It is as I stated in the very first response. 4:2:2 from that G9 is not supported in PD be it 1920x1080 or 4K. Only 4:2:0 is supported for PD import.
Jeff
Just found out that Corel VideoStudio 19 plays this video clip with no problem.
Come on Cyberlink! I have used your PowerDirector software for years and it is much easier to use than Corel VideoStudio.

I have G9 and the 10 bit 4 2 2 files will not import into power director
only if they were pro res, not mov or mp4
And those files will not play on many computer softwares as well
Does the G9 do pro res (whatever that is)?
Regardless the next obvious question is 1. Why does the G9 have video specs (in FHD) that can't be handled by PowerDirector? (Well PD14 anyway) (Never mind about 4K)
And 2. Which software does handle thse specs available on the G9?
And 3. I don't really want to convert the video just to match PowerDirector's lower specs (whatever they might be)
Thanks again,
Phil.

That info doesn't show the bit size or color depth. Drag and drop the clip on this page then save the text file with the MediaInfo details and attach it to your next post.
Dragged the clip and saved the text file but no way can paste here. Simply won't let me.
However, Bit depth is 10 bits and Chroma sampling is 4:2:2 if that is any help.

You probably need to be a little more specific on what your video file consists of. There are probably 14+ different record options (8bit, 10bit, 4K, FHD, 4:2:2, 4:2:0), but more than likely any 8-bit (4:2:0) files can probably be imported into PD ok, none of the 10 bit, (4:2:2) files will import correctly, you will need to convert those.
Jeff
Thanks Jeff, all I can supply are the details on the .MOV Properties window as follows
.MOV
1920x1080
29.97fps
Data Rate 99648kbps
Total Bit Rate 101181kbps
1.87GB
H.264AVC
MP4
I got some of that from the PD14 screen

I just purchased a Neewer Motorized slider to take panorama videos and began by testing it out of course.
I was able to play back all the videos on my Panasonic G9 but when I connected the camera to the PC the videos would not play.
So I decided to transfer the videos to my PC but they still would not play on either Films and TV or Windows Media Player.
So I decided to load them on PowerDirector 14 but they still would not play although somehow or other I managed to get them to play but only the audio.
Any ideas please as I have never had this problem before?
Thanks,
Phil.

Sorry, I paraphrased the "safe for kids" part. It's actually called "Made for kids" and here are the details.
From the Produce page, instead of using the Online tab you'll want to select Standard 2D and then choose the file format and other settings. These are normally based on your source clips, so if for example your timeline has 4K 25p AVC clips you'd want to match that on the Profile type section to get the highest quality:
Once it's produced it will be in the location specified in the Output folder setting (at the bottom of the page, under the left side of the preview window).
Then you simply need to click on the Create button in your browser once you're logged in to your YT account and choose Upload videos:
That's where you'll fill in all relevent details. You also have more options that uploading directly from PD gives you, such as the ability to have an unlisted video - where anybody with the link can view it but it can't be found by searching (Public) and isn't limited to only specific people you choose (Private).
Thanks for that and now I remember that that is how I did it the last time.
I made the video and then uploaded to YouTube and Facebook.
Cheers,
Phil.

There is now a requirement that each uploaded video is either "safe for kids" or not, and that must be declared when uploading. You didn't mention the version number of PD14, so you may want to check for an update (use this page) to make sure you have the latest version which might help when producing straight to YouTube.
In my opinion, it's better to produce locally to your hard drive and then simply upload directly to your YouTube account using your preferred browser.
This is the PD version - 14.0.427.0 (pity you can't copy and paste the number)
I can't see anything about "safe for kids" requirement. However I imagine a video of sunsets is safe for kids.
Lastly though I seem to remember something about producing to my hard drive and then uploading from there the last time I did it (about a year ago so I have forgetten how to do that in any case). So could you please help me with that?
Thanks again.

I have 6 videos already uploaded on my YouTube Account the last one of which was probably about a year ago.
So this time I got to the stage where I have to get permission from Cyberlink PowerDirector to upload it and everything stops!
Google seems to have got involved.
It says you need to use a different browser.
How would I know what browser I am using?
I have no idea that a browser was being involved.
How can I choose a different browser?
Thanks.

Sorry but I still can't upload so will try uploading from outside Cyberlink.

It's probably better to look up unfamiliar terms and read more about policy changes by searching on Google rather than waiting/hoping that other people will answer those kinds of questions here on the forum.
In any event, API means Application Programming Interface, which is how programs like PD "talk" with websites like YouTube.
YT changed their API a few weeks ago, which meant that every single program that used it had to change the interface on their end to match. In addition, the developers actually had to submit their proposed changes to Google (which owns YT) for approval before their programs were allowed to connect to the new API, which is why it took so long.
There were several threads on the forum during this time that clearly explained the alternate (and in my opinion, far superior) method of simply producing the video to your hard drive and then manually uploading it to YT. Please see this post for specific steps, and this thread for understanding the limitations in using PD's built-in uploader.
I read your post yesterday and got a message when I tried PD14 about not being able to connect with the YT server (which is a different issue than what's being discussed here), and I tried again just now and everything is working, so you should be able to use PD14 and directly upload to YT as you did several months ago.
You may have to re-register like this:
Sorry, but I cannot post the video as it stops at my Password, saying the Script is not working.

no, it's called Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and monetizing YouTube videos if one can.
BarrytheCrab, Sonic67 etc had lengthy discussions about PD users here in this forum about PD EULA in the past... WMV container is the only one one can monetize through YouTube using PD.
then the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act was violated by the Google and paid the price of $170,000,000.00.
now the Google(YouTube) is saying to all content creators to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. if not Google is warning everyone the individuals will pay the fines($10,000.00 per each violation) after September 2019. Google will not pay and so is the CyberLink for one's ignorance.
so BLUF is create in WMV container and upload through your YouTube account and answer if the videos are made for kids or not.
when the crap hits the fan don't blame anybody including CyberLink. all i can say is i(Tomasc, too) told you so.
have a wonderful day.
happy happy joy joy

How can, "all content creators comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act"?
I have PD14 and cannot upload a video to YT.
However, I uploaded 2 videos 3 and 4 months ago with no problem.
I have no intention of monetising it.
What am I supposed to do?
What does "BLUF" mean?
Thanks.

Cyberlink are not "scam artists".
Youtube frequently changes it's access code API, so every time that is done, Cyberlink has to catch up.
Aside from that I have always considered the in-house Youtube uploader to sacrifice quality for convenience.
Rendering your file using the Youtube-PD system forced the file to be WMV, heavily compressed, with few if any options to tweak the profile without using a 3rd party program to create a tweaked/new profile.
What does API mean please?

how are ya, phil?
well, here's short explanation. it's all about Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. read PDR365 and Youtube optodata has good examples and You tube deliberately blocking all PD users? .
for now, if it doesn't work for you then you must upload manually to your account and answer the questions asking to label the videos if the contents are made for kids.
happy happy joy joy

'garbage in garbage out'
Thanks guys but I am a simple man and the last videos I uploaded were just 3 and 4 months ago. Everything went ok then.
I have no idea at all what the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act has to do with my video of sunsets with a music backing track.
The content isn't made for kids particularly but anyone might want to watch it. I cannot start to comprehend how my artistic video can have any bad effect on any children. I am lost for words.

This issue did not appear today. It may be okay to do online upload to YouTube again if it worked in your PD version recently.
I have PD14 and have 2 YouTube Channels. How and when can I choose which Channel to upload to?
Today I was unable to upload a 4 minute video to YouTube.
I read most of the comments above but not sure if my problem is the same. Some of the suggestions are very difficult to contemplate.
When I get to the "Authorization from Cyberlink" part I can't get past that.
It wants me to sign in with my Google Account but when I try that it just keeps saying "Script Error" in a box.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on please?

Hi Teddy,
after PD17 is released a new Forum room for it will be created and that will probably include a thread for members to suggest features for PD18.
Hi Barry, is that forum for suggestions open now please? If so, where can I find it please?

Whoops! Neglected to read you opening statement (& signature).
Try the one attached, made in PDR14.
Cheers - Tony
Thanks Tony, yes that works for me!
The thing about the movement of the FlipII transition is that it transforms the full-screen video onto the smaller rectange as it flips across the screen against a black background and then takes up the whole screen again.
You can use it as a transition between two clips or just as a quite spectacular addition to a clip. ie the video just continues on the spinning/flipping rectangle and then fills the screen with that same clip.
Either way the effect of the movement is seen as a continuation of the video from left to right as it were.
Thanks again,
Phil.

G'day Phil -
I haven't checked out the suggestions Barry made about NBFX, but I do have a couple of thoughts...
The simplest thing would be to use a 3D-Like title template, where you just type one character to make a letter, then use an image as the texture. That's the drawback - it only works for image - not video.
For the attached packed project example, I typed Alt+220 (with Num Lock on) to make the rectangle. In each case I set the extrusion value to 1, so it's not chunky like the FlipII transition.
If it had to be a video, rather than an image, it could be keyframed using free-form to get that spinning-off-into-the-distance effect... but it'd take a bit of work!
Cheers - Tony
Thanks Tony, but after downloading it it would not play saying it was made on a newer version than I have.
Phil.

The FlipII transition in PD17 appears to be the same as PD14 with no way to modify its thickness. I did not see any other standard similar flip transitions that one could modify the brick effect.
Jeff
Thanks for that Jeff.
Here is the Superman clip showing the thin rectangle flipping through space.
Go to the last 30 seconds or so to see the effect.
Hollywood could do this in 1978.
Superman movie 1973

I have PD14 and am seriously thinking about upgrading to PD17 albeit via 365.
In PD14 the FlipII transition flips and spins around and is a very good tool to use IMHO.
But there is one drawback - it is thick like a brick paver and therefore looks quite clumsy and bulky.
I have seen other software in the past do it much better with an extremely thin Flip transition like what was used at the beginning of the Superman movie where the 3 criminals were sent into outer space on this very thin 'flipping' rectangle.
Does anyone know if this very thin rectangular Flip transition is now available in PD17 please?
