My friend is 70 and I have collected videos from our friends and colleagues to stitch together for him as we can't celebrate in person. I've put the videos on, along with Stevie Wonder's Happy Birthday, but I'd like to insert a title which introduces the video, and a 'credits' page. I've downloaded some templates online but I don't think I'm doing it right. I've found a Star Wars one I'd like to use at the beginning but Cyberlink won't allow me to insert it.

Any help to make this special for him would be gratefully received! Thank you.

If you've exhausted PowerDirector's stock title templates and you can't find one that works for you, you should check out the free templates in the DirectorZone. There are thousands of them there.

GodfreyZA has a title template than can be adapted for a bithday. Replace the images and music appropriate for a friend: https://youtu.be/AC6it_1ZdNs . Here is a recent post where a contributor, optodata show that any title can be a star wars perspective scroll: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/82016.page .

Thank you. That's where I had downloaded a couple from, but I can't get them to work for some reason. It's like PD doesn't recognise them.

Thank you - I can't seem to insert the title file anywhere. I can't import it as media and when I go to the Title Room it's not there. What am I missing? It says "The title template was successfuly installed and is now ready to use" but it doesn't appear in the list of Titles.

Aha it is indeed 16:9, that cleared that up! Thank you. I have just used a rubbish one called Clover but I will know for next time.
