>>Automatic subtitles
There is speech to text tool to generate subtitles automatically.

>>animation of subtitles
Then you need "titles", in PowerDirector, subtitles are for YouTube CC or DVD/BD subtitles so no fancy animations by the spec.


Thank you.
Yes, I am considering YouTube content.
Have a few videos already.
Was hoping to upgrade them with subtitles and
perhaps animation on them.

Update: 648 am, 15 March 2023
Worked with the speech to text. Excellent addition to the toolbox!
Much easier to work with than some
stand alone offerings for the purpose.

Now I only wish I could go into the subtitle room
and select sequences to animate...
.
Have not played with it yet,
merely installed before going to bed.

When I start fiddling with 365 tomorrow, I am curious to learn...

Does 365 perform functions such as auomatic subtitles
or animation of subtitles...

Looking forward to this new experience.
Quote You did not say what is the size and the resolution of your monitor that you are using, like is it a 2k, 2.7k, or 4k, 5k, 1920 x 1080, 3840 x 2160, etc. and the aspect ratio of it.

Try this: Go to windows settings/System/Display resolution and see what is recommended. Make a note of it. Change it to 1280 x 720 or lower and click Apply. The menu text should be larger unless you are using a lower resolution monitor.


I set it to that.
(Previously was at 1366 x 768 on a 27 inh monitor)

PD19 still had small fonts.
Quote Try this: Windows Settings/System/Display/Scale/Text size - Move the slider to the right to increase the size of the text to your liking.
Using Windows 11.



i was looking for increasing the font size of the
words within PD menus
not all of Windows 11

I changed Windows 11 to as big as I could stand it
and PD 19 is still near microscopic.
Is there any method by which
i can increase the font size of the
words within PD menus?
Quote Hello,

I just downloaded two particles from the Director Zone web page, installed them, and found them by clicking on the Download tag in the Particles library. They are not in that folder for you?

Cheers

Nope. Not in downloaded section or any other
Recently downloaded several particles
Saved in a designated folder for PD
Clicked on them and was advised
they'd been added/installed

Started PD and they were nowhere to be found

Any constructive advice appreciated
Creating a video this week...
Wish to put captioned text in the video,
by inserting the entirety of the script.
Is this a doable option in PD19?
Quote Hello,

You can use the "Apply selected transition to all.." button to do this. See the attached and let me know if this is what you are looking for.

My head must be full of chocolate pudding or mud
maybe just feeling more idiot than normal
I looked at the 2 provided images and lack understanding
Sorry, apologize for sounding so dense
I do not understand how to perform the process
Working on a video with numerous short clips that I wish to
apply the same Fade In & Fade Out to
Is there a simple way to accomplish this without
manually applying it to every individual sequence?

HI,
Not clear what you mean exactly - are you talking about deleting duplicate titles outside of PDR or from within the title room?

Could you clarify with more detail?

Cheers

When editing a movie and enter Particle room
there are several choices available, and some selections are repeated.
Same with titles.
The available options appear more than once in the list of items.
Recently editing titles,
and found some titles repeated in the directory.
What is the safest/quickest way to delete the repeats?
Quote Hello,

Take a look at the "Out Animation" effects in the Title Designer. Something like the Drop Up animation might work, especially if you slow it down.

I played around with it a bit, and it seems the effect happens at the last 3 seconds.
Not exactly wax melting or bood dripping,
but fairly closse

Thanks. Will check it out
In an opening sequence,
I would like to have the title
melt away as if dripping blood
and/or wax disintegrating.
Curious to learn how this could be accomplished.

Thanks in advance for any assistance
Quote Use task manager to kill PD then reboot and see if PD behaves. Try opening a different project too.



Aha!

Stopped the annoyance by going into Device Manager

Found 3 instances of mouse drivers

Uninstalled all, restarted pc, and problem is gone.

Still have 3 mouse drivers, but the irritation has vaniished

So far...
Quote Use task manager to kill PD then reboot and see if PD behaves. Try opening a different project too.


Oh my

Now it is happening in Twitter and elsewhere.
Otimized all drives, ran virus scan, malware, spybot...
Gotta be my pc
Opening and working with PD19 s no biggie, but...
Once I start editing, every function is disabled,
with a spiniing cursor (circle) on top of all selectable actions.

Any help appreciated.
Putting together a video.
Have the text/script ready and all of the transitional slides...
Once it's all combined,
is it possible to add special effects to the narrator's cameo,
or should I do those first and then put them in?
Quote Since this is a forum of users, and Cyberlink function decision makers don't read all this (so they claim), I suggest to put your suggestion forward using the "Rate us & Provide suggestions option in the File menu.

With the (little) knowledge I have of the structure PD uses for templates and downloaded files, and looking at the structure where I see folders of a long series of older versions, I think that MANUALLY introducing some sort of time-line would be possible, maybe do so experimenting? Would be a lot of extra work though and no single file.
However, note that PD has to go through all those folders collecting the new and the older files before making them available in the various media and effects rooms, I would assume that it will take much time for PD after startup to make it all readily available for usage. I think that even now this extra load time is already barely acceptable.
Question of course is: what would be the benefit of such line up in one file per month?


The benefit?
Saving users the time of cllicking 30 times to download all files.
Archiving would be great as well
