Hello all, I believe PD11 allows me to do this simply but I must be missing something. I have a complete wedding project with titles and added music tracks. I now have the invitation that the bride would like at the beginning, when I try to insert, all my music and titles get moved around. I thought there is a way to have everything move to the right, but mine are not behaving, any thoughts/ideas?

Hi,
Well here is my solution.
With video on track one and image to insert in leibrary
select the 'Image from library you want to insert
Drag to timeline one where you want to insert and a 'popup' with various options 'Insert here and move clips on this track right
Insert here and move all clips on this track to right
Select the one that is desired.

Plan Ahead !

James1, I think the issue is the secondary tracks not moving - music, effects, etc. I forgot how to lock those together with the video that is already there.

Normally if I have to do something like this, I would encode (render) the current project, start a new one, add the "invitation" and then the video that was rendered. That is probably the long way around but foolproof!

Well perhaps there is some help. From the help files :

Timeline Behavior

The CyberLink PowerDirector timeline has several behavior features that make it easy to manage media on the timeline.

On the timeline you can:
· right-click on select media in the timeline and select Group Objects. Doing this allows you to move all the selected media clips as a group. Select Ungroup Objects to once again allow for individual media clip movement.

Note: you cannot include transitions in grouped objects.

You should be able to group what you can, move them to the right and then add the invitation and then move them back to where you want them.

Note: I have not tried doing it that way.

Would that be of help?

Almost, I guess I would lose my transitions, but I will still try it as I only have a few. Thank you for finding that and posting!

You are welcome ! As I said, it may be of partial help. and should be faster than encoding and then re-encoding. .

This workaround may help you.

1. Multi-split the clip and all tracks below where you want the invitation to be inserted.

2. Click and hold your mouse button down and drag a bounding box around all of the tracks to the right of the split, highlighting them.

3. Move the highlighted sections to the right leaving a gap big enough for the invitation.

4. Drag the invitation from the media room to the time line and adjust the length to the desired length.

5. Re-highlight all the sections to the right of the invitation and drag back to join the invitation.

It takes longer to describe than actually do. This is what I do when I want to insert something after my project is finished.
