I've edited my first video clip, taking out all the garbage and I now want to save it over the original clip or else with a new name. I've been unable to find the option that will let me do this. All I've found is being able to save it in a project which I've also done, but I want to save the actual video clip.

tadams61,

Welcome to the forum.

Power Director does not actually change your source files.

If you want to save a copy of the clip you edited, you will have to go into the Produce module and produce the file. Choose a profile that matches your source clip. You will have to give it a new name because the original file is in use.

If you need more assistance, just ask.

Thanks Hal,
I should have thought of that "solution" myself. It worked great! I'm so used to "saving" stuff I figured it had to be there somewhere.

Thanks again, Tom

This is great, but it would be even better if PD9 would keep some sort of media archive, that would store clips preprocessed in various ways.

I could then split my original media, remove video noise, adjust color and light in various ways, and store these processed clips for future use in all my forthcoming projects.

I could do this by producing new files, but that would waste storage space. Keeping the adjustments virtual would be better.
