Current Wish List:

TeeMan1

- The ability to create permanent Tags/Folders that will help to organize my media files. Putting lots of mixed media (video, audio, photo, etc) in one folder and then having to sort through them is a real pain.

- ability to add sequences within a project instead of having to create a new project file for each time I want a new sequence.

BarryTheCrab

- The ability to choose multiple clips to apply fixes/enhances at the same time. The current "Apply to all" is too limiting.

- Next, the ability to alter the volume level of the disc menu music. Is it re-e-e-a-a-al-l-y that difficult?

GGRussell

- more control in the Produce custom Profile dialog box.

1 - choice for constant FPS and variable FPS

2 - Choice for constant CBR and variable VPR vs Avg ABR

3 - choice for changing GOP pattern

4 - would be nice to control i frame vs IDR frames this could make seeking the H.264 file easier and more responsive in the player

5 - MP4 does support 5.1 audio so why doesn't PD15? Even my home camcorder has 5.1, but I can't output to MP4 because PD doesn't support it.

What a poor way to limit input: cut short the notice. Unfortunately this type of action is not a surprise. Win 10, i7

Hello,

Thanks for your comment.

Previously, no notice was given. The planning stage for PowerDirector has always ended around the same time, so any suggestions provided after November were rarely going to be added to the next version. We know that PowerDirector users were not aware of this before, so we wanted to make them aware now.

We will start a new thread for future versions after the deadline, and have it available going forward.

Note that RD will monitor these threads on going and there is always a possibility that small changes/suggestions get incorporated sooner.

We are trying to improve the communication here between users and CyberLink RD and shed more light on what happens at CyberLink. So we hope making users aware of the software development cycle is the first step.

Cheers

1. The ability to create permanent tags/folders in the Media Room in which to place specific assets. For instance, if I am working on a project and I've got 10 different video shots, 40 or so music audio tracks for bumper music, 50 photographs, I would like to categorize them in their own respective folder just like I would do on my computer.

2. In MultiCam Designer, another option added to the audio source choices that would allow "audio to follow the video" selection. This is extremely important when you have two or more clips that actually sync in MCD but you may have a clip on camera 1 that may have only been recorded for 5 or 10 minutes and then is recorded another 5 or 10 minutes later in the sequence. MultiCam would then show the other tracks which you can click on but because you have "hard picked" the source for audio (e.g., Camera 2", it does not change when you switch to another camera.

3. In the project timelime, the ability to add a new sequence as part of that project instead of having to create a whole new project and then import it back into the project. For instance, if I've got a project that has say 4 different sections, it would be great to be able to access one or all of the sections while working in the same project.

4. Realizing that there are very minor changes/additions between versions, an UPDATED User's Manual that is easy to locate on the Cyberlink site in PDF woudl be great. Ditto for all of CL's products. The last manual I can find anywhere is for PD 13. TeeMan

I'm a hobbyist who has been using Magix's Movie Edit Pro to make short youtube's since 2011. I am now using MEP 2016 - and more recently, DaVinci Resolve 12.5.3. I am happy with both, but decided to buy PD 15 Ultra on a Black Friday sale to experience PD's legendary speed.

My suggestion for Cyberlink is of a general nature.

My impression is that PD is not very user friendly. At least, not as intuitive as MEP or Resolve. So while PowerDirector is famous in the reviews for speed, I suggest that it is a bit unwieldy to steer. What good is fast if it's frustrating to drive?

Now, as an Engineer myself, I know that Engineers often concentrate on performance - on the engine under the hood. We often forget that regular people, who didn't design our software, have to use it. So even if the video engine is fast but the interface slows the user down, then the whole experience is "slow."

So I suggest that the Software Engineers invite a few users to use PowerDirector to make a short (10 to 20 minute) video and watch as users struggle to do the most basic things. Perhaps go to a shopping mall and invite people to make a video. You could even give them the assets and show them what you would like the finished render to look like, to see if they can figure things out on their own. The goal is to make PD as easy to use as an Apple product.

If you want an example of brilliant thinking, check out the way the time line works in Resolve. The program knows when you want to ripple, overwrite, etc. (And it's free - and fast too. So you have some major competition.)

While I'm hesitant to say that Cyberlink should copy what DaVinci has done, they have done a good job. Your Engineers might get some fresh ideas looking at the competition.

Quote The goal is to make PD as easy to use as an Apple product.

Not! if I wanted a Mac, I would have bought one. I don't use Adobe products because they were designed on and for a Mac. Apple products are not intuitive for 'everyone'.
