You're providing a link to crop video clips that takes me away from a tutorial for PowerDirector 14 to Powerdirector 21. I' using PowerDirector 14 which doesn't allow me to crop the video in the way that it's possible in PowerDirector 21.
Hi Maliek, another good video man. Most "instructional" videos on YT are kind of stinky, but yours are consistently funny and informative. Keep up the good work, kind sir.
Maljek I have good news for you I'm going to tell you exactly how you can customize your window panes in power director. First detach the windows you want to move around In my case all I wanted was the preview window on the left. So very simple, I put my preview window on the left and the library to the right. I left the timeline exactly where it was. Now carefully align your panels so they're exactly the way you want them Hit the x in the upper right hand corner. Of course it will ask you if you want to save your changes click yes. Then I believe it asks you to name that. In my case I named it customized power director. I shut it all down open it back up it was customized just the way I want it each and every time. Give it a try see if it works for you. Keith Kuhn I love your channel and your energy.
Tutorials are the cringiest but I forgot to start this one on mute/CC and long story short every tutorial ever should be narrated by this guy forever kthx
Another great teaching! Thankyou. Not sure if I would ever need to use it, but if it came down to using or losing a scene, it would be a life saver. As for you people with the negative comments, think about what your doing with a digital zoom. Eventually, it spreads the pixels, and decreases sharpness. A lot of things in this is give and take. PDP is the least expensive, most powerful, and biggest bang for your buck. Or, go take out a "mortgage" on Final Cut Pro and take the rest of your life to learn it. Jeeesh
Thanks for this info! I am recording some long events, which my camera parses into a handful of large files/clips. Since the camera doesn't change position or even stop recording between clips, how can I apply the exact same crop/zoom from one clip into the next, or apply the same crop/zoom to multiple clips at the same time?
I came here with the same question using version 17, but I have used various other versions for years. The best workaround I have is to set the zoom to a specific percentage and lock it in with keyframes at the start and end of the clip. When I go to the next clip, I set the same percentage and line up a corner or two on something recognizable from the end of the previous clip. Would be so much easier to be able to do this by selecting multiple clips at once.
Well I feel kind of dumb! It never occurred to me that the video crop feature was how you would do a video pan and zoom! Thank you for clearing out the cobwebs! Looking forward to the next one! - RW
No, they have a type of hyperzoom transition built into PD 17. I use it in my newer videos when I go from a live shot to the software. 43 seconds into this video th-cam.com/video/vEw9cVxP_Ng/w-d-xo.html
Thx for the tutorial. Works great for videos. Currently I try to zoom into a detail of a vertical picture, but there's no "Zoom and Crop" in the Power Tools for pictures. :-( Any hint for that?
Thank you so much...You have been very helpful...Do you have anything on the different settings for burning dvds? my camera is 4k but the dvds are less than expected.
Thank You Prof. Whitaker! I should've looked up this excellent training video before I wasted a couple of hours trying to figure this out by myself (*blush blush*)!
Your tutorials are VERY VERY helpful. I am new to using cyberlink PowerDirector and your videos have helped me so much. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Very easy to follow and understand that it makes me feel like I've been using it for years. Can you do a tutorial on the Audio Mixing Room. I started doing gaming tutorials where my recorded video has game sound and I got a mic to add voice over commentary. I'd like to be able to adjust the volume of the game sound vs my voice over commentary.
+PowerDirector University Yes Thank You very much. I have edited a lot of my son's hockey game videos and with the help of your tutorials they continually improve. Like Jesus M. I have started messing around with lowering the background noise and adding in my own background music. But I am a little confused on weather i should be lowering the dB from within PowerDirector or using these WaveEditors. Also having to go to each individual clip and lowering the dB manually makes me think there must be an easier way that i could reduce all the clips to the same sound level without having to do each clip at a time. Thanks Again.
Aw, Maliek, You have an updated one of these? I'm on the current version (18? essentials?), It is all sorts of different. I can't make this video work. Gave you a thumbs up anyway, because you are so good to me! keep it up, please
Thank you for the video. Do. You know how to zoom in on a PIP video? It seems that the zoom / pan tools aren't available when the video is PIP (in PD 15 Ultimate). Thanks in advance for your help.
The scale and position tools used to a PIP are the same tools that are used to zoom in or out. Use keyframes to control the zoom. You can use them to make the PIP static for a certain amount of time and then start your zoom to fill in the screen. If you need help with using keyframes watch my Hw to use keyframes video.
In effect yes. Create two keyframes, one just a few frames after the other, and zoom to your intended crop level (degree and position). Save, then delete the initial "un-cropped" element. I've tried this (PD15) and it works for me. NOTE: You WILL lose resolution, so it's best to ensure your original video source is pretty high-res. (e.g. 4K), and be as minimalist in your cropping as possible, otherwise image graininess becomes noticeable.
Go to PIP Designer and change the scale to make it larger. Then you can pan in different directions. You can also click on the clip in the preview window and use the nodes to make it larger.
Your tutorials are better than the one I paid for. I do notice that some of the 15 tutorials use some different directions than 14. Like "designer" instead of "motion". What's up?
So when you "crop" it is the same thing as Zoom? I just want to crop out a section of the video and keep the image quality the same. Instead it is still "zooming" and I am losing quality...
Maliek the tutorials you make are amazing. I need help with this I hope you could help me out. While doing this start keyframe is visible but the end keyframe is not visible on my screen. Due to this the grey line showing zoom in is not visible. Is there any solution to this?
Thank you for the compliment. Can you provide a screen shot of your issue on the PowerDirector Users FB page or the PowerDirector Forum? That way I can see what you're referring to.
+BurnoutInc Just place your playhead right next to the last keyframe and select duplicate previous keyframe. Then drag the last keyframe to the left and drag the new keyframe to the last position. Then you can remove the keyframe that used to be the last keyframe. Basically you need to replace it then you can remove it.
Hi! Great Video! I noticed that this video is based on the PowerDirector version 14. I'm currently using version 22 and see that the program is set up a little differently than the previous versions. I'm curious to know if there's a way to access the keyframes to zoom in on a project given the new update? Best
PowerDirector University Your videos are great but I still have 1 question, How do you add png things like if you want a thumbs up but want to put it over your video gameplay and how do you put a subscribe button on the screen.
I've edited a lot of videos (more than 600 in another program) and like PowerDirector EXCEPT I'm not finding a lot of help for PD 365. This tutorial for PD 14 shows different screens. I'm sure pan / crop / zoom in PD 365 is easy - once you know how it works. LOL Can you please provide some info on how to pan / crop / zoom in PD 365? Thank you.
hey, great video tutorial! thinking of getting power director. wondering if it's possible to zoom in, and track an object to stay zoomed on that object. Do you have a video of that already?
That can be done. This video shows how to do that. All you have to do is duplicate the keyframe after you zoom in and place it all the way at the end of the clip.

Hi Maliek. You've got very helpful videos. Just started using PowerDirector.
This tutorial video shows how to zoom in or out within a video clip. Is there a way to zoom in or out from one video clip to another, like a transition effect? Thanks in advance.
Yes, it is done manually, and most of the setup is based on how you shoot the footage. I plan on doing a tutorial in the coming months.
