AudioDirector can be invoked directly from any timeline clip by right-clicking on it and choosing AudioDirector, which is the best tool for this task. It also shows a video preview which may help with syncing the pan to the video content:



You can also open PD's built-in Audio Editor the same way, and while it lets you work on the individual audio channels independently, there isn't an easy way to pan.

If you really want to stay in PD, you could use A E to mute one channel then copy the clip and mute the other so you'd then be able to use volume keyframes as needed to pan across them with them both synced on the timeline.

Thanks for the answer. I think this is definitely something PowerDirector needs to add into their next update. It's a very cumbersome process for something so simple but important in Video production.

FWIW I've used PD fo 10+ years and have made >1000 videos and not once have I ever needed to pan the audio.

However, it's clearly a useful tool and you can let Cyberlink know you'd like to see that functionality be added to Audio Editor from Rate Us & Provide Suggestions under PD's File menu.

In Audiodirector you can pan audio also here:

I add to the discussion by saying that it is not only useful to manage pan from right to left, but also from front to rear.
I followed the procedure to request this implementation from PD. A procedure that Pinnacle has always allowed.
Thanks.
