Carried out some short tests - if anyone can replicate with build 1829 would be useful to know if just me / my setup or if it is the programme!
Test 1
5 Cherry.jpg in the timeline
Flower jpg & Lily jpg in PIP track 1
Use CLPV to stretch any of the Cherry.jpg to 16.9
Cherry.jpg appears on Flower & Lily (both in the PIP track and on the preview screen)
Flower & Lily both still show original file name though image is Cherry
Test 2
5 Cherry.jpg in the timeline
Open all 6 PIP tracks
Introduce Flower; Lily; Tulip; Windmill; Flower; Lily (one in each PIP track)
Use CLPV to stretch any of the Cherry.jpg to 16.9
Cherry.jpg appears on Flower; Lily; Tulip; Windmill; Flower; Lily
(both in the PIP track and on the preview screen)
Test 3
Introduce Aquariam.mpg into the timeline
Use CLPV to stretch Aquariam.mpg to 16.9
No effect on items in PIP track
Test 4
Introduce Aquariam.mpg into PIP track 1
Flower & Lily in PIP 2 & 3
Use CLPV to stretch any of the Cherry.jpg to 16.9
Aquariam.mpg becomes Cherry.jpg
File name still retained
In tests 1, 2 & 3; when saved and restarted PD7; images had all corrected themselves
In test 4; when saved and restarted; only the Aquariam.mpg had corrected itself; the jpgs now stayed as cherries (though still retain their original file names)
Test 5
5 Cherry.jpg in the timeline
Aquariam.mpg in full in PIP 1
Flower.jpg in PIP 2
Tulip.jpg in PIP 3 then replaced by Aquariam.mpg so duration is that of the jpg, not the full mpg.
Use CLPV to stretch any of the Cherry.jpg to 16.9
All PIP tracks become Cherry
Save & restart
All PIP tracks have corrected themselves
Test 6
As above set up
Use CLPV to stretch any of the Cherry.jpg to 16.9 BUT APPLY TO ALL IMAGES
No change to PIP tracks - all looks like retained OK
But when preview images; though timeline is correct; the cherry is displayed (though with the music from Aquariam.mpg)
Even when saved and restarted
REINSTALLED POWER DIRECTOR
Repeated Test 1 - as previous
Repeated Test 4 - as previous BUT when saved & restarted had reverted to correct image
Repeated Test 6 - all worked OK & when saved & restarted had retained the correct image
It would appear that problem is with individual changes to individual images; if applied to all it works as designed to.
Appears that if you save and restart PD everything will be corrected; as the system is still looking for the correct file names
Also some oddities which don't fit any pattern!
