igal, in addition to JL_JL's explanatory link, I wish to expand on the topic for you.

if you like Magic Music, as I do, if you had a previous version of Powerdirector you can re-install it to re-aquire Smartsound/Magic Music. All versions of PowerDirector can be installed beside each other with no interferences. One other option is to go to Smartsound website and download the Quicktracks download page and see if you can trick PD into using it. Just guessing.

Another option is to download the SonicFirePro standalone. It's a free option with limited function after the trial runs out (21 days?) but you'll go bonkers with the full version until then. Although it does not plug-in to Powerdirector, you can bring your rendered Powerdirector video into SonicFirePro and create a score like a pro, it's a lot of fun. All Smartsound music goes to the same folders so any SS music files from one program are accessible by the others, too. There is more to the story but that's enough unless you wish to learn more/ask questions. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
