I've got a real humdinger of a problem with Multi-Cam Designer and maybe someone can help me figure this out. I've to two clips out of a total of 70 or so that were shot with two different cameras. I loaded the two clips onto my Dell Latitude E6510 laptop for editing in Multi-Cam Designer. I noticed right away that after running MCD, the clips were not only out of sync, but were moving in slow motion as well with the video trailing the audio. The two clips are 2.5 GB and 3.7 GB. So I'm thinking, maybe the files were too large for my laptop (plenty of HD space and 8 GB of Ram). However, if I dropped the clips into the timeline on two separate tracks, they played perfectly.
Next, I loaded the files onto my desktop Dell Studio XPS i7 on Win 7 Pro which has 24 GB of Ram and encountered the same problem with MCD. Again, the files played fine in the timeline without the errors. I checked aspect ratios to make sure everything was set properly and it was.
Next, I loaded both files into Premiere Pro CS6 on my Dell XPS and they not only played correctly but also synced up properly. I also ran them through Plural Eyes just to make sure PP was not a fluke. PE synced everything up nicely so I just dumped those files back into PP and finished my editing project in PP.
I left PP because of Adobe's stupid perpetual twist your arm until you cry Uncle licensing strategy. I was hoping Power Director would be a great asset but as stands now, my purchase of Director Suite 5 may have been a mistake. Does anyone have any idea on why this problem may be happening and if there is a fix?
A lot of my PP buddies are laughing at me

Thank you very much Tony. I was aware of the "Insert Project" option so I'll have to get used to the workflow.

I'm coming to PowerDirector 15 from Premiere Pro CS6 and can't seem to find a way to open or add a sequence to and existing project. Is this possible? I tried creating a "New Workspace" but did not see where I could locate the previous timeline/sequence I was working on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

More than likely you have used a special format feature, most likely a tab since working with columns. Change the tab to a series of spaces in MS Word or the like. Also remember if you really want to right align the second column with spaces one must use a proper font of uniform width for that.
Another option might be to use 2 text boxes in PD, one for each column.

Thanks a million. I went back to test and using the space bar to put in spaces instead of using the tab button was the problem. What a simple fix.

I am creating credits that will scroll at the end of my movie. I create a two column list in MS Word or Windows Note Pad. When I copy the text and paste it into the title designer for credits, there are two white square boxes between the two columns. I can manually go in and remove the boxes and realign the right column but that is a pain when you have a credit that has a large number of lines. Any ideas on what is causing that?

Thank you very much for your tip(s). I will check out the PDToots clip. I would have never thought of the snapshot option. Great idea.
Best,

This exactly what I need to do regarding financial data in a bar chart. However, the suggestion that 18tillidie made just before your post might also work. The only problem I see doing in in PPT and saving it as a WMV file takes away a little of the flexibility in lining up any narration there is with the movement of the chart sections. I've always found it easier to edit the audio/narration to line up with the movement of the chart than the other way around. In my case, the narration will be recorded in Pro Tools and dropped into PD as an MP3 file. Anyway, I give both suggestions a shot. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your advice. I use this all the time in Premiere Pro where a narrator may be speaking and the photo slowly is zoomed in or out and crawls to a sloooooowwwww stop. I'l try your suggestions and let you know the outcome.

Ok, I'm attempting to do what is known as the Ken Burns effect on a few photos in my video. It simple to get it started by using the Zoom In fx. However, the problem that I'm having is getting the zoom to slow down or crawl to a stop instead of abruptly stopping with a very, very noticeable jerk. Any ideas on how to slow down the zoom ending to a crawl?

[list]Does anyone know if it is possible to add animation to Charts and Graphs to PD13 or create an animated chart or graph in any of Cyberlink's companion programs. I'm coming to PD13 from Adobe CS 5.5 in particular Premiere Pro and After Effects. With those programs I could create and animate charts and graphs fairly easy. I am assuming at a minimum, I could create a chart or graph in say PowerPoint and import it into PD13 as a static entity. However, I'm working on a business presentation where the video clips to be included are too complicated for PP so if I can find a way to animate things in PD13, it would solve a major problem. Any ideas?
