I used Audio Director to reduce fan noise (it did a great job), but when it went back to Power Director, I could no longer set key frames to move the video to create some movement in an interview. Also, the clips come back into Power Director as 2 separate files, video and audio and the option to connect them is grayed out, as well as the ability to edit alias. I guess you should get your clips trimmed and do whatever else you want and THEN fix the audio?

Yes they are two separate clips, that's how PD/AD interface works, a video and the audio clip. You can select both and link them but then you lose lots of editing features. When the two clips, you can select the video and define keypoints as desired, or select the audio, and define keypoints there as well.
