Aspect Ratio - square. Or at least the ability to crop square. Square videos are in demand.

Need to see both ends of an edit: currently when dragging one end of a clip, as soon as it crosses over in to the space of the previous or next clip the view changes to that clip. Need to see both where the drag leaves the frame AND where it leaves the neighbour frame. I would have thought this was a "feature" needed by any editor all the time.

Also, submitted this to tech support (not fixed in PD update 15.0.2509.0): in PD, right-click an audio track, choose Edit Audio > Audio Director (7), make any change (or not) and desire to save that audio file or mix - under the File menu Save and Save As are greyed out, as is the Produce button. If not coming from PD, ie. open AD on its own, then these functions are available. Need to be able to edit audio and return to PD so this should be fixed.

Thanks

My Only wish: Please finally fixes the Geforce errors, which exists since several versions (since PD13). You can not create a bluray disc without the "loop playback error", if you would use Hardware Videoencoding in the last Creating Step. In PD15 version even the hardware encoding on Nvidia was deactivated, because there are still problems. 2.5 years and the same, unresolved error. Have reported it every Version. Nothing changes.

For me this is an absolute poverty.

I would like to see more choices in the Produce Custom Profile Dialog box. I still have older smart TV and DVD player that doesn't handle variable FRAME rate well. I would like to see more control.

Constant Frame Rate
Constant Bit Rate
Custom GOP Pattern
MP4 encoder level (High/Main/Baseline @3 to 5.2)
Option for fast decode for web hosting
5.1 audio with MP4

Some of the things that rattle my nightie (old kiwi saying) is people comparing PowerDirector to Adobe Priemere or DaVinci Resolve etc... one has to remember the market and target of PowerDirector. It is a not classed as a "High End" or "Professional editing suite" video editor. It is a more a "mid range" or a "Prosumer" editing suite that does have some nice features that others don't.

So you are not going to get some of the requests unless CyberLink change their market target. Which is possible and do-able with the software they already have. AudioDirector, PhotoDirector & ColorDirector all work flawlessly together via PowerDirector opening each program and sending the data to and from each program.

Because of this the chances are actually very slim because own product ColorDirector which works independently of PowerDirector but work together flawlessly. (Okay I have not ever run into an issue)

That being said it has room to grow, and they have a stable product. It could even become a high end editor as well as keeping the entry level application ie; different versions. The only real difference in the current versions are the different packs you get... If they fully combine these products the price of it PowerDirector will start sky rocket, BUT you start to get a lower end professional suite.With this they could easily produce a professional suite as well as prosumer suite.

PowerDirector Ultimate - (Professional)

• With the professional suite combine these programes AudioDirector, PhotoDirector & ColorDirector with PowerDirector and make them run even tighter together this alone becomes a pretty powerful suite. then I only have to worry about one program one install one purchaces one upgrade etc...


• Add in a way for 3rd party plugins that can easily be installed and be compatible to various standards. Because I want a easier way do to stop motion and a few other things then CyberLink don't have develop it and can concentrate on the core product and 3rd parties can make various plug ins... (unless this becomes a new feature in later versions etc)


• Built in better titling and composting effects.


• Start adding the more professional items that people ask for Nest objects, upgrading the browser library and show folders, compositing etc


• I personally would like to see PowerDirector (and ColorDirector) be compatible with some more hardware controllers etc out of the box... ie; Tangent Track Ball Devices for colour correcting... Even having a premade scripts for X-Keys Controlers.


• The ability to link to other programs of choice, PhotoShop, Corel, FL Studio... while I understand this one is a little more difficult but it is not impossible.

PowerDirector Ultra - (Prosumer)

• PowerDirector as it is with some of the more general visuals


• Target the mid range to home user and youtuber vLogger.


• Keep the extra applications separate as they are and the user can buy them as needed.


• Keep delveoping the core programme inline with PowerDirector Ultimate so if they upgrade it is no different.

The reason I say this is I would be buying the high end version but also know many many people that don't use 95% of the features PD offers now. And would be happy with the newer slimmer home version.

I have and already use PowerDirector, ColorDirector, AudioDirector and PhotoDirector (though I use Corel over PhotoDirector) I have been using for 3 years and pretty comfortable with them but I wish they had a few other things and that it did some things better. I would also upgrade to the Professional version if it was offered... Nighthawk Music : Wacky Wood Works

Hi PowerDirector team ... Youtube annotation ...

I want a way to make my Vlog videos super easy to navigate ... so as the video plays the viewer can see toggles (or something) on the video play bar indicating that there is a chapter heading at that point. If they mouse over the chapter name can pop up. It would be great if this worked directly from the 'Chapter room'.

Currently it can be done from youtube, but its not an elegant or flexible solution.

This would be useful for longer videos where users are encouraged to jump around the video and not view it from A to Z ... and for using other youtube 'annotation' features.



Thanks

YouTube no longer support annotations. Nighthawk Music : Wacky Wood Works

Oh ... shows how upto date I am!

Still ... a way of showing in-video navigation. So not where the viewer has to jump out of the video to a menu, as in a DVD menu, but a way of showing chapters on the video play bar which appears at the bottom of the video showing elapsed time.

A a way of linking out of the video into other videos or sites.

Hi,

i have been using PowerDirector since I got a free copy with a JVC camcorder in 2008 and I have upgraded every year and appreciated the new features, not all of which I have used. There are three things which I would love to see added - forgive me if they have already been suggested.



1) The ability to save preferences by project, particularly under the "file" section. I often work on more than one project at a time, each with its own directory structure and file naming convention, and any time I switch between projects I have to go and manually change the preferences. It would be so convenient t if at least the file preferences were saved with the project.



2) The anchoring of chapters to the clips instead of to the timeline. If I have a project and I have inserted chapters and then for some reason the client wants a section removed, I have to manually adjust all the chapters I had defined subsequent to the section I delete (or insert). It would be nice if the chapters stayed synced with the clips that they are attached to, rather than remaining static on the timeline. There could be an option to toggle the behavior, in case some people prefer them anchored to the timeline.



3) The ability to produce a file from a selected portion of the timeline. I may be editing a wedding, for example, but want to send a clip of just the vows to the couple for some reason. I should be able to select that portion and then go and produce a file from just the selected portion. I don't know if that is possible now but I always have to delete the sections that I don't want included, produce the file, and then restore the timeline.



thanks for your consideration

I want a complete redesigned front end something like Premiere-Pro

See my previous post...

If you want a front end like Premiere-Pro and all its functions then may I suggest you buy it... At present PoweDirector is a completely different market to where Adobe Premiere is...

Again PD would become just as expensive if it did every thing as Adobe Premiere and looked like Adobe Premiere .... you might as well buy Adobe Premiere...??? Nighthawk Music : Wacky Wood Works

The yellow tabs at the top of your timeline scrubber can be pulled to each side to hilite a portion of the track. New buttons will appear when you do this and one of them is to PRODUCE the section.

Please enlighten me... how you think PD has a child like interface (what ever that is) and what a more proffessional interface is like...

I am not trying to sacastic... I am little confused by what you mean.

I personally find Adobe Premiere interface over crowded and a litte cluttered which can make it confussing to a new user... (BTW I am not a new user of Premiere I use it when I have to.) Where PD is less cluttered and easier to follow and has some hidden gems that many Prosumer editors don't have.

Again you have to remember the target market of PowerDirector it is targeted at the home user or Prosumer not the professional. So it has to be simple and easy to use else people won't use it because they have to go through that stepper learning curve... and PD still has the power to do general videos and do them well...

Where as Adobe Premiere, HitFilm, DaVinci Resolve and the like, are targeted at the professional, where the end user does it for a living and has gone through that learning curve.

Knowing who your target market is very important in programming industry, and I believe CyberLink have got it right for their current market... If that target market changed to professional, then the program would change to meet that demand... (so would the price as they as it would have to have many more advanced features and would not sell as many copies) Nighthawk Music : Wacky Wood Works

only a small thing but something that annoys the hell out of me.................I post youtube videos and only youtube videos and all at 1920x and every time I go to online I have to change to youtube and change to 1920 and change and chane



look, any intleiigent program would remember your last preferences and leave that on or even make it an option to use your last settings for posting online

lol. I guess I need to do some tutorials! I would often open those yellow rails by accident but never knew what they did - until now.
