I got a JVC Everio for X-mas and it came with the Power Director and Producer software. I am trying to figure this all out b/c I want to start video editing of home movies. I thought I could find some tutorials on here that talked me through things. I found a few but the things it talks about I can not find on my programs. All of the Magic keys such as Magic Clean, Magic Cut etc... Why is this? I think the version I got was 3.2. Is that the reason? Did I get a very basic one that doesn't have any features on it? If so, are there tutorials out there for this one? Sorry this is so long but I am very new at all of this. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Lindsay,
Okay, the first thing you have to do is ask questions...don't be cautious...just ask. We all need help and I'm pleased to see postings where WE all can help and learn.
I'll move your posting to a new location for JVC users..... not yet as that part of the forum has a minor display issue.
Your camera has a special build version of PowerDirector Express. I use the latest software, PowerDirector 5 Premium and have all the refinements...including some you've mentioned in your posting. Please be aware the Special Build means you must use the Express software and upgrade only to the top of the range PD product.
Right then to the help bit. I think you have a Hard Drive camera. So you need to Cut and Paste the contents of the camera (*.mod files) to your PC's Hard Drive. I suggest you paste it into My Computer/My Works.
Next you Open PD and use the folder icon (top left) to locate the .mod file.
To place the video into the time-line all you need do is click and drag the file to the time-line from the media display. You are now ready to use the edit tools.
Questions?
