Quote When I copy and paste from one PD16 project into another PD16 project, it doesn't work properly. Everything is copied; however, all the clips timeframes are incorrect. In other words, when I copy clips from one PD file into another file, the length of time of each clip is about 10 times what it should be; that is, a 10 second clip all of a sudden becomes 1.2 minutes long when copied. All clips do this - so a 10 minute file, when copied into another program become over an hour long. I have installed the latest update.

PD is unable to copy-paste from one program to another. Do you mean from one cuelist to another? .

As I said in the post - from one PD 16 project to another PD 16 project (not one program to another). PowerDirector has always been able to do this, but for some reason that I can't figure out, when I copy and paste into another PD 16 project, all the clips are 10 times as long.

Hi Aaron

Welcome to the forum

Here's a tutorial from our friends at PDtoots. It's version 8 but I believe the principals are the same.



If this doesn't work lodge a support ticket Happing editing

<br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />This never happened before in all the previous versions of PD that I've owned (and I've owned PD since version 9). This is very frustrating. What is going on?

I just tried that and for me it does not happen. The clips have the same duration after copy. I used footage of the same kind in both projects and the timeline has the same format, especially fps.

But the copied footage do not appear in the target media library. However, the project can be saved and opened. It works as expected. Duration stays the same. So check the attributes of the footage and the attributes of the timelines.

Hatti Win 10 64, i7-4790k, 32GB Ram, 256 GB SSD, SATA 2TB, SATA 4TB, NVidia GTX1080 8GB, LG 34" 4K Wide, AOC 24" 1080

Yes - I get the same results as Hatti.

When copying & pasting media content from one project to another, duration stays exactly the same.

Are you copying & pasting ALL the media in the timelines, or only a section?

I can also get it to work right. That's not my problem. The problem is for a couple of my projects, it is not working right. The clips, when copied from one project to another, are ten times longer, or ten times shorter. There must be some corrupt file or somethng, but I'm looking for ideas. I have film from go pros, cannon video cameras, and Google Earth movies - perhaps something from this - I don't know. But I really don't want to recreate the whole file in one project, when I should be able to just copy it. Driving me crazy.

I'm copying and pasting all of it. Sometimes it pastes as 10 times as long (none of the voice over works) and sometimes it pastes and 10 times as short. I just unistalled and reinstalled PD 16. Same issue.

I have sent PD an inquiry to their tech support, but have heard nothing back.

Hi

A workaround in the meantime is to Produce these projects separately and then create a new Project and import the two produced files. Then Produce again Happing editing

Hi Aaron400 -

I have no idea what's causing your issue because I can't replicate it at all.

This screen capture is a dummy project that includes GoPro & Canon clips, along with screen recordings from Google Earth Pro... plus a few other odds & sods. What yoou see happening is what I consistently get, whether I'm copying & pasting the whole timeline contents or only part.
