Pack to a new location. Is that what you wanted to know?

Suggestion:
1. Gather your project material to ONE location.
2. Save projects as you go along and
3. Export >Pack Project, only when you need to save the final project for storage.

Kelokata -

I'm not sure what the stars really mean... they might mean that if you are nice to the other editors and don't growl at them, you might get one. If you're a very good tiger and don't bite other editors you might get two. If you help them with their PD issues and earn their respect, you might get 3 or 4 or more.

The stars on the other side mean that someone thinks you're a very clever tiger (or not).

Cheers - Tony

Ahha!!! I understand Tony.

Thanks.
I will try to be a ,,tiger" good (as you said actually

)
And I hope not to upset anyone of the forum,because I am here to learn about PD8 and everything means Cyberlink.

I try to help others and I,but,maybe will go hard because my English language is rudimentary.

Thanks for help,you really help for me.

I have a project with titles, PiPs, etc and I tried export>pack without success. It packs the videos but not the titles, PiPs.
Should this take everything in a project and make it available to a PowerDirector on another computer without having to upload to the Internet?
We don't have the bandwidth here in South Africa and in any case, I don't want to share this with the world.
Would appreciate help in getting this done.
PowerDirector 8 and Windows 7

BTW, how do you gather all the components into one place. PD seems to spread stuff all around the disk and with Windows 7 having virtual directories and different names for "familiar' Directories, it becomes difficult to find everthing.

TIA

Hi Glyn -

Whenever I have use the Export > Pack Project option, PD has created a separate folder containing the pds file and copies of all project materials. Did you first save the project, then pack?

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the quick one!

I was importing the directory rather than opening the pds. When I do, everything is in the time line, but I want to be able use the titles and PiPs etc in another project but none of them are in the library. Is there a way of doing this?

The other thing missing is the menu. I know that this is not part of the video but is there a way of exporting/importing the menu?

TIA
Glyn

Hi Glynd,

You can save your own titles. and PiP objects (containing no video) as well as particles and menus.

However, they will only be available to the PD on that system because they are saved in a specific location.

You can copy those saved items as well and paste them into the new system in the appropriate location.

In my XP they are in

D:\Documents and Settings\Adrian\My Documents\CyberLink\PowerDirector\8.0

and
D:\Documents and Settings\Adrian\My Documents\CyberLink\Custom Menus\3.0

Don't know on windows 7 tho'

Others will know I'm sure.

Cheers
Adrian
