With the 9:16 videos tested, when I step through the produced files frame-by-frame there is NO frame interpolation evident... just 4x the same frame. There are no intermediate frames generated.
When I read mathew MJB's first post, I took the "2160x3840" to be a typo. Not so.
Anyway - I've just discovered the Orientation Lock on the GoPro & shot a few 9:16 clips... then followed the same steps I'd used previously:
Import clip into a 9:16 project
Adjust video speed to 0.25
Check frame interpolation option in settings - Apply
Return to timeline - check playback
Produce to standard 9:16 profile
Next, I tested the same procedure on some 9:16 clips from different phones. No issues that I can see.
When trying to apply the Interpolation setting after I slow down GoPro footage Power Director always crashes.
In my testing PDR21 didn't show a hint of balking at the task, let alone crashing. Nor did it throw up any alerts that what I was attempting was inappropriate.
Jeff - I've been scratching around in the help file & I can't find any reference to frame interpolation not applying to 9:16 videos. Could you please give me a poke in the right direction?
I shot a few clips today on my GoPro 10, with settings that match what you've described (MediaInfo attached).
HEVC - 3840x2160 - 119.880fps - 99.6Mbps
I tried to replicate your issue, but couldn't in PDR21. The speed settings I used matched those shown in the Video Speed settings info, under Interpolation Setting info (see attached screenshot). You didn't mention what speed you adjusted your clip to. Did it match the ones shown in the screenshot? If not, that may be part of the problem.
For anyone who'd like to test, you can download this GoPro clip. Don't expect to see a 70 year old snowboarding, skating or BMX riding (!)
Have you tried Jeff's suggestion of converting the MKV with Handbrake? It's probably the only viable option.
I grabbed a sample MKV with DTS audio & PDR couldn't read the audio, as has been suggested. After transcoding with Handbrake to MP4 with AAC audio, I'm now able to edit fully in PDR.
It's actually a pretty tough question because you have indicated anything about the style you're after, the type of gathering/party or the person who's turning 50. Those two factors would influence the direction & choices you make.
Years ago, I did quite a few "big date" type presentations (video, slideshow, graphics), including a big one for my dad who was turning 80. The big gathering, including career friends & family, dictated the editing choices I made.
I could show you some bits of it, but it would be likely inappropriate for your birthday person. In fact, when I look at it now it's completely OTT & I'd be unlikely to do it that way now (even though, at the time, it went down well).
Thanks for the heads-up about Krita. I like what I've seen so far.
Krita isn't PhotoDirector & neither is trying to be the other. PhD is essentially photo management/adjustment software with some extra options. Krita is a drawing/painting app. They're different.
You'd have figured out already that you can use PhD for the purposes it suits & Krita for the purposes it serves. Easy.
Today, when opening CL Application Manger on my laptop, I get a blank sign-in screen (see attached screenshot). I've uninstalled & reinstalled but I still get the same thing Oddly, I don't get the same issue on my desktops.
Would it be possible to import more than one picture at a time and apply the same effect on all of them before exporting them all together?
Sorry. When I read that I took it as "adjustments" rather than actual "effects", listed under Photo Effects in the Guided module of PhD.
What you've found is correct. In the Adjustment part of PhD, you can mass produce by applying (copying & pasting) adjustments. The same thing doesn't apply to the Guided part, where effects & modifications can only be applied to individual photos.
As optodata said, changes you make to your photos in PhD aren't permanent until you export them (& then - only if you choose to overwrite the original file).
Adjustments you make in PhD are all undoable...
1. reset within each part of the Adjustment module
2. reset all adjustments
3, using the undo option (Ctrl+Z)
Could you please pont out the "burn marks" in the photo you attached?
