Thank you for the wonderful video! I have several video clips I'm putting into one timeline and used a simple square mask in the center of the first video. How can I save that mask present to easily apply to the rest of the video clips in the timeline?? Thank you!
@@PDU_Tutorials Thank you kindly for a quick reply. Every time I try click Save As (bottom right of the screen) it says "You cannot save templates that contain video files". Is it because I applied the mask on a video segment? Thanks!
@@PDU_Tutorials So, the Tools drop down menu and "Mask Designer" option only appear when I select a specific video clip on the timeline. Is there way to open the mask designer option in a new file (without videos) in order to save it? Appreciate your time sir!
I just wonder if you can or you already have made a video showing a video with blurred background the people in the foreground. Still in focus and high detail. Or is this actually possible for this program. Thank you for your feedback. And the content that you share.
You can create some depth of field using a mask and the blur effect. This is not the best way to do it though. The best way to do it would be during production by using a fast lens to create a shallow depth of field while shooting. By making the aperture wider (smaller f-number f/1.4 to f/4), you create a shallower depth of field. The person or object you are focusing on will be sharp and the background will be blurred. When you do this while shooting or during production there is no need to create the effect in post and it looks more professional.
Thank you for your videos! Is there a way to apply a mask to multiple clips at once, or to remove a mask from multiple clips at once? (For example, all of the clips in a single track?)
is it possible to create a mask template to use in videos? I can only create one in a specific video file. Considering i use the mask quite often, it is a pain to configure the same mask every time I have a new video. Meaning, I have to tweak size and position, I would like to just drop that mask into any video file
Thank you so much for your input. I realize it's best to do it while shooting I was mostly concerned other people's videos that I was editing if I could make them look better by blurring the background some within the program. Thanks so much for your input.
@@PDU_Tutorials that is not working. Everytime I click save as it says you cannot save a template with a video file in it. I am trying to do better box for a lot of clips, and copying keyframe attributes is failing to transfer the letterbox.
Can you create a video mask for ONLY the PIP portion of the video or must I open the video clip that I want to use in the PIP, create the mask and save the video. Then open the main video and add the PIP (with the mask created)? THANKS GREAT videos, learn a lot!
It's just a video clip with a transparent background (alpha channel). You can get them from stock footage websites, or make your own using a video compositor like HitFilm, After Effects, or Motion. Once you have the clip just add it to a timeline track like any other video clip and make sure it is below the track/clip that you want it to appear over.
Hi Maliek! Where are the face effects in PowerDirector 365? There is nothing in the effects room to change the age of a face. Am I missing something? Thank you so much for all you do!
is it possible to mask multiple video clips at the same time? When i updated my powerdirector to 19, a video i was working on that had a circle mask on it that i used as a PiP clip. The circle mask went away and now i have to reapply the circle mask to each individual clip i edited throughout the video. Is there not a way for me to make that mask edit for ALL of those clips at once? Thanks for reading if you see this
@@PDU_Tutorials, I'm watching every video I can. I got a guy who says he can create videos with Windows Movie Maker just as good as I can. I want to prove him wrong by getting as educated with the software as I can. Please keep these awesome tutorials coming!
If you create a mask in any version prior to 19 it will create an image (even if you use video). If you have 19 Ultimate you can create a custom mask that you can keyframe. You commented on that video a few weeks ago. th-cam.com/video/EGwvJNfHZSU/w-d-xo.html

@@neelnarlawar Not sure how it knows. It creates a mask based on the image you provide. The simpler the image the better the results.

How do multiple masks work? I was playing with this feature earlier and I noticed you can do multiple masks. But they don't seem to be doing anything. Can you shed some light on this? What do mask 1 mask 2 and mask 3 etc refer to? Any information would be awesome
@@PDU_Tutorials first off, thank you sincerely for responding. Secondly, no, i mean in the mask designer, at the bottom of the left hand side there's a red rectangle and " mask 1" beside it. You can add up to 5 masks apparently, but only the first mask appears to be doing anything. I got a green dot for mask 2 and a blue dot for mask 3 but only mask 1 seems to be doing anything. I figure theres something I'm not understanding. For clarity; I'm using powerdirector 365. I will check your link and see if it helps, though i suspect its not quite what I'm referring to.
@@R.H160 I'm not familiar with that feature and I won't be on my PC today so not sure when I'll be able to look into it. You can ask on the PowerDirector forum and you'll probably get a response today.

How do you make the mask stay in a fixed position while the picture position moves? Currently I have to create keyframes for the mask to move in opposite directions to the picture so that the edge of the mask stays in its positon on the screen. For example, my current project has three angles of a dancer. I have the screen split/masked into thirds - each third is showing a different angle of the dancer. I use PiP keyframes to keep the dancer centred in each section. But the masks are fixed to the picture... so the masks also move and cover the centre section. So I have to make motion keyframes for the mask.... which is tricky..... more than doubling the work. I thought there should be a checkbox of some sort to "hold" the masks in place so they do not follow the picture.
PowerDirector University ZPIP designer? I have PD16. I manually position the video/picture so that the subject stays centred in the section of the screen where I want it (and two other “angle” shots of the same subject positioned in their respective sections of the screen.). So we are looking at three versions of the same action fro three different angles. So I have masked off each layer so that the others are visible. Obviously the subject moves.....so I have keyframed motion of each picture. The mask move with the picture in real time.....so I have to reposition the masks in real time.
@@PDU_Tutorials Hey Man. Thanks for your answer. But are you reading what I write? I AM using PiP designer keyframes to move my video frame. The problem is not the video motion. The problem is the the mask moves with the video frame. I want the mask to be stationary (in the mask designer window) so the video frame moves under it - independently. Cheers and PowerDirector love
Alan Beasy You said you were using PiP keyframes. When I asked if you were using PiP Designer you responded with a ? as if you did not know what PiP Designer was. I’m not sure how to keep things aligned if you’re already using PiP Designer. Have you tried asking on the PowerDirector forum to see if anyone else has had this issue and found a solution? forum.cyberlink.com/forum/forums/list/ENU.page
I can't find a Brush Mask Designer in my PowerDirector 16. I've seen your videos of this function in both PowerDirector 15 and 17. Can you help me with this function with PowerDirector 16? Thanks
Can you use key frame to control the speed for the clip you create in paint designer? It is always play slow at first and super fast at the end by default.
Hi Malik, I've been using PowerDirector for several years, various upgrades. now I'm thinking of the 365 suite. Mostly because I want the latest, but also because I find CyberLink sales updates so confusing. However, when I clicked on your link the website also shows other products including PowerDirector 17 Ultra. It doesn't distinguish between PowerDirector 17 (as in 365) and POwerDirector 17 Ultra. Do you know if there's a difference? I'm also asking Cyberlink this question, but don't know if they will answer. Thanks! Love your videos - a big part of why I chose PowerDirector.
@@PDU_Tutorials @PowerDirector University That's what I want... to save the mask so that I can apply it to some other clips. But when it gave me that warning it didn't give me an option to name it even though I'd pressed 'save as', so I don't think that it allowed me to save even the mask.
@@PDU_Tutorials When I drew one once it saved that. But this is one that I altered from one of the default ones, I don't know if this makes a difference regarding saving it.
#INeedMoreMaskLove Yo, Malik I shot a video with a talent that had on a wireless mic. I want to mask it, or is it possible to erase the mic from her shirt? BTW the talent is moving around in the video.
Love the booyaka lol , PD is so fun , thank you for the tips much appreciated I always say and wondered and now the answers are given thanks to people like you helping those in need of some knowledge , because knowledge is power , time to get to work and have fun
Hey Maliek, I recently bought the subscription to Powerdirector 365 Director Suite. As I was installing my downloads from the application manager, I noticed the tab next to it that said "Add-ons". I clicked on it, and saw a lot of options and started clicking download. Then, I noticed the little "i" beside the descriptions, so I clicked on that information button to read descriptions and noticed after clicking on like 10 of them that they had prices listed on the information page. Are the add-ons in that tab (in the application manager) free with the subscription, or did I just purchase like 10 of them by mistake? - Jimmy P.S. Love the instructional videos! Very helpful!!!
You're videos have helped me so much for so long. But is there an email or something I could ask a question about with editing that's far too in-depth for a TH-cam comment? It's a question Involving a moving chroma key, motion tracking and possibly masking. I've yet to see anyone do a video on specific question but I think you would be the only person that would know how to do it
Sorry I don't answer editing questions via email. If you don't want to ask questions here you can ask on my Facebook Users group facebook.com/groups/252535418553355/ or on the powerDirector Forum forum.cyberlink.com/forum/forums/show/173.page.
PowerDirector University ok I’m sorry I didn’t finish watching. I will I promise. Thanks so much I’m very excited about this cool stuff. This program has so much I haven’t even tried. If it wasn’t for your channel I wouldn’t even have kept it. It’s kinda hard to use but I gotta learn more. Thanks
Question to all : Is it possible to get titles moving through screen like on news on something, and mask ends of it so it does not appear on edges of screen, but "marerializes" bit by bit some distance from the edge? in PD 16 i could not make dissapear text fluently, but whole words at once, and writing letter by letter would be a pain. Is title designer even capable of such thing? Maybe im left with paint net for the task only, so i'd have to limit text length. I hope i make sense. Edit: And there goes like for video. :)
I no longer have PD 12 so I'm not aware of which tools it has and if you can or cannot remove the background. You can try asking on the PowerDirector forum. Maybe someone there has PD 12. The link to the forum is on my channel under the About section.
Thanks for another excellent tutorial. And thanks for your amazingly speedy reply to my question about purchasing DS 365 while still keeping DS 6 on my computer!

@@lenamariyajohnson7514 please use the tutorial request form in the video description and I might do it. Doubt it though since it is soooooo basic. Just 2 mouse clucks
for God sake, will you please mention that "Motion detector" is not available in Mac version and the video you are doing is for Windows user, i was banging my head against the wall for few days scorching the whole internet for an answer where can i find motion detector in power director ?
This video was made in 2018. There was no Mac version in 2018. I did not have a crystal ball so there was no way to know that there would even be a Mac version 3 years later that didn’t have the same features as the Windows version.
Go to DirectorZone and look for templates or FX, go to CyberLink site and purchase add-ons, or purchase Director Suite 365 using the link in the video description.
Well, you've helped me again, so to return the favour... You used "Booyaka" in the right way, it's an equivalent of 'Boom!' when something goes well. Some say it's to emulate the sound of a gun fired in celebration of a good outcome.
You can mask a video using the templates in the Mask Designer. If you want to Custom Mask a video you have to use ColorDirector. Hopefully they add that feature to PowerDirector in the future. th-cam.com/video/5cJRt8uffUE/w-d-xo.html

Gabe Gabe The create brush tool is on PD 17 and later versions. The tutorial is for PD 17.
Hi Malik, I've been using PowerDirector for several years, various upgrades. now I'm thinking of the 365 suite. Mostly because I want the latest, but also because I find CyberLink sales updates so confusing. However, when I clicked on your link the website also shows other products including PowerDirector 17 Ultra. It doesn't distinguish between PowerDirector 17 (as in 365) and POwerDirector 17 Ultra. Do you know if there's a difference? I'm also asking Cyberlink this question, but don't know if they will answer. Thanks! Love your videos - a big part of why I chose PowerDirector.
Click on the link for Director Suite 365.
If you pick PD 17 Ultra you're just getting the regular product, not the subscription.
Is the function "create a brush mask" also available in power director 16 Ultimate? Cause I dont find it there
It came out with 17.
@@PDU_Tutorials Hmm ok thx
Hi 🤗 I like your videos thanks
Hi. You're welcome.
Hmm. I've a question? How do you remove a mask? Or do I need to start with a new picture
How can we use the same mask settings for another clip? It won't let me save it with a video file in it. Thank you.
It will only save the mask, not the video file.
@@PDU_Tutorials @PowerDirector University That's what I want... to save the mask so that I can apply it to some other clips. But when it gave me that warning it didn't give me an option to name it even though I'd pressed 'save as', so I don't think that it allowed me to save even the mask.
@@angelkaterose It will save it. Look in your available masks on the left of the screen and it will be there
@@PDU_Tutorials Unfortunately it's not showing up there if I press either save or save as.
@@PDU_Tutorials When I drew one once it saved that. But this is one that I altered from one of the default ones, I don't know if this makes a difference regarding saving it.
That is so informative. I've learned a lot. Thanks bro!
You’re welcome.
Can you do masking one frame at a time in PowerDirector?
No
@@PDU_Tutorials ok thanks
I was thinking of those smooth frame blocking transitions seen on a lot of TH-cam videos
Thank you so much for your efforts!
You’re welcome.
you are the best reviewer
a lot of useful information
Thank you!!!!!
I'm trying to figure out how to do a moving mask though. Anyone know where I can do that?
#INeedMoreMaskLove
Yo, Malik I shot a video with a talent that had on a wireless mic. I want to mask it, or is it possible to erase the mic from her shirt? BTW the talent is moving around in the video.
Not if they are moving around.
@@PDU_Tutorials damn guess I got to use the motion tracker and blur it. thanks
@@MoneMedia You’re welcome.
hello! i was doing a mask but something going wrong and suddenly a small green line appears on the timeline....what is this?
You turned on render preview. th-cam.com/video/62Lt-1LMpUg/w-d-xo.html
This is crazy 🤪, I can custom the mask shape for the video. And the last part tutorial is great too,it's a nice story teller present way.
Thank you.
Your tutorials are really very helpful to me.
Thanks a bunch 👍
You’re welcome.
Love the booyaka lol , PD is so fun , thank you for the tips much appreciated I always say and wondered and now the answers are given thanks to people like you helping those in need of some knowledge , because knowledge is power , time to get to work and have fun
Yes! Thanks for your awesome comments. I hope you have lots of fun using the program.
Why the emojis are on the mobile app but not the computer software. I been looking for it maybe I'm just over looking it.
Good question. You'd have to ask CyberLink why they made that decision. I can't tell you that. 😞
@@PDU_Tutorialsok thanks I guess I have to find a way to download some to my computer
Ghosting-so cool! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Can you teach us how to edit broll in power director 16
The same way as you edit A roll. The key is how you shoot b roll.
Hey Maliek,
I recently bought the subscription to Powerdirector 365 Director Suite. As I was installing my downloads from the application manager, I noticed the tab next to it that said "Add-ons". I clicked on it, and saw a lot of options and started clicking download. Then, I noticed the little "i" beside the descriptions, so I clicked on that information button to read descriptions and noticed after clicking on like 10 of them that they had prices listed on the information page.
Are the add-ons in that tab (in the application manager) free with the subscription, or did I just purchase like 10 of them by mistake?
- Jimmy
P.S. Love the instructional videos! Very helpful!!!
If you don't have to provide payment info to download them they are free.
@@PDU_Tutorials Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Is there a way of having text go behind an object in powerdirector? I've tried a combination of motion capture and masking but can't get it to work :(
If you place an image or video with a transparent background beneath the track with the title it will show up in front of the title.
You're videos have helped me so much for so long. But is there an email or something I could ask a question about with editing that's far too in-depth for a TH-cam comment? It's a question Involving a moving chroma key, motion tracking and possibly masking. I've yet to see anyone do a video on specific question but I think you would be the only person that would know how to do it
Sorry I don't answer editing questions via email. If you don't want to ask questions here you can ask on my Facebook Users group facebook.com/groups/252535418553355/ or on the powerDirector Forum forum.cyberlink.com/forum/forums/show/173.page.
@@PDU_Tutorials will do, thank you
Thanks again for another great tutorial Maliek
👍🏾
I have version 15 and it doesn’t have the crest image mask. How do I do this in 15? Thanks Love this stuff.
Booyaka!! Love it lol
If it doesn't have it you'll have to use the brush mask to make it.
PowerDirector University I’m not sure how but ok
I show how to use the brush mack in this video.
PowerDirector University ok I’m sorry I didn’t finish watching. I will I promise. Thanks so much I’m very excited about this cool stuff. This program has so much I haven’t even tried. If it wasn’t for your channel I wouldn’t even have kept it. It’s kinda hard to use but I gotta learn more. Thanks
No problem.
thx finally i can now use round corners in my youtube videos
You’re welcome.
Can this be done in Power Director 16, and if so, HOW???
Haven't used 16 in years. If the options shown in this video are in 16 it can be done, if not, it can't.
Question to all : Is it possible to get titles moving through screen like on news on something, and mask ends of it so it does not appear on edges of screen, but "marerializes" bit by bit some distance from the edge?
in PD 16 i could not make dissapear text fluently, but whole words at once, and writing letter by letter would be a pain.
Is title designer even capable of such thing?
Maybe im left with paint net for the task only, so i'd have to limit text length.
I hope i make sense.
Edit: And there goes like for video. :)
Yes. I'll be making a tutorial in the coming months
@@PDU_Tutorials Thank you.
EnilionVeno You’re welcome.
Good vidéo , i love powerdirector
Thank you.
Please, How to remove Backgroung in Power Director 12?
I no longer have PD 12 so I'm not aware of which tools it has and if you can or cannot remove the background. You can try asking on the PowerDirector forum. Maybe someone there has PD 12. The link to the forum is on my channel under the About section.
@@PDU_Tutorials which power director is best to remove background?
@@Mratlinn PowerDirector 20
Thanks for another excellent tutorial. And thanks for your amazingly speedy reply to my question about purchasing DS 365 while still keeping DS 6 on my computer!

Thank you so much for your tutorials, can I make a request? Could you make a tutorial on Transparent Titles, for PowerDirector 16. I would love you forever if you did. Thanks!
Request form is in the video description
How to ad mask leyer
Once the Mask is created apply it to the timeline and it creates a new track with the mask on it.
@@PDU_Tutorials please uplod a videos how to add mask leyar pleassssss
@@lenamariyajohnson7514 please use the tutorial request form in the video description and I might do it. Doubt it though since it is soooooo basic. Just 2 mouse clucks
@@PDU_Tutorials Please post that video soon
One of my biggest wishes is ok
@@PDU_Tutorials I do not have a mask layer in my powerdirector
Love ur videos
Thank you so much!
Can you do a video about masking a object in video using 17 please
Please use the tutorial request form in the video description. 😊
tNice tutorialng ♂️. And I haven't used soft so
Glad you like it
for God sake, will you please mention that "Motion detector" is not available in Mac version and the video you are doing is for Windows user, i was banging my head against the wall for few days scorching the whole internet for an answer where can i find motion detector in power director ?
This video was made in 2018. There was no Mac version in 2018. I did not have a crystal ball so there was no way to know that there would even be a Mac version 3 years later that didn’t have the same features as the Windows version.
I need more FX
I HAVE PD 15
SUGGEST me what I do....
Go to DirectorZone and look for templates or FX, go to CyberLink site and purchase add-ons, or purchase Director Suite 365 using the link in the video description.
Do you have any videos on masking text that has motion? #Ineedmoremasklove
No I don't
@@PDU_Tutorials Is is possible to have masking text in zoom motion?
PropertyGuys West Kootenay Probably, I haven’t tried it
love this tutorial!
Thank you.

Gabe Gabe What about PD 18?

Gabe Gabe PD 18 has the Brush mask. No need for the 360 subscription

I guess so.
Saturday all over again.
Here we go again!!!!
Boyacá is a city in Colombia. It also means "Here I go."
Here I go!!!!!
@@PDU_Tutorials Not true. Here I go is two words in Spanish: Voy acá - notice the v instead of b also.
@@GarciaPics #Teach
Well, you've helped me again, so to return the favour... You used "Booyaka" in the right way, it's an equivalent of 'Boom!' when something goes well. Some say it's to emulate the sound of a gun fired in celebration of a good outcome.
Thanks for clearing that up!
You were predicting the future about the masks, huh? What are tomorrow's lottery numbers, please? 🤑💰

#ineedmoremasklove trying to overlay a photo onto a video
can you mask a video? not an image
You can mask a video using the templates in the Mask Designer. If you want to Custom Mask a video you have to use ColorDirector. Hopefully they add that feature to PowerDirector in the future. th-cam.com/video/5cJRt8uffUE/w-d-xo.html
Yeah but does it mask, like the one you did on the p.d 15 on tracking mask. Where you can use a brush
@@jasoneastwood2 No, you can mask a video using the templates in the Mask Designer.
booyaka = sound of gunshot :D
