Owing to a number of PMs as well some recent inquiries on the forum, regarding issues of missing media when re-opening a work in progress from one’s saved .pds file, a new and hopefully helpful Project Management tutorial, is now available on the PDtoots tutorials channel.
It’s a 2 part tutorial that covers...
- The creation of a Temporary Working Folder (for each specific project).
- Adding to and maintaining a Temporary Working Folder.
- Archiving a project via the Packed Project Folder export option.
Though there are some possible variations in how each PD user may choose to manage and archive their projects. The method shown in this 2 part tutorial, is the method generally used by many of your fellow PD editors, as it helps to ensure that you never have to face losing a work in progress, or any of your project’s assets. Or find yourself “browsing” for files, owing to that PD pop-up message that’s now asking you to locate and direct PD to various missing bits of media that your PD suddenly can’t locate.
So, for any fellow forum members or visitors, who may be new to PowerDirector or video editing in general, perhaps you will find some useful workflow habits and tips contained in these Project Management tutorials linked below.
