Hello everyone! I have just purchased a new high-falutin' computer and I am waiting for the install of PD 10 ultra.

Meanwhile, I have a question: Is there a way in PowerDirector 10 to remove the fisheye effect that one gets with the GoPro Hero 2 camera?

Um, if so, what is it? Custom computer: 8 processors, 16G Ram, ,C: drive 250G solid state. F: (Scratch drive) 2x 500Gb raid (0). G: (Data drive) 2Tb raid (1)
Power director Ultimate 12.0.2230.0

PD10 does not offer a way of correcting lens distortion such as fish eye. However, NewBlueFX is available as a plug-in (for a fee) for PD10. You can find it by selecting the EFFECTS tab in EDIT.

I have not tested any of these plug-ins in detail and if you browse the forum the experience with it is limited. It works quite well in other video editors however. Win 10, i7

You can try setting your camera at the narrow FOV options. ~Tom~

Thank you for pointing that out as we sometimes talk in jargon and forget that not everyone understands. In this case it is labeled FOV on the GoPro in the settings. Still, knowing what it means can help understanding how to adjust it. __________________________________
