Hi guys i am new to Cyberlink Power Director but have managed to make my first youtube video using the software. I have read and followed loads of online tutorials but cannot seem to find the content im looking for on what i want to accomplish. So any help would be much appreciated i have my own airgun youtube channel 24hr airgunner but would like to produce my videos with the same type proffesional looking effects has airguns and advancement channel and teds hold over. But when i try to do the slow motion shot footage i lose audio, so i know im doing it wrong in someway using the editor. So would like to know, how to do it properly. Also once adding my video footage, how to get rid of the black bars from the sides i have tried the resolution settings but it doesn't seem to get rid of them. Even though the footage is either filmed in 1920x1080 or 1240x720 and following some of the tutorials still cannot seem to get rid of the bars. If anyone does take a look at my latest youtube video link below, you will see what i mean also when using transitions like page curl, when playing the footage i sometimes get the perfect follow on from the page curl other times i get a black screen after the page curl how to prevent that. Basically guys i'm a newbie and just looking for some tips and advice on how to make my youtube video's look alot more proffesional. So any help on getting me to the next level would be much appreciated thx.https://youtu.be/VjgGNU2AMHA

Hi Maddog Hutty -

Because your video is recorded in 4:3 (1440x1080), it has black bars in YouTube's 16:9 player. To elimnate the black bars in the video portions, just right click on the video > Set Clip Attributes > Set Aspect Ratio > Use CLVP to stretch to 16:9. This will result in a bit of distortion (see attached) but the black bars will be gone. Alternatively, if possible, record in 16:9.

Another suggestion I'd make with your transitions is not to have, say the page turn transition go to black. Make it go straight to the next image or clip. I'm assuming you may have applied the transition as "postix" rather than straddle the two clips. Example attached.

Cheers - Tony

If you insert the transition at the end of a clip (postfix), it will transition to black before jumping to the next clip.

If you insert the transition so it straddles the two clips, it will transition from one clip to the next without the black. You can set it to Cross or Overlap.

Take a look at this screen capture.

When you use Power Tools > Video Speed, the audio will change speed along with the video... whether you slow it down or speed it up.

If you want the audio to continue at regular speed while the video slows down, you need to unlink the video from the audio (right click > Unlink).

I meant to say tony i noticed you answered that question on audio i meant to say when i slow the footage down i seem too lose the audio so what your saying is split the audio frames. But wont that totally unsync the audio or are you saying split it and then stretch the audio frame to match the slow motion video i think thats what you mean please confirm if im on the write track thx tony.
