> Oh, you have the Mac version. Does the problem occur when you try to split other clips? You can temporarily place another clip on your timeline to test that out.
Yeah, I just tried another clip and I was able to clip that.

>Two more questions: Does the split tool work normally with other clips?
Yes.
> What's the exact version you're working with?

Thanks for your help!

>The fact that a title is showing for both the video and audio tracks tells me that you've previously unlinked them.
I don't think I unlinked them. I'm on the Mac version. Does that make a difference?
>What happens if you select both sections, right-click and chose Link/Unlink Video and Audio?
Nothing. I can't right-click on a Mac and if I command cluck nothing happens.
>You may need to click on an empty section of timeline to deselect them, then click on them again to see if the Split tool is available[
Tried that. Nothing changed.

That works, thanks, but I don't see anything greyed out. Can you provide some context for what you've done and what you're expecting to see?
The splitting tool (the thing that looks like a utility knife) is gray. I want to split the video at the marked point, but am unable to as a result. Also,, nothing happens when I try to use the keyboard shortcut to do this.

Hi:
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to convert a video of a Zoom discussion with two people in rectangles horizontal to one another into the 16:9 format used for Facebook/Instagram Reels. Youtube Shorts, and Tiktok. Is there a way in Powerdirector to stack the two rectangles on top of one another rather than having them side by side?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks! That appears to have worked!

Thanks for the sample clip.
On my Windows machine, everything works normally with this 10-bit 4:2:0 BT.2020 HEVC MOV clip. I used PD365 to produce it to 8-bit 4:2:0 BT.709 HEVC .M2TS (which was the recommended setting from the built-in Profile Analyzer tool) and have attached it here.
I expect it'll work as expected when you open and produce it on your Mac. If so, then you'd probably want to set your camera to use 8-bit 4:2:0 for new videos and you'll need to convert all existing clips using a free app like Handbrake or VirtualDub2.
You should also open a support ticket here and provide a link to this forum discussion so they can see everything we've worked through. Ultimately they're the only people that can fix this incompatibility issue.

Here's a link to the MOV file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IXSnEgW7szi2IVaBPD71LCrkJAeuIDqs/view?usp=sharing

Hi Food & Justice -
The problem is obvious (just as you've described), but the cause isn't.
Is there any chance you could upload an unedited MOV file for testing? Aside from the colour shift, there are some odd artefacts displaying in the YT video. Are these in the produced file on your Mac?
Cheers - Tony
Edit: I should have done some digging around to find that post optodata referenced. If that's the issue, forget what I said.

I think I found the issue, but I don't know how to fix it. All the other MOV files I added to the project have Color profile: HD (1-1-1). The one giving me trouble has Color profile: BT.2020 HLG (9-18-9).

I added an MOV file to a prioject in Power Director 365 for Mac. For some reason, instead of displaying the coors of the added video, in the project it shows up with one color across the entire screen at a time, changing rapidly. I went to Produce and exported the video to an MP4, but this did not fix the problem. I uploaded the MOV file and the completed project to Youtube as unlisted videos to illustrate:
You can see the MOV file as intended here:

And you can see it in the project with screwed up colors here:
https://youtu.be/zvvFjjkQMY4?t=4699 (at 1:18:19)
Any idea how I can fix this?
