Hello

I just today swithched over to the new PDR17 ultimate and so far I am a little frustrated. I am trying to move the 900+ custom motion objects, Titles, particles objects pips and so on into the PDR17 but none of my files carry the >DZP extention? Can someone tell me how to get my PDR16 stuff to load into the proper menus selections like PIP, Particles and so on? I can only migrate them into my media editing area but the file extentions are all PNG and other.

Thank you,

Hmmm. The objects from the previous version(s) do not automatically show? They should.

My PD17 recognizes to customized and created titles, Particles, Strokes, Transfers from previous versions. The files are stored in the folder c:\users\<name>\Documents\Cyberlink\PowerDirector\
Depending on the versions you have used, you may find next to the 17.0 folder also a 16.0 folder (15.0 etc.).
Apparently PD scans all these folders and makes the objects available for use in PD17.

If your object files are somewhere else, you can always try and move them to the folder mentioned above. You have to make sure that you dont overwrite objects with the same sequence numbers. Renumbering these will do the trick.

Hope that this helps.
