The 'easy' answer is to first produce the project using your intended final profile and then import that file back into your timeline on it's own. Then adjust the speed.

I agree, it might be better to produce a "draft" just getting all my clips (hundreds of them) onto the timeline and produce the "draft" copy and then edit the "draft" produced version rather than the individual clips themselves, seems like I would be trading work, I would then have to cut and cleanup each clip in the produced version.

There are so many things I love about PD, but user interface is not one of them. For example, it takes 5 or more steps to slow motion a clip, unless as a newer user, I am just not getting shortcuts or quicker ways to use the many wonderful features the software offers. Just wish it had more short cuts for the items I use the most such as slow motion and transitions.

I think I may need to uninstall the software and re-install it. Many features seem to make my computer freeze up. Such as adjusting the duration of a transition by grabbing one end and either lengthening or shortening the transion on the timeline, crashes everytime.

Thanks for your help. "I believe everything's gonna be alright."

Based on your original question "I would like to slow them all down to 50% of normal speed" it seems like a 'no brainer' to me. Create and edit your project as you want it and then when you produce it, PDR will place the new file in the media room. Delete all the original files from the timeline and put the new one onto the timeline adjust the speed and produce. It must be all of what, 30 seconds work .

p.s. - as for other problems that you didn't mention in the first instance, a good starting point is to post the output of your computer dxdiag results.

"I would like to slow them all down to 50% of normal speed," I wasn't clear, my apologies. I meant for the group of clips I would like to slow down to 50% of normal speed, I did not state what I wanted accurately. I do not want the entire video to be slow motion just the ones I wanted either individually or as a group of clips. I have gone in and individually selected every clip and/or group of clips and slowed them down -- manually, very time consuming. I believe it takes 6 selections for each clip to create a slow motion effect, seems overkill for such a simple effect.

Thought I should be able to batch process groups of clips and I was probably just overlooking it, but guess not.

I added dxdiag.

Thanks. "I believe everything's gonna be alright."

Would it help, if I said that PowerDirector 16 is able to do it?

For multiple selected clips, the "PowerTools" and "Fix/Enhance" are still working. And you can select more than one clip and change the speed.
ColorDirector, called from "Fix/Enhance" does handle only the first selected clip. Just for completeness.
