I just recently got Powerdirector 11 and i'm having a lot of fun with it and learning all the effects etc... but sadly when I put clips into slow motion, like right now, I have a clip of me shooting a weapon in BF3, but when I put it slow motion or manually choose something like .50-.60 speed, the sound echoes and is all weird...

Before using PD 11, I used just the free Microsoft Movie Maker, and when I slow down that to .50 the sound is perfect and is exactly what I want to here...

Is this fixable or is the slow motion just shit on PD 11?

Thanks,

Sound does not work correctly in Video Speed. Slow motion is fine in PD 11, the Video works as it should.

What you can do is remove the sound from the video you want to video speed, (slow or fast).

Add the Audio to a separate track after you have adjusted the video speed.

Length of the video speed clip will be changed, therefore the audio will not fit anymore.

That seems to be the biggest shortcoming of PD12 so far. In AVS I could speed up a clip to 16X and the sound would be sped up acordingly. Made for a lot of fun clips. But in PD12, aything over speed of 1.9X oe below ,5 mutes the sound.'

Big shame! Do I really have to ???

My condolences to anyone who had friends or relatives that were affected by the recent disaster.

Did you read the suggestions given by Carl? Have you tried it? You might be able to adjust the audio with Wave Editor or, if you really need it with a trial of Gold Wave. That program allows for a lot of adjustments and has a pretty lenient trial period. .

Thank you Steve. The Cyclone went right by us without affecting us. But a lot of people weren't so lucky.

I did use the Wave Editor and it works well. But I'm a bit suprised that such a powerful and straight forward software makes you go to another application just to adjust the speed of the sound on a clip that you already adjusted the speed on. Even Windows Movie maker is better in that sense.

Other wise PD12 is an amazing software
