Nice to see the rotation bug fixed, I was seeing that one with my Note 4 videos, but did not report it.

The only bug out of the 6 I was reported that is fixed in this lis tis :
- Fixes the issue that produced M2TS clips contain only audio when producing the video with NVIDIA hardware encoding.

Technically this was happening only with the latest nVidia driver versions. Now the resulting file has audio again even with the latest driver.

But still, the hardware rendering in my test case for this bug is twice as long with drivers 355.98 vs 347.88 . I'm not sure if the performance issue is in nVidia or Cyberlink code, but either way, despite the audio production bug fix in this latest PowerDirector patch, I still can't use the latest nVidia drivers - I had to revert again.

I have also found 6 additional issues doing some more tests - not sure if they are regressions in the patch or not. But I will be posting about them in the next few days and filing more support bugs too.

The 2130 beta patch has an issue. Aspect ratio gets messed up in PiP Designer.

► Click Modify - make no changes - save - squished.

► Set a motion path - save - squished.

Screen capture...

Yes HDedit - one little glitch renders the whole PiP Designer completely USELESS

On a happier note, 4K HEVC files are now able to generate shadow files (2nd last item on the fix list)
