I am using PowerDirector 18 and love the collage designer, which I have used to make some collages with fellow choir members singing virtually.

The problem is I want to include many more than 7 videos.

Is there a version of PowerDirector that allows working with a large number of videos (like 30), and also with ability to collage such a number?

And if not, what other alternatives are there?

Hi,

I think you will have to depart from any preset and start to design your own "collage". PDR19 also has the 7 limit for its preset collage designer.

Search for virtual choir in PDR18 and you wuill find some good starting points.
These might help:

Those links led me to how to do it. The main thing is to give up on using the Collage Designer because of its limitations to only seven tracks. I had not known about the grid approach. Thanks for the response.
