Is PowerDirector 13 compatible with New Blue Titler vers 4.0?

Hello. I have just started using the New Blue Titler 1.0 that came with the PD 13 Ultimate Edition. I'm kind of getting used to it but it is very unpolished and is a legacy product. On NewBlue's web site their vers 4.0 compatibility list does not include PowerDirector 13 among their list of compatible Video Editor hosts.

Does anyone know if that is simply an ommission on NewBlue's part, and/or has anyone successfully used New Blue Titler Pro 4.0 with PD13?

Thanks. Editing Computer: Intel I7-3770K 3.50GHz, RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1866MHz

Here's what I've learned from elsewhere since my original post. NewBlue Titler Pro 4.0 does not integrate with PD13 at all. But you can run it as a standalone application, and import its resulting video output into PD13, or so the New Blue's web site says. However, if you want to export a video title with transparency so you can overlay it on top of your PD13 background, for example, it will only produce a .MOV file format, which is compressed. I tried this on a small test, just a piece of scrolling text and PD13 couldn't import the .MOV file. PD13 simply wouldn't open it.

Has anyone successfully tried this and does anyone know why PD13 can't open a .mov file?

Of course ideally, Cyberlink would upgrade their API's and/or interfaces to allow NewBlue Titler Pro 4.0 to integrate directly into PD13 just as they already do for NewBlue Titler 1.0.

As it is, we we're stuck with having to import an already compressed .mov file, rather than an uncompressed .AVI file, but that is NB's fault for not allowing an .avi export, not Cyberlink's.

I'll raise a feature request ticket to Cyberlink to ask for such integration support.

I absolutely LOVE Titler 1, yes, a bit rough around the edges, but the results are amazing.
In order for Cyberlink to integrate with independent plug-ins, a lot of work needs to be done, not just in the APIs, but the business-end of it, too.
As for MOV files from a Titler export, could you attach a short sample here? MOV is usually not an issue with PD, so it SHOULD import. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.

I retried several times and eventually got NB Titler 4 to produce a .mov file that PD13 could import. Thanks. Editing Computer: Intel I7-3770K 3.50GHz, RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1866MHz

How? What did you do to get it to work? .

Hi David

Did you have to purchase NB4, or is there a free trial somewhere? Panny TM10, GH2, GH4,

I am using the free trial version. You can get it here :https://www.newbluefx.com/titling

Click on the Free Trial link, then fill in your name and email adddress and they'll send you a link to download it from. The free trial version puts a horrible watermark and big X right across your compleetd video so it's unusable for a finished product but serves to show what it can do.
