Hello, anyone knows if we're gonna get a multi audio stream import feature until PD17 is released..? I would like to be able to import my GeForce Experience Shadowplay gaming videos with two audio streams (game + mic) straight into PD16..
Thanks!

PowerDirector does not load multiple audio streams.
You have to demultiplex your videofile and load the streams separately.
Demultiplexers are fast and should be free of charge.

Hello,
If you have Director Suite or PowerDirector Ultimate Suite, AudioDirector can do this.

Really? How? I didn't find out. Please tell.

Thanks for your responses guys.
My workflow will be this:

  1. Any gameplay without microphone commentary (usually long - around one hour) i will import and process with PD16.

  2. Any commented gameplay (maximum 25 minutes..) will go in Vegas Pro 15 which can handle the second audio track just fine.


From my tests PD16 encodes TWICE AS FAST than VP15 at similar produce/render settings !

Hello,
OK, there are two different things I think we are talking about. So please let me know if we are on the same pages.

If you have a video file with say 5.1 audio (so 6 audio tracks), then you can import that file into AudioDirector and see all 6 tracks.

These tracks can be edited in AudioDirector and then imported back into PowerDirector. See this post for a screenshot of that:
https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/64520.page#post_box_294149

If you have a video file that has multiple audio streams, like some discs do for languages, you can switch between the audio streams in PowerDirector. See the attached image audiostreams.jpg for a screenshot of switching between the audio streams.

Now if you have the latter, you can just import the video twice, switch the audio stream on one of them, unlink the audio and then remove the video on the second track.

The video file formats that support this are MKV and WTV I believe. It says on the spec list:

Please let me know if this is what you are asking, or if I missed something.

That is interesting.. I already mentioned my sources are GeForce Experience (Shadowplay) AVC H.264 files with dual audio streams (game + voice/mic) and i am trying to cut to the fewer steps in the workflow.
So i will still use PD16 for no-commentary-long videos and Vegas Pro 15 for short commented videos due to the easier import/edit workflow.

Can anyone help me with the above. I have a video file with dual audio streams and I cant manage to switch between the 2 in PD14. I've done it before but now that I want to do it again I cant seem to find the option or something and the above links dont seem to work anymore. If anyone knows how to do this I'd appreciate some help.
