Jim,
Your question inspired me to create a tutorial about this. I'm causing a still image to appear in the tutorial when I zoom in on a city, but you could use a video in it's place. I should have the video on YouTube within 30 minutes. I'll send you a link when it's uploaded.

Here is a tutorial about zooming in (or out) on a picture.
Once you get to the place where you want to have the othe image on the screen, you can make it pop up, or use other motion options.
Let me know if you have other questions.

Toney,
I was able to follow your procedure and set an ease-in key frame on the position scale when I set a keyframe at the beginning and the end of the clip and made sure the time indicator was at the second keyframe at the end of the clip before attempting to use the ease-in function. It might be that your timeline marker was on the initial key frame? Just a guess.

Is the sound in your media room (F3 key)?
Once you have the effect in your library you can drag it to any audio track and position it where you want it in the timeline of your project.

PowerDirector can handle up to 99 tracks. If you are running out of vertical space you can shrink the height of any or all of the tracks on your timeline by moving the mouse between the borders of the tracks on the left and dragging up when you see the double-headed arrow. You should be able to get a display like the one in your post with no problem.

Sounds like you are growing exponentially in your understanding of PowerDirector. Thanks for the word on the "walk by" transition as well.

Glad you've been helped. If you encounter any issues not in the tutorials, let me know.
Here is a link to a clilckable PDF listing of the current ones for PowerDirector.

Here is a short tutorial on transitions that shows the difference between the crossfade and the overlap, as well as other elements.

Here iw what you do.
- Click on the gear at the top of the screen. This takes you to the settings screen
- Then click on the file section on the left.
- You should see an "Export Folder" option under your Default Locations section.
- Set this to the drive and file location you want.
- Then click on OK at the bottom
When you load files into your batch produce tool, they will default to export in this directory.

If I understand you correctly, the end product is B&W.This tutorial might help. As mentioned, you do this last.
Here is a listing of other tutorials.

There are several approaches.
One approach is group the components in a section (tutorial here) . When you group elements you cannot move or edit any of them individually--only collectively. You have to ungroup them to edit any of the components. Grouping in a sense will lock down elements in your timeline that are stacked vertically. You can also lock individual tracks so that they cannot be modified.
I'm eager to see what other advice you receive.

Here is a list of YouTube tutorials that include tips on working with text and animation. If you don't see what you need let me know.

Barry,
I have the same thoughts as you. It could be much more full-featured.
Here is a tutorial that puts animation at the beginning and end of the collage. It's rough, but works.

If you have PowerDirector Ultimate you have an older copy of Titler Pro bundled in your titles area.
Here are about 3 dozen tutorials on using that tool if you have it.
Here is a link to another group of title tutorials using the Title Designer in Power Director.
Hope you find some of these YouTube tutorials useful.

Thanks to this discussion I was able to develop a tutorial that shows this masking technique with the PiP designer. It also shows how to create the transparent 'trail' for users of Photoshop Elements. I'm eager to see what else I can learn about Paint Designer.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look at the vid and see if I can figure out how it works better.

Here are several tutorials that deal with unmasking a line on a map.
They may contain at least part of a solution to your issue.

Alan,
I don't know if this helps or not, but you can adjust the X offset and Y offset values in the 3D Face style settings. That seems to make some of the roation control move off center. (Or it may be playing tricks on my eyes.)
