Man - what a mess!
But there are some parts that sound right...
The packs? Holiday, Wedding etc... they contain way more than a few animations. Check this link. If they're installed correctly you should find them in C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\templates\Creative Design Pack
ProDAD Adorage & Vitascene? What you have showing in FX is correct. When you drop either Adorage or Vitascene onto a clip, click Effect > Standalone Effect & you should see many options available in the various folders & sub-menus. They're installed in C:\Program Files\proDAD and C:\Program Files (x86)\AdorageI-GfxDatas and C:\Program Files (x86)\AdorageI-SAL
Product keys? I could be wrong here, but I only recall applying a single product key when I installed DirectorSuite. I cannot locate any separate product keys with my installer files, which seems to confirm that. I'm not sure why you have a bunch of them.
That's a bit of a start anyway.

Hey Tony, thanks....
I was a bit worried I was too ... umm.... frustrated via my last post...
Your points.. very helpful. (Also, maybe some items often install too fast on SSD to see where everything is going).
1) You are right, I can see the bunch of Holiday Packs etc in Creative Design Pack in C: Program Files (x86) etc... where you mentioned... (I thought they would automatically be in Cyberlink).... but I dont know how to "SEE" them in Cyberlink itself (if it is not just the 6 little Gifs)
I guess I just leave them there, because nothing tells me to do anything else with them?
2) Ref- Adorage Vitascene: I will try them again, but all I knew to do was try and see if they had any effect, and I didn`t know about anything else anywhere else connected to them (because other special effects are automatic and visible).
As for ther location in C: Prog files (x86), Iwill assume they are automatically connected in Power Director because I still have not input any Product Key for them.
I did install the key for PhotoDirector 8 Ultra which came with it, but that boots up seperatly. That works fine.
Many thanks for the help you gave.
Its partly my unfamiliarity with this software that could explain some of it, but I would live a video on youtube as to how to get the Holiday Packs etc connected in Director 15 to actually use them. Vids are great on how to use them, but a vid on how to access them in the first place would be nice.
I will try attach in the prog.
EDIT
40-minutes later...
No go...
Hunted around as to how to get the Template Packs into PD15, but nothing happening.
The program will not even allow me to import media files/folders if that was the way to do it.
There is no options in the ProDAD filters. Just drop into the test Vid, and thats it. Nothing else comes up, except stock menu items when I look for options.
I thought by version 15, this software would be fully functional.
I didnt even mind the first few times I booted the program up yesterdaythat it froze my PC so hard, I had to rip the power cord out of the wall, and re-connect to get it working again. `Ctrl, Alt Del` didnt even function.
Only fifty more attempts before I make a screenrecorder vid on how gash it is.
P.S.
It isnt my PC at fault, as I have Many HUNDREDS of fully functioning programs on this rig.
NEXT EDIT
Checked again...
Maybe it installed into Slightly the wrong place?
I see in C: Prog Files (x86), I have `Cyberlink>Templates` (6.7Gb)
I also have a much lighter Templates folder in Cyberlink>Power Director>Templates ......... So I am copying and pasting the 6.7Gb into that to see if it works.
Almost done....
Final EDIT here
Nope. That didnt work.
Still invisible template fx packs etc.
