Hey can anyone help. I have watched some of the tutorials on how to pan and zoom. And people are clicking on a video clip, then going to "tools" and then "pan and zoom"

However on my powerdirector 365, the "Tools" drop down is missing. All I have is a "marker" icon, a scissors icon, Edit, Keyframes, and a hamburger menu. There are no tools.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I found Tools in 'Edit' but they are not nearly as workable as previous versions. Crop, for example, is a disaster . . . you can only crop the beginning frame of a clip; you can no longer navigate the clip to find out where the best crop is.

It's mind blowing when software makers turn their product into something worse when they build new versions. Very disappointing.

Place the scrubber anywhere you want and click on the Add Keyframe button, then resize the frame as desired.



That's how it's worked since at least PD13, so I'm not sure what you were expecting

It would be super helpful if Cyberlink made the relavent change to their help page:

Customer Support - How do I change the speed of a video or audio clip in CyberLink PowerDirector 10? Can I shorten or extend the length of a media clip by dragging it? | CyberLink
