Right clicking on the project footage will show more options you can do to the track. ![]() Personally adding too many tracks can be unnecessary for simple home videos. ![]() Next to that will allow to see the project from start to finish thus showing how long the footage is.Īlso in this area you have the options to disable tracks that are not necessary by simply ticking the boxes.Īdding tracks is organized in a manner to allow you to decide how many of each track a large project may require. One allows you to add more tracks (see below). Simply dragging the footage to the timeline will not show it in its entirety.Īlong the left hand side of the timeline there are two little buttons. Whether you have one long video footage or small clips edited together, you will find there are more edit options once they are laid out on the timeline. Would you use these last three rooms for home videos? Possible, but I think those three options would not be a high priority if you were converting old videos. The last three rooms consist of a voice over mixer – allowing you to add a speaking component, chapter selection and adding subtitles. The next room is a simple to use (but effective) audio mixing desk. Next room below are the hundreds of fade options. This window will allow you to edit the words and fine tune how you want it to look. When you drag a text sample to the timeline and double click it, a new window will open. Speaking of which, the next room is text. Next we have the particle effects which can be added to projects. Edit Module – The Many RoomsĪlong the left side we have PowerDirector 17 has more rooms.įirst on the list is FX which you can scroll through to see hundreds of effects that may be of use for your project.īelow that is the video overlay or PiP option. Lastly you can also search through projects using their saved names. This option will disappear if you choose to view projects as details. Icons can be enlarged or shrunk using a slider. PowerDirector 17 will allow you to arrange as icons or sort the projects in any manner you wish. Each of these can be toggled on or off at any time. The next three settings are just if you want to view videos only, photo only or music only in the library. My Projects – where your videos will be stored for quick access.Įxpress Projects – You can use the sample templates for quick edits. Media Content – is where any videos, music or images that you add will be stored.Ĭolor Boards – plain color boards for chroma key samples.īackground images – where you can store images that you may use as for samples in your video.īackground Music – where you can store any music for the project. Next option across will let you sort the media into various categories. Magic Movie Wizard – A simplified version using a step by step process to making a video.ĪI Style Plugin – Changes your videos to painting like effect. Video Collage Creator – Another cool idea to have several videos playing at the same time. Paint Designer – A simple yet cool looking animator using the mouse as a brush tool. SlideShow Creator – Same as the Slideshow creator option at the start of the program. Not to be confused with chroma keying, but just an added effect. Screen Recorder – Same as the Capture Module screen recorder.īlending Effect – Allows you to place an image over a video. Interesting idea I haven’t seen done elsewhere. You can add mor than one theme to a project as well.Īction Camera Center – Allows you to edit and fix footage of an action nature.Įxpress Projects – Pre made templates that you can drop you video clips over. Theme Designer – PowerDirector 17 has built in themes that you can add your videos to in order to give a professional look. ![]() MultiCam Designer – More ideal if you have or are recording from several video sources at once. You can also drag files into the library and they will be saved in there. ![]() Taking a look at the the above section (media room).įrom top left there is the option to import media from any folder. I don’t have a problem with this, I just haven’t heard of other editing programs calling it that. Edit Module – The Media Roomįor some reason, Cyberlink decided to break up each area and call them rooms. Overall PowerDirector does a great job of capturing footage and giving a few tweaking options. The end result will be saved and added into your media library.
