Is there a way to sample the many new Shutterstock music backgrounds without having to download them to your library first? I have not been able to figure it out.

Near the bottom left of the wIindow is a play button a volume button and - as shown. One at a time.

OOps, the image can't be displayed but you should find the controls there.

That's very helpful, but for some reason the tool can't sort by Genre, which is the most important detail as far as I'm concerned.

At least you can search for a specific word in the genre tag, so you can remove most unwanted items that way; then the other columns can be clicked on to sort by ascending or descending.

I'm hoping they add that functionality soon. Makes complete sense. Subscribe to PowerDirector University on YouTube.

I just requested it through Rate Us & Provide Suggestions. I imagine that more requests might help get this implemented quickly
