What was the ratio of the templates you downloaded?

4:3 templates do not show in a 16:9 project.
Same is true 16:9 does not show in a 4:3 project.

So first check your project ratio.

You can also refresh your view of the current templates. Look for the button in the upper left corner of the window. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Carl,
I am in the right Aspect Ratio, but i can not find a refresh button.

NOTE: This is happening with All templates, PIP, tittle etc. But For dvd menus one will show up but when i open up another it replaces the first one.

Even after clicking UBLOCK in properties.

Do a search of the forum.
I know that I saw a post that spoke of the refresh button for downloaded templates.

I don't have PD9 installed, so I can't look.

I have PD8, but I have not done any Director zone downloads lately. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Hi Clancy -

This is happening with EVERY download??? Do you get any message saying that it was installed? or an invalid template message?

Can you post the links for a couple you've tried? We can test here.

Hi Tony,
Yes this is happening with every download even though it says:


Tailored to the type of template.

Here are some links:

http://directorzone.cyberlink.com/detail/4776491 - this effect showed up
http://directorzone.cyberlink.com/detail/4388612 - this one didnt

Clancy -

There have been many reports of this same thing, and there's no single cure!

I just downloaded the two effects you linked, & they both showed up in the appropriate libraries in a 4:3 project.

Are you using the procedure shown here? http://directorzone.cyberlink.com/posts/list/1781.page#9488

A couple of things to try:
1. Try downloading the effects from within PD, by clicking on the Download link in the top left corner
2. Try downloading - save file - double click (a) with PD running (b) with PD shut down

Sometimes, effects don't show up till after PD is restarted.

Good luck -

Tony

Hi Clancy,

Like Tony, I did a test, and tried to download / install both…
(#1) http://directorzone.cyberlink.com/detail/4776491
(#2) http://directorzone.cyberlink.com/detail/4388612

They both worked fine on my end.
(#1) - Is a Title at a 4:3 AR.
(#2) - Is a Particle at a 4:3 AR.

I’m sure you're not, but sometimes it’s the simplest things that hang us up, so I’ll ask. You’re not looking for (#2) in your Titles Room are you?

Did you check the downloaded section?

(Below Edit tab), there is a drop down (click on "All contents" and select "downloaded")

No im looking in the right place.

But i will try to use the download from DZ icon in PD.

It seems as though i can get 1 to show before i start PD but after i do none show up.

When i click on the Download from DZ button in PD it opens fine but when i try to drag or right click and add an effect to the timeline it shows this: And never does anything.
