I thought it was time for a very positive post!
I am running on a very scaled down computer...Windows XP, dual core 64X2with 2 gigs of RAM...with a HD Radeon 2600 Pro 512 megs of ram video card.
I produced a video using 1920 X 1080 HD footage and used 3 audio tracks plus 3 PIP tracks...with tons of titles as well.....I imported all of my footage without a problem..and I left Power Director 8 Build 2220 open for about 12 hours...Shadow files were disabled as well. It never gave me a problem....it never paused or hanged and it never had to be shut down manually.
I then installed the Fix for YouTube uploading shared to us by a diligent moderator Dafydd and proceeded to click the Produce Tab. All went smoothly with no problems. It finished rendering and then uploaded the completed video to YouTube. It finished without a problem.
While it was uploading I watched the INTERESTING ADS displayed by Cyberlink and clicked the link to watch some amazing videos uploaded to Director Zone!!! by creatively inspired video editors.
I verified on my YouTube account that the video had uploaded to my satisfaction and with the intended quality that I anticipated using the CUSTOM PROFILES that I had learned about creating by participating in this forum. I WAS DELIGHTED!!!
COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I AM DOING WRONG??!!!
I LOVE THIS SOFTWARE AND WILL CONTINUE USING IT!! By the way I paid the full price for this product if memory serves me correctly!!
I did ALL OF THIS while playing with my TWO 14 MONTH OLD TWINS and enjoying a homemade batch of apple crisp with vanilla ice cream that my lovely wife made.....followed closely by a superb glass of Rose wine from Provence where I spent my honeymoon. There....it was a wonderful day full of wonder!!!
I LOVE THIS CHALLENGING HOBBY AND WOULDN"T MISS IT FOR ANYTHING!!!
And the very BEST part is...I have been introduced to a group of highly motivated and passionate people who TRULY CARE about using this software successfully and desire to help other users be successful as well!!
Humbly Submitted....no attitudes...no Lies....no stretching of the TRUTH....and definately no diversions found here......just the facts as I experienced them from my little rock in the Ocean off the coast of Maine.
Now don't get me wrong..it's not perfect...from what I hear Technical Support is not perfect...canned answers and all. I understand and empathize to all those that are having difficulties. Keep reading this forum and I bet your problems diminish!!!!
P.S. I am very curious to see if there will be a response or two to this post. Who will go out on a limb to substantiate or refute my findings. It isn't a personal thing...I invite all comments and opinions.
