Here is something else to consider after you have separated the audio and video. You can move the audio track one frame at a time by holding down the ALT key and pressing the left or right arrow keys on the keyboard.
If the audio is out of sync uniformly, you should be able to get very close. If your frame rate is 24, each frame is 1/24 of a second; if it is 30 each frame is 1/30 of a second. So that allows you to be precise when it comes to your fine tuning of the syncronization.

I just did this with a baseball and then applied the settings to a football.
- Right click on the object you edited in the PiP Designer and choose "Copy Keyframe Attributes" from the pop-up menu.
- Place the other object in the timeline, then right click on it and choose "Paste Keyframe Attributes"
- Move the second object to the place in the timeline where the first one was.

Sounds like you've worked with other editors before.
You can do multi-cam editing in PowerDirector. But maybe that's not what you're looking at.
Here is a link to some tutorials that might help you. It's a clickable PDF file that links to the Sharper Turtle YouTube channel.

Are you looking to do a split screen?
Do you want to see them side by side or one above and one below?
--Jim

Below the preview screen you see two buttons. One is marked "Clip" The other "Movie".
Make sure the "Movie" is highlighted, then press the END key on the keyboard. This will take you to the end of your project. There should be something on a timeline at that location.
Hope this helps.

Tony,
Thanks for reminding me about options in the DirectorZone. I don't access it often enough.
Nice to be part of a community where users can get multiple solutions to their queries.

I'd suggest you put the image on a higher track and then keframe it using opacity to appear and disappear.
This link might help you if you are unfamiliar with opacity and keyframing.

Do you have any of the Adorage effects in your version of PowerDirector.
If so, there is an effect in Volume 2 Alpha-FX that will do what you are looking for.
Alternatively, you can use a mask to accomplish this task. Choose a circular mask and then keyframe the scale from large to small.
Here is a tutorial on how to do that.

Oops. I missed the fact that he was in the menu designer. I thought it was just an image on a track.

Here's a thought that just worked for me.
- I clicked on the image and went to the PIP Designer.
- I turned on the "fade-out" and the image did indeed fade out. But "fade-out" does its work by setting opacity keyframes.
- So I went to the opacity keyframe properties under the image and right clicked on one of the two keyframes near the end of the timeline.
- Then I used the "remove all keyframes" option.
- The "fade-out" box was still checked, but the image no longer faded out.
Hope this helps.
