I have the trial version of PowerDirector 11 Ultra. I want to produce in 1280x720 MOV format, but this option does not appear in the drop down. Does the non-trial version have this ability? I'd rather not have to convert with 3rd party software. This is the required format and resolution for the videos we are working with. Thanks!

There is a method for creating that profile by altering the .ini file in the program's folder, a needless workaround, but we all do it for certain special profiles we want. It's rather simple, click Produce>Mov>+new profile.
Edit your new profile as close to the bitrates and other you want.
Close PD. In PD11 64 bit, the profile ini address is...
C:\Users\?????\AppData\Roaming\CyberLink\PowerDirector\11.0
The very last entry in the ini is your latest profile addition, you can modify the video size manually, and other parameters, too.
Like I said, a needless workaround. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

There is something you may need to do for 1280x720 to show up correctly.

In PowerDirector, select 1920x1080 for your custom MOV preset. Then in the Profile.ini file, change the 1920 to 1280, and change the 1080 to 0720. Note the zero before the 720. You need to take up 4 places. In fact, you probably need to keep the same number of characters for other parameters as well. For example, for a framerate of 59.94, I used 59.939999. That takes up the same number of characters as 29.969999. Gateway DX4380, AMD A8-5500 Quad Core 3.2GHz with ATI Radeon HD 7560D; 16GB RAM; 1 TB SATA 7200 RPM; Windows 8 Pro 64-bit; PDR11, PDVD12.

I have never added the "0" before 720, but it works. Either way, we've got the "Fiend" up and running. Good. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
