Hello all,
I produced a movie last night and all of my project files were erased after. All of my custom PIP and all of the project the media files were saved in a separate folder on my hard drive, all gone now...I used save as and auto save.... I'm going to create another project and produce again and see what happens..any advice for avoiding this in the future?
Thanks!
Check the following.
You should save the project in: File, Save Project As ...
To upgrade use File, Save Project
Do not use the Auto Save Project folder to save your master project.
In this folder, a copy of each project is automatically saved (backup)
If you have problems with your Project, use this copy.
These auto save projects are deleted automatically after 30 days
Check the folder you selected in, Preferences, File, Export folder.
There you save the files created from the Produce module.
The folder in, Preferences, File, Import folder.
Show where you should be, your videos etc ...
See the attached image.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how can I set PD16 to use the dedicated GPU (Nvidia) on my laptop and not use the integrated Intel GPU, please?
The Nvidia control panel shows PD16 is using the integrated GPU and I'm unable to change it as it it greyed out.
Thanks!
Please tell us what your video card (GPU) so other members who have the same may have some idea about the problem.
There are recent complaints about updating new drivers, which does not work as it should.
For this case Reverting to the old drivers should resolve.

Think that I see the problem. Go to Preferences/Projects and copy the whole directory path and post it here. It may be what you are showing in your screenshot.
C:\Users\John S. Thompson\Documents\Cyberlink Projects\
I lost 3 more projects today.
Please I hope this helps you tell me what is wong.
The folder shown in your image is for storing the AutoSave Project. [backup of your Main Project]
This function shows off, must activate for your safety.
These files remain for only 30 days, after they are automatically deleted.
This can be changed in Preferences, General, Auto delete temporary files every.
The folder where you are going to save if project should be indicated when doing File, Save Project As ...
This folder is shown in the settings. Preferences, Files, Import Foldes
(Work folder) see the image https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/downloadAttach/23988.page

Hello,
I produced a couple of projects a few years ago in PD10 and would like to be able to edit them, using PD16 now. I dropped the completed project, (Movie) into the timeline but cannot figure out how to divide and edit the project. I am trying to avoid having to re-insert and edit the original un-produced project as the links to the files in the project are dead and trying to recover all the dozens of individual files would be very, very, very time comsuming if even possible. The thing is all I want to do is replace a couple pictures that are outdated and then re-produce and burn it.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
If you need any additional information please let me know.
Thanks for your time all.

I think you can not use the old complete project
Maybe some effects or text can be harnessed
1 - New project add the video produced.
If you want to keep the full audio in the timeline, right click on the video and select Link / Unlink Video and Audio
Lock the audio track.
Edit the video track, use the Split button at the beginning and end of the part to replace, select the part, Delete, select Remove and Leave Gap.
2 - New Project taking advantage of the effects of the old project
Open the old project, Save As, name for security, delete what you will not use, leave others around in the timeline.
Add the old video follows as in topic1, drag the effect to where you want to use it.

In PD16, go to Files, Recent files
If your project shows in the list, open it, PD will find your project.
--------------
I always start by creating a folder with the name of the job to do.
add the material that I will use, videos, images, music ...
In PD16 after adding videos (for example) "Save as", save project to the same folder, I give "Save" a few times during an edit to update the project.

I was just looking at my projects folder and almost everthing had been deleted!
I upgraded to 16 on 1/2/2018 and made videos and saved after doing so consistantly every day, but now there is NOTHING older than 2/16/2018.
Everything before that was deleted!
I can't trust the program to save my projects.
That's not good.
What can I do to recover my projects and prevent this in the future?
I run Windows 10 with 32 gb of RAM
Please help.
I see you save your projects in the same folder.
I use a folder for each project, this contains besides the project file, all the specific material for the work, videos, images, music.
For the case that your project disappeared, maybe you have an autosave project, check this hidden folder, but can be changed as I did, see the image.

Gussian blur, so...
- Mask window make resizable
- Able to move slider to another point/time
- Zoom in, so if I want to blur small part of video, it would not be so difficult to resize blur box to correct size
- Add fade in/out
FX Blur Mask, Use Keyframe module to adjust size, movement, position, appear and disappear the effect, see the video end image, exemplo.

You can copy and paste the fonts in c:\windows\fonts folder so you will be able to use them in any application
Thanks for the reply but how do you import the fonts into PD?
Fonts downloaded from the web. Executable files, give 2 clicks, installs on Windows and can be used for any application, including PD16, use in Title Room (F7). see video https://youtu.be/GDDqmZWJrvQ

Yes, its the FX zoom in effect.
I am talking about still image, keyframe, zoom in effect, width and height ratio. There is a slider for width and height ratio.
The default maximum setting is 114. I would like to set it to a much lower value. Say 50. How can I do this.?
Is there any registry setting where I can change the default value?
I was not able to modify the default setting.
But there are other ways of doing it easy.
1 - Using FX Zoom In or Out.
Add the 1, set in the Keyframe module.
Select the effect, use Ctrl + C keys
Use Ctrl + V keys to paste as many as you want
2 - Using Magic Motion (my favorite)
Select the images that will apply the effect
Alt +2 keys, choose User Defined
Make the adjustment, it will be applied to all selected images in the timeline.

I normally use the function Pack product materials when I have finished editing a project. Then I could store this file anywhere and re-use at a later date. Lately I have found that clips are missing when I re open the project. Please help. I thought that the function Pack product materials as a safeguard operates to conserve the clips in one place.
Various intro sequences that I use regularly are now unavailable.
Are you opening the project file "name" .pds, which is in the same folder?

Hello,
I've been using PD 16 for a few weeks now to create my let's plays and have been using the previous versions for a couple of years. I always loved this software because it's easy to use.
Now, today I started the software up again to create a new video, but every time I start cutting or putting in a transfer animation, or just about anything, the software keeps crashing. It's so bad I can't even use the software right now.
So I thought maybe someone on this forum can help me with this problem or maybe someone else is having the same problems right now.
I did install the latest update and all my drivers are up to date as well. I checked before I posted on this forum. And I checked with editing other videos as well, but still the same problem. And there is enough space on my hard drive as well.
Really hope there is a solution to this problem.
I see your video card is similar to my AMD R9 200.
Here the driver update has problems with HA in PD16, disable maybe solve the problem. see image
The last AMD update that works HA is this, non-whql-win7-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-relive-17.7.1-july10

I have downloaded some audio clips from the Director Zone, and double clicked on them, per instructions, so they are supposed to move to the appropriate place. My question is, once I have them, how do I use them in Power Director? In other words, how do I get them into my timeline?
2 click the file, name.dza, if it is with PD16 open in Media Roon (F3) appears the audio to be applied in editing.

Hi,
I bought a copy of PD16 today and am unable to install it.
I am able download Cyperlink applications manager but when I try and open it all I get is a large black sqaure in the middle of the screen. I've tried uninstalling the program and restarting several times in various combinations and I dont have any other video editing software installed.
I'm using windows 10 on a HP Pavillion 14
Any help is very appreciated
Paul
I do not know if I understand your problem
You have downloaded the files that received link's by email.
2 click on file, 1_CyberLink_PowerDirector16_ (version)
It starts the installation, it takes a little while doing analysis of your pc.
Then install the material packages in the same way
Otherwise check here if your PC meets the specifications for PD16.

Hi all,
recently i upgraded to PowerDirector v16 ( i used 12 before ).
Now i got this KEY to register my product, but the problem is that when i open the SW i get the message about
expiration of the trial version.
So when i type it the KEY that i was given, it shows like it is trying to connect to Cyberlink servers to register, but eventually come up with the below error:
'Cyberlink powerdirector was not activated because a connection to the activation server could not be established. Check your internet connection and try again....;'
i tried everything i can - i went online to my account on Cyberlink and i see that my new product is listed as version 16 with the new key, but on my computer i cannot get it to work! it won't load at all now that trial version is exired ....
Please help?!!??
Amaliag1
In my understanding PD16 purchased is not trial version (does not expire)
I think a previous PD cleaning, all that is possible, can solve.
In case of update PD16, it is necessary to reinstall PD12, it does not need material packages.
Then install PD16 and its material packages.

I have a huge problem with a video I am working on.
There was one clip that needed to be horizontally flipped. After that was done, the ENTIRE video played upside down. To try to resolve this, I isolated the clip in question, flipped it horizontally on its own, rendered it as an mp4 and inserted the flipped clip back into the original movie. It still plays upside down in the preview window, although all the photos and video clips in the project show properly on the time line. Nothing I have tried seems to work.
I have had this problem before under different circumstances, as have other people, so this is a known issue.
Apparently Cyberlink is unable to fix the problem.
Is there anyone who knows how to fix this? Getting desperate and ready to throw in the towel!
The way I do, I spin the video directly in Preview.
In the case of part of a video, I split at the beginning and end of the part to be turned.
In the timeline select the clip, in the Preview shows a blue circle in the center, act on it to rotate the image.

The following is for an audio file I am trying to put pictures in sync to.
I can see the wave format of the audio on the audio track, and I can see where there is a pause such as when someone is taking a breath. So there is a two second pause but I hear the person speak before it comes to the 'bump' in the wave format indicating that they actualy are supposed to speak at that moment.
I cannot correct this by editing the audio as it's not out of sync with anything but the audio.
I have all the latest patches.
Any help would be appreciated.
It looks like the wave does not match the audio.
A suggestion:
1 - In the timeline select the audio, click button, Edit Audio, AudioDirector or WaveEditor, make any edit close.
A new audio file will be created in PD16, which will correct the wave.
2 - Save the project, shut down PD16 back to the project, sometimes fix errors in the timeline.

My video card is AMD R9 270 this had hardware acceleration until July 2017, drivers update (every month has new) I can no longer use have HA.
If I enable HA, I have green screen for fullhd videos added on the timeline. If I'm going to produce any video with HA enabled, lock PD16.
I was thinking that my board was already obsolete.
Now I see complaints about nvidia, it seems the same case, "new drivers"
I'm assuming the problem is with PD16, other applications works fine, including the image is better for viewing in general.
Unfortunately without HA, I do not have in rendering, about 15% faster, also the CPU relief that works below 50%.

If I understood you I would see the elapsed time of the clip.
By moving the cursor over the clip and clicking to select it, I have the exact time that the cursor is stopped on the clip.
Does not work for the video clip being played
[quotePostId=299522]You can choose between movie time and clip time, but I often need to know where the current location is in the file that the clip comes from.[/quotePostId]

If I understand you want to add a green background image over any video.
Must use tool, Chroma Key
In the timeline 2 clicks on the image, select and adjust for better quality. see picture

I'm trying to get the foreground picture to pop up in another part of the video without sliding
Thank You, Fundalo Vega
