I am new to Powerdirector and, silly me, started with 40
GB of avchd (Canon hf100) from Africa safaris and I now have 2 1/2 hours of video selected (for our own use only) with more to go. Today, I discovered your forum and how helpful it is -- thank you. But I gather that I will not get away with even editing such large files (it is getting slower and slower), much less outputing them. Is there a way to split up the file I already have (40+ hours of editing) or do I need to start over?

Hi Peter,

Are your video scenes captured in a segmented multiple file style? I'm looking at your Camera Spec and as it records to SDHC I presume the scenes (each time you click, pause/record are seperate files. If I'm correct, it should be easy to separate, identify and reduce a project size.

Thanks for the prompt response. Yes, they are all in short clips but I have put them all in the time line in the same file and don't see a way to break them apart unless I start over with the base material and make new time lines in separate files.
