The quick answer is that you can't. You need to look beyond the video file itself and use e.g. HTML or a dedicated app to add hyperlinking functionality to a video.

p.s. - How is the video going to be distributed? Probably the easiest way for most people is by "Annotations" in YouTube.

Longedge is still correct. It can't be done in PowerDirector 16 either. .

It would be great if a text frame could do it. .

You can type a url in a text or a textframe, even scrollable. But it will not be clickable. The player of the video would need a kind of url-interpreter. None of the known video formats does have any kind of way to interpret a url in the video itself. And because the video cannot know the player or even the operating system it runs on, the video cannot interpret a url. I cannot image a way how to do it. A video is not an executable. It is a very sophisticated way to store pictures. Not more. You alway need a player, that can show these pictures. And as far as I know, none of the known video players does have a way to handle url in a played video.

So nowadays, that cannot work.

The only way could be a configured player. Like: "from second1:frame1 to second2:frame2 show url in textframe with x1:y1 and x2:y2". Maybe an online player (youtube?) can do that. And that is independent from the video format

I have the latest version of PowerDirector on my phone and I'm creating a Christmas campaign video for our charity. I need to insert a hyperlink into the final clip- does anyone know how to do this? I can't find anything in the tutorials.


Any help would be greatly appreciated- thanks!

Hello all,

I am not sure that "PowerDirector on my phone" will work with this solution but here's what you can do. With the tests, I did with photo collages it works and it will with video:

there's a web app that is called Kizeo. Check Google. It makes very fast competitive photo and video collages for those who are lazy (:). You can add special FX's, transitions, etc. AND the hyperlink.

Sole little prob is that the MINIMUM version withOUT a Kizeo logo will cost approx 25US$ for a lifetime license. Up to you to decide but you can test it all and I just tested a video hyperlink and it works.

So when your collage or unique video footage is made, record it, download it to your computer, put it in the timeline , edit with the rest of your footage, render, and it should be "done". Again, I have only tested it yet. Will make some YT examples when possible but try it out and let the community know about.

Now let the creative mind work!

Success!
