If only I had some of those files to support that type of video. Also, I truly have not ben immersed in the older formats in many many years so my experience would not be current.


Hi, Maliek!

I do have a VHS recorder hooked up to my computer via capture card and, of late have been doing quite a bit of "rescue" work for a friend who has tapes of her family, going back to the turn of the century(20th to 21st, that is). A little touching up here and there and these old VHS tapes scrub up quite okay on DVD! CLPV proves useful here as well, bringing these old 4:3 aspect ratio clips out to 16:9 without making the people in the clips look like they've been "raiding the refridgerator"(ha-ha) really brings these old cips "up-to-date", as it were.

Cheers!

Neil.




I don't need anyone to change my aspect ratio to make it look like I've been raiding the fridge. LOL! Subscribe to PowerDirector University on YouTube.

The Tutorial was a great review of Copy and Pasting in PD14. A fresh view of how to copy assets in several tracks at once is great here.

Hi, Maliek!

I've had my own routine for "voice-overs" or "narration". I tend to complete my editing to a stage where I have all my clips in place, all transitions, titles, music(not always used), opening and closing visual effects and any captions. I render this once, then, either immediately, or perhaps later, I'll open up the finished render and watch it via Windows Media Player(I'm still using Windows 7), with an empty "Word" document opened. I view the video, then, pausing at points through the video, I type in what I want to say at that point. When that's complete, I print out my "narration script", then I record an MP3 audio "track", which I import into PD14(or 8 if I decide to use it) along with the video, dropping the video onto its timeline first, I play it until the point appears for my first comment. I drop the narration track onto(in PD14) any unused audio track, or(in PD either the voice-over or music track. I play until I reach the end of each "comment", split the audio track at that point, then,(with Ctrl+X) cut the remaining audio track and paste it at the point of my next comment, repeating the process until all comments are in place. Labourious, yeah! Time-consuming, yes to that too! But I do get the result I want. "It works for me!" The audio software I use: Sony Sound Forge!

Cheers!

Neil.

Yes Neil that does sound like a bit of work but if it works for you and gives you the results you want then it is worth it. laughing I have yet to use Sony Sound Forge but I have heard nothing but good things about it. Subscribe to PowerDirector University on YouTube.
