Hello -- some basic pointer would be appreciated. I am new to powerdirector. I just ripped a video and now want to edit it, for the
most part just cut out the commercials (the video is from the tv)

I put the ripped video in the "editor" but I am not sure how to "mark" were the commercials start and end and then cut / remove that part of the video out.

A pointer to the help were this is noted would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Frank

Hi Frank

Drag your video clip into the timeline.

Move the Scrubber along until you find the commercials and use the Split button. Move Scrubber along to end of commercials and use the Split button again and press Delete. Select Delete and select the Remove and Move All Timeline Clips......

Here's a tutorial from the team at PDtoots. They're using PD8 but the basics are the same

Happy editing

Happing editing

Best Regards
