Just downloaded the trial version of Powerdirector 6 mainly due to the reviews the software got and the price is good. I have installed it and managed to get some movie footage off my new Panasonic VDR-D310 DVD Camcorder and Powerdirector managed to read the disk (DVD-RAM 60min) and load up the movie data. But right now I'm stumped!
I had a good extensive look at the Users Guide which does not seem to refer to the trial software at all! I realise that some of the functions will be disabled but it seems that pretty much everything is! And I have no idea where to start!
I have two or three pieces of video captured on two 3" DVD-RAM disks that I'd like to edit together (my wife took some and I took some) but I have no idea where to start. I have only managed to get Powerdirector to read the disk and "capture" the video data from the DVD but that is it, I'm afraid.
I have done a search on the forum for anything on tutorials but nothing comes up in the search function. Right now, good as it seems, I have removed Powerdirector because without some idea of where to begin, it is effectively useless to me....
Can anyone point me to a decent tutorial? I'm aware of what this software can do, as do other packages, but despite being computer literate (I have four), right now I'm a complete newbie when it comes to this sort of project.
If I can get going with this by way of a tutorial or a decent book, then I'll buy the software and use it but right now, I see little support for totally new users.
Here's hoping some one can prove me wrong!
cheers,
Lee
