Moving from Powerdirector 14 to 15, can't find custom titles

I created a group of custom logo watermarks in the Title Room in PD14.

I want to move them to PD15 as they never got imported automatically.

Now I can't find which folder they are in in PD14.

I looked in c:\program files\cyberlink\powerdirector14\Titles

but they are not there.



Please advise.

Hi 360vids -

First up, you shouldn't need to do that at all. The custom templates you made in PDR14 should be available in PDR15.

Anyway, they're stored at C:\Users\UserName\Documents\CyberLink\PowerDirector\14.0. Your watermarks would probably be in the MyTitles sub-folder.

Cheers - Tony

Thanks,

That is why I asked because the titles were not available when I upgraded to PD15.

I copied the titles from the folder you gave me to the PD15 MyTitles folder but I'm still not seeing the titles there.

So, you opened the PDR14 "MyTitles" folder - copied all the contents (subfolders named Title_000 etc) - pasted those folders into the PDR15 "MyTitles" folder... and the custom templates don't appear in PDR15?

Could you attach a screenshot of each of those folders & PDR15's Title Room - - Custom?

I also rebooted the computer after the copy. I had to rename the PD14 001 and 002 to 009 and 011 as I had created some new titles in PD15. In the PD15 title screen, only the Frenchtable logo are new ones I created in PD15. The other are program defaults.
Thanks

OK - that helps a bit... & it shows there's something else wrong. In PDR15, you only have 11 title templates in total, including your 2 custom jobs. My PDR15 has 150+, not including custom & downloaded.

Did you install the Contents Packs that came with PDR15? (this is quite a separate issue from the one you've posted).

Could you please:


  1. Select one of the custom title folders in C:\Users\UserName\Documents\CyberLink\PowerDirector\14.0\MyTitles

  2. Zip it - right click > send to Compressed (zipped) folder

  3. Attach the zip file here


... just want to check something.

What happens when you:


  1. unzip the attached file

  2. rename the folder to Title_xxx to be the next in sequence in your PDR15 "MyTitles" folder

  3. drop it in the folder

  4. open PDR15's Title Room


?

I made it in PDR14.

Thank you. Yes - that worked (here).

I renamed the folder from Title_000 to Title_015 (the next in sequence) & it shows up in my PDR15 custom title templates. Screenshot attached.

You don't, perhaps, have sub-folders within your sub-folder, do you? Probably a silly question - just scratching for an explanation.

Cheers - Tony

I copied the same folder and renamed it to 015 as you did. Restarted PD15 and it still doesn't show up. I don't have any sub folders. I keep a clean PD install and don't change anything except customize the output render sizes .ini file.

I don't want to recreate every title again if I upgrade again to PD16 or higher as each client has a custom title.

I really don't know what's happening there. You seem to be doing everything correctly.

Someone just "knocked on my door" and asked, "Has that 360 guy installed the latest patch for PDR15?" There was a related issue resolved by an earlier patch. Just make sure you're running PDR15.0.2820.0

Worth a shot if it needs updating.

Yeah, I always keep it updated so that's the version I'm running on. Thanks for your help.

For PowerDirector 16, my titles do not appear in the My Titles directory. Where are they, or is there another way to import them into PD 17?

Jarome – You posted on a two year old thread that has been solved. You need to start a New Topic post as your issue is not the same as the PD14 and the PD15. You need to explain what you are trying to do with titles in PD16.
