For reference, I just tagged five faces and it took 1:45 not counting the time I was clicking - that's timing from the point where I click the person's name to the point the tag is saved and I'm allowed to click another name. That's an average of about 21 seconds to apply one face tag to one photo for one person. I feel like that's a lot.
I haven't timed one of the operations where I uncheck one face out of a group of faces and try to apply that.
Thanks for this timing. The remark: "it takes so long" otherwise is often more a feeling or an impression. Unchecking faces before tagging takes a bit longer with me than accepting all in one go. It takes me a little less overall with an average of about 19 seconds. Still fairly long though.
I have stopped at 15K photos and about 70 people as the update time is rapidly increeasing.
Still hope that I either do something wrong, or that there is a trick or setting that helps making the face tagging and retrieval really useful. Because it is not.

Maybe this topic has been discussed before (I could not find it), I am trying to build a face index of all my photos. So far I have imported about 10.000 photos. When tagging faces to names with still 9000 to go, I see that Photodirector takes a lot of time after startup, getting in not responding mode for >2 mins before I can do anything. Also when adding more face tags it take more and more time to process that.
Is this common for many photos?
Is there a bypass/solution to the slow start problem
Is there a solution or an ideal approach taging many faces while the program remains fast.
Switching to another (empty) project will get the fast start back again, but how can I tag the faces of my photo collection with many 100K photos with some speed?
Thanks

So I have the following questions:
what IS then a good Laptop for Video Editing, for PD apparently not one with any let alone multiple GPUs? Assuming that I want to flexibility to select my work spot to do the editing.
I see that the recent versions of Vegas and Elements make use of my NVIDIA GPU, so why can't PowerDirector and ColorDirector do that too?
Thanks

Maybe use Particle Fly Fog instead. It can be moved to a video track and face in and out can be used?

Thanks Tony
I have tried the same, and dont appear to be able to reproduce it. I will try some more. But if it is gone I am happy. (And otherwise I will return with an example!) Thanks Again

When zooming, or panning across the video screen or a picture i get a video that shocks from one spot to the other rather than a fluent movement. The results were OK in PD 14, not in PD15. Any suggestions? Thanks

The MTS file loads and processes fine in PD13 and PD14

Not at the end, when all should have been filled equally?

Indeed, any variation. In all cases it takes some time to scrop the originals such that it looks still consistent. Unless of course the pictures are all made by the same camare, same position and distance, which in your situation may very well be the case. Otherwise you end up with small and larger heads etc.

884 photos i guess? What I do in some of these situations is, turn the photos ionto a slide show, PD can do that for you, nice transitions etc.
Save that as a video file, recommend higher quality.
Import that viodeo file and cut it into 4 equal length pieces and put each of those pieces in a separate track and scale each track down to 1/4 of the screen placing each video in one of the four corners.
It is best if you either take great care to position each video very accurately, or put a mask above it to hide any border incorrectnes.
The resulting video shows all people next to each other in 1/4 of the otherwise required time, you may even consider to make the display length per photo a bit longer. You will see that each photo is still long enough on the screen to be watched in its own right.
