Hi,

I would apppreciate haelp to handle:

a) Regarding PowerDirector "fast-forward" playback, if I click on "fastforward" the default speed is 2x. Is there any way to set
other speed, as for instance 1.5x?

b) When fast-forward is working, the sound is mute. Is there any way to fast-forward the video keeping the sound, even the sound would be accelerate presenting funny voices? Actually, I use (in Sony Vegas) the playback control to speed up my editing process, mainly in the beggning. And to listening to the content (even acelerated or slowed) is quite important as well.

c) I couldn't see how to playback the video slower (just fasteforward). Is this feature available? I don't want to change the clip speed itself. All operations I am referring to (a,b,c) is regarding only the playback speed.

Many thanks,

Cadu

Click the fast-Forward multiple times for increase in fast speed, 2x, 4x, 8x and 16x.

Never sound in fast forward in PD.

Select the video on the timeline > Power Tools >check Video Speed. You can slow down or speed up the video clip. You can do frame by frame in the preview, which is not what you want. It you use video speed, you can see the playback without producing the clip. Sound works if the speed is 0.5X or less or less than fast 2.0x, outside that range sound is muted.

To make the speed change permanent, you Produce the clip or project. If you do not want to apply the effect, Power Tools > uncheck Video Speed.

When I import a file into Power Director 14 the clip plays slow which is a pain. Waiting for an answer from tech support. I have to use speed adjust set at 1.5 in order to get near the actual audio pitch.

Delahenty, this is an old thread and this forum is for old versions of Power Director. You would be better off starting a new thread about this in the Power Director 14 forum. Regards,
