know where to post this question or even if I'm wording the question correctly. When I make a video and save it. There is no way to change the save as type. It only saves as type: POWERDIRECTORSCRIPT. And that format can not be transferred online. It will not let me download it to Facebook or Youtube. I need advice and/or assistance.
