The manual (of both version 19 and 20) says that by clicking on that square box with the plus, you can “Insert Text/Images/Particles/Backgrounds”. The expected behavior would be I recon, that the windows file manager would be opened to allow the user to select texts, images, particles or backgrounds. It might be possible that in the previous version (or maybe even before that) you have selected a folder with backgrounds of any sort, that would then re-open by default? The update to version 20 may have reset the folder to something else…..
It might be easier to select a background color from the media-room and put that into a separate track above the track of the title, so that your background is showing?

btw; the folder for "some backgrounds" is: c:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDirector20\Background\

Thank you Warry,

selecting a background color from the media-room and put that into a separate track above the track of the title, works very well!!!

By the way, is there any way to make the background folder, the default one in the title designer?

Thanks again

Putting a background colour in a separate track is common practice. In the end it will give you a bit more flexibility in composition, because the background is not hooked to the title.

There does not seem to be a way to make a folder default. The import options always appears to start in the document folder. Remarkable is, that the last used Media Import folder IS being remembered by PD. A (not so good) option is to add frequently used images and background to the Sample clips folder and switch the automatic load sample clips on. I think that you do that if you have media that you really, really us all the time....
Maybe file a suggestion in the rate us & provide suggestion facility. My guess is that in order to implement this CL willhave to look at a whole series of default folders for its various imports. But who knows?

Thanks again for the useful information
