I've been a Studio user for many many years. As Pinnacle stated that versions after 12 will no longer offer support for SmartSound Quicktracks, I am looking for another NLE application, with PowerDirector beeing a strong candidate for replacing Studio.
I have invested quite a bit of money in Smartsound music CD's that I want to keep using in my "next" NLE.
I read that PowerDirector versions up to 6 support the quicktracks plugin. It's not clear to me whether or not PowerDirector version 7 still does.
Anybody here with more information on that please?
I opt for version 7 because I need the HD features it has. I work with HD footage and need the BD burning and authoring features of PD7.

yes, it works still in PD7. They call it magic music. The differenc between Studio and PowerDirector ist only, that there is no automatic for the lenght of the music by mark bevor the video-clip. There is a trial of PD7 for testing.

Vielen Dank Georg ... das war schnell.

...there is no automatic for the lenght of the music by mark bevor the video-clip.

This is not completely clear to me.
Does this mean that when I select a certain number of clips on the timeline (say 5 clips with a total lenght of 25 seconds), the Magic Music feature of PD is not able to automaticly make a sound track of 25 seconds?
Thanks again for the quick answer.
I now start downloading the trial.
