I have been using Powerdirector everyday for years.
I edit everyday, all day, large videos, thousands of clips.
What I really do not need, is for menus that I have been using for years and years to just suddenly disappear with the latest update.
It is so annoying, it happens everytime and I have to relearn.
Meanwhile all sorts of usless crap is added like stickers and AI that does nothing useful.
The time to move on is rapidly approaching

This is a user-to-user forum and nobody here has any say over what the developers do or don't do with the app. I suggest you use Rate Us & Provide Suggestions from PD's File menu to share your feedback

Oh no this is me today after foolishly updating

Is there a quicker way to get to Crop/Zoom/Pan? I use it all the time and now I have to launch the'Edit' module and scroll down to the bottom every flippin time?? Prefer to keep this panel small and the time line taking up more screen space so double annoying

Yes, tap the image, then Alt + 2 keys together.

Alt + 2 opens “Pan & Zoom” function for images, not the specified “Crop/Zoom/Pan” as desired. The “Crop/Zoom/Pan” for video has no hotkey available and must be accessed through the menu. A very poor UX improvement, maybe let CL know at File > Rate Us & Provide Suggestions.
