Quote: Hi folks,

I thought this had been fixed, ok I have updated to 2403 and I have tested dragging many videos into the timeline, saving the project, closing PD, reopening the project and bam, like the picture attached nothing is saving, all the video is 0,0,0 files. It was working fine with 2319 but now not with 2403, guys can I re-install the 2319 patch back over 2403 to restore the 2319 version?

Do not move or delete the files in a project.

Powerdirector does not save the actual file in the project. It just records pointers in the pds file to where the actual files are located.

If you have the files on removable media, copy those files to a folder on your hard drive.
Them import into Powerdirector.

NO, I am not moving them I am doing the save and reopening straight away for testing purposes, so its and issue with PD and the latest version is the worst, I wonder if anyone knows if there is a limit to how many GB od video files will be able to reopen from a saved project etc, does anyone know PDs limitations like that?

Hi Dafydd, ok screenshot of a reopened saved project only moments ago, files in library should all obviously be ticked but all the references are 0,0,0, the second screenie is my SSD recording drive, which as you can see is N:\RECORDINGS drive. I click import media files from that directory, they all go in, I save the project, close PD reopen it and this is what I have every time.

btw its a connected SSD not external Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/inspectagame

Please can you also attach a screenshot of a "before" event to show the track thumbnails appear?

This is the beta patch right and not the released patch? The issue should have been in the beta thread - I can see why it wasn't as I hadn't posted the beta information on the forum until 1:46 and you had the beta before that via the downloader.

OK, here are four images, the first is the files imported and dragged onto the timeline, the second are the files in the recording folder, 25 files and 99gb in size, the third image is the saved project. and the fourth image is the reopened project with 6 files on the timeline for the first time, the 6 files are a total of 37.7gb, now thinking there are size limitations, thanks Dafydd.

Basically you've located a beta bug. Please can you provide the MediaInfo on an avi - the info will help CL. See Part J in the guide.
All we can do on this issue is pass it along to CyberLink to deal with.

That's one "f"

Thanks inspectagame ,
I have passed everything onto CyberLink to deal with. I doubt you'd get this bug fixed until maybe the next beta release or later. You may want to consider restoring to before the beta patch - uninstall/reinstall of PDR13.

Thanks mate very much.......

** UPDATE **


I have a stupid suspicion this may be related to media filename length, I tried another group of avi's (see pic) the filenames were created by me, that was an intro I did and I renamed all the files, so I dragged them all into the timeline (28 avi's) 75GB worth, and this is actually the reopened project file.

I did save the project on the desktop and I saved it by typing in "a.pds" yes I typed the whole .pds also. I reopened the project and as you can see they work, and the only difference is that the filenames are shorter.

Just a though, but thanks guys for your help Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/inspectagame
