This is editing school for me, love how you break everything down for slow ppl like me. I watch your videos like im in class and while I'm editing
Thank you so much. I'm glad my videos are helping you learn to edit.
Me too... thats exactly what I'm doing now!
I have watched about half of this video and I am SO HAPPY to have found this. This is just the basic and thorough information I need - I am writing notes so I can reference while working on videos and trying to internalize the information so it is automatic. I really appreciate this video and look forward to viewing others as I begin to master some of the basics.
You’re welcome Mike. I'm glad you found the video useful. Hope to see you in the comments of my other videos.
My man! This is the best tutorial i have see for CPD, everything explained thoroughly and plainly, all the basics covered, and in plain simple English.
I'm new at this, and this is EXACTLY what I needed. Your presentation is exceptionally good; covering the steps in an intuitively clear manner and providing just the right amount of detail. WELL DONE!
Thank you for such an informative and quick guide!
Love it! He has connected his mouse directly to the microphone so we can clearly and precisely hear every click in living color.
Excellent Training! Clear and concise -just what I needed. Thank you
You’re welcome..Glad it was helpful!
Super job, as always. Good content, crisp pace.
I watched with interest, even though I've seen this video for previous versions of the software.
Thanks for all your help.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.
Just installed the free version of the app; loving it, but loving the intro video even more. I spent a few months with FinalCutPro about 10 years ago, and the layout of the app windows and general features and functions map nicely back to that old experience. Just makes it easy to start looking at basic video creation/authoring!! And I love the cool-brother narrator!!! He makes things easy to understand, and does so without being b.o.r.i.n.g to listen to!!!!!
PS - the closed captioning is excellent also!
This is exactly what I needed as a beginner to get started. Thanks
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful.
I always use your past playlists to learn more. You’ve covered a lot. Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome Karl.
This is great - so happy to find this - THANK YOU!! Do you have a video on highlighting/circling moving objects?
Just dropped in to say thank you for a well produced and informative video. I'm new to Power Director and you have made things look pretty straightforward and easy. This is so much better than other videos out there. Will be coming back for more tutorials...Thanks again!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. If you haven’t done so please consider subscribing for new content every week and click the bell so you don’t miss any tutorials.
Agreed!

I REALLY FOUND THIS VERY HELPFUL THANKS A LOT BRO🔥💯
Glad you liked it ✊🏾
Thanks lot 🙏🏼 this video helped me lot 💎efficient content
You’re welcome.
Excellent beginners tutorial. I'm using two versions of Power director right now; power director 365 for pc and windows and power director mobile for my chromebook. Personally, I find editing videos on my Chrome book to be a lot easier than the pc version. However, Power director 365 currently is the only version that accepts my Sony ZV-1 video settings like XAVC S and AVCHD. Also, I find that power director mobile has a lot more video and audio downloads for the paid subscription than 365 (though this might have changed now). Keep up the good work! You've definitely helped me out with understanding power director and getting the best out of video editing 👍
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the kind words. If you aren’t following my app tutorials feel free to check them out TH-cam.com/@powerdirectorapp
Nice dude
Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome.
Thank you man, I really want to trim some of my videos as some have useless scenes in fault of mine hehe, going on from minutes to even hours and this video has been very helpful, thank you man.
Glad I could help.
101 you tell ‘em how its done! Keep up the great work.
Thanks
Thank you!!
You’re welcome.
Thank you for your video. I’m starting a video podcast and this video has helped me to choose PD as my editing software. One question… does the software have the TH-cam overlays to add “subscribe” to the video? Thanks!
Wonderful job my Guy! Salute any ideas on removing green screen or background?
Thank you!
You’re welcome.
Great info thanks
You’re welcome.
This is really good your tips I haven’t tried to edit in my laptop i always do in my phone now I phone was drop it and I can’t edit this is my difficulties to use I saw your video it’s helps me thanks for this cheers
You’re welcome.
Seriously considering this as an alternative to Premiere Pro, thanks for the tutorial.
👍🏾
Good tutorial another updating tut for the new version and new subscribers
Yessir.
This is so much better than the videos that Cyberlink shares. Thanks so much. I wish they made it as clear as you do.
You’re welcome.
I'm thinking of either upgrading my current video editor (Pinnacle Studio) or switching to something like PowerDirector. Videos like this are more helpful to me than a typical review video, because it gives me a good idea what using the software will actually be like.
Good job, and thank you.
Appreciate the kind words. If you decide to switch please consider purchasing through one of my links to support the channel.

@@PDU_Tutorials Will do. Affiliate links are a easy, painless way to support content creators, so if I plan to buy something I've seen in a video, I always look for a link.
@@PDU_Tutorials And done, professor.
I'm not a fan of the subscription model, but I went with Director Suite 365. See, I'm trying to get more serious about photography and videography this year. New lenses, new camera, new jeans. I even shaved off my beard to mark this as a new kind of year for me. Part of the change is trying new tools, and since the Director Suite includes PhotoDirector, AudioDirector, and ColorDirector, it seemed like a good deal.
Yeah, I'll be eating a bit more Ramen until next payday, but as Vincent van Gogh said, "If you ain't suffering, it ain't art." 😆
@@jbennett3578 Love it. Thanks for using my link
Thanks!
Very helpful! Your pace is perfect in your videos, easy to follow.
You’re welcome.
By the way I love the videos you make.
I learned It So Fast !!!! Thanks Brotha !!!! Passport King !!!!! Philippines Yo !!! American Living In Asia .... The Choice Of Passport Kings LOL
quick side note about adding media (1:15ish), you can hit shift and highlight one to another or hit the windows key and select ones to add.
back to the video!
Hello my friend i wanted to ask how big is the Music and soundtrack opportunity on this programm? Are there also Moviesoundtracks ?
Thanks for replying.
Hey Malik...what's the software you're using to draw those red boxes to highlight the sections. Thanks
❤️ 💚💙
Satur-yay!
YES!!!
Great tutorial. I did endure some frustration, a frustration I have suffered elsewhere as well. My interface is different from the interface on the screen. I just recently downloaded PD 365 and this vid is a year old. Maybe we are working on different versions of PD 365. Not the videographer's fault. An ongoing challenge for me.
Thank you so much! this really helped me but is there a music option or an option that stops the video speed?
Not sure what you mean by Music option. You can add music by dragging it to the timeline from the media library. You can change the video speed on the timeline or by right clicking a clip and selecting Tools, video speed. I show how to change speed here. th-cam.com/video/sGn4rhnvzlw/w-d-xo.html
As with a picture, you can also cut out parts that should not be visible? e.g. the top line should not be seen...? Thanks for your answer. You do a great job!🤩
Thanks for the tutorial. I wanted to use this for editing animatics (as soon as I learn how to master in between frames and a little bit more perspective) but ever since I found out it has an AI generator feature, yeah, no, I'm fine with the free version thank you.
Hi from the UK 👍. I got into power director 2 months ago purely because of your video, excellent. I don't own any editing software, or even have a laptop less than 11 years old. I now have a £4k laptop, GoPro 11's, PDirector .... Going crazy over here. My question is, do you have any videos on slow motion editing?
Many many thanks 👍
Thanks for watching my content. Glad I had a part in your journey to creating video. Here is a slow motion tutorial. th-cam.com/video/sGn4rhnvzlw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much, truly appreciated
this video is help to me
Glad to know that it helped
can you make a video on how to do a split screen and a special effect on energy?
Heya. Can you do a tutorial on how to edit music videos, such as take a old clip and sync it with new audio, take out clips and shuffel around with additional clips while keeping all in sync with the audio, also, how to mirror a clip so it looks like a right hand guitarist is playing left handed
Excellent excellent excellent.
Have you ever used
Corel VSP Editing software ?
That is what I currently use but I may just step over to power director.
I just subscribed and hit like Plus I clicked the bell.
Keith
Thank you. No I have not used Corel VSP
@@PDU_Tutorials
I have always enjoyed
Core VSP
EVEN THOUGH IT DOES HAVE A FEW BUGS ONCE IN AWHILE.
PowerDirector came highly recommended so I figured I'd give it a shot.
I'm excited about learning it I've only had the one glitch so far.
With my audio not playing the first three four words.
Hopefully I'll get through that and things will go smooth.
I think every piece of software is going to have some glitch once in awhile.
But it is nice when things run smooth.

Malik: I hope you are doing well. This PD reminds me a LOT of Pinnacle Studio. The layouts are identical. Pinnacle has always had issues with being a resource hog. How would you rate PD compared to Pinnacle in the resource use? I appreciate you showing us the basics.
Hi Danny. Thanks or watching. All things being equal I think PD is much more resource friendly. But, it depends on what you're doing and what file types you're doing it with. Someone using mp4 1080p files might not use as many resources as someone using 6K HDR 4:2:2 apple prores files with a bunch of FX, LUTs, and transitions.
Hi can you recommend a video editing software for music videos in which i can edit length, amplify sound etc?
I would love to have it later but in some video editing, the productions took very slow to record long video on to file, on DVD discs etc. It took a day to complete it.
So does Power director very slow or faster than the other video editing software.
Hi! I have been watching your channel for a very long time and you have helped me a lot with your amazing content. Their is still one thing i wanted to ask.
When my timeline contains many video clips with a total of 60 to 90 minutes and i speed them up + bring them down to 15 minutes ( transitions , fix & enhance etc incuded ) my timeline is not very smooth.
Could you recommend me best cpu, gpu etc hardwares for best possible performance.
I am using intel core i7 10750H with 6GB Nvidia 1660Ti and 16 GB Ram.
It would help me a lot because i am comfortable with power director and i don't want to switch to other video editing softwares.
I have no idea what is best. It should be what's best for you that you can afford. I try to buy the highest quality best spec hardware that I can afford. My pc specs are here. kit.co/PDU_Tutorials/my-editing-pc
thanks Sir, your videos are very useful for... go on!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Sir, I also need gidance of book with your tutorials, pleace can tell me the best book for power director? pdf book.
You’re welcome. I recommend this book geni.us/HiTJAHt (Amazon)
Is this software on DVD Rom or is this a subscription based? I'm not interested in subscription, what's the last PD on Disc?
I feel like I should be paying you for all of this free game. We appreciate you sir!
Thank you for the kind words. If you want to support the channel you can pay as little as $4 a month here. th-cam.com/channels/j1NjLNgrF6yn_GINPcfrwQ.htmljoin
I've been cutting lots of clips out of a long video and then using "Edit Alias" to name them for easy reference. Is there also a way to move those clips into the media room? Or do I have to render each one separately? What I want to do is render them separately, but don't want to have to keep pulling the original video back to the timeline and re-cutting it. Or is there a way to only render one track while the other tracks are occupied?
I am a total noob with this. Is it possible to add a transition to audio that is not on a separate track? Not sure if that makes sense
Hi there! Do you have a video on how to make fade to black transition for powerdirector? Thanks for answering!
I have one for the PowerDirector app and the one for PC/Mac is coming out this weekend.
@@PDU_Tutorials Thanks!
Hello Sir and Powerdirector, is it possible to do a "colorgrading update" for the SMARTPHONE APP with more options like Shaddow / Highlights... please?
Thank you
Would be nice. Don't know if they will do that or not. Here is my color tutorial from my other channel where I make mobile tutorials. th-cam.com/video/gfNcX_PuYk4/w-d-xo.html
Question to anyone or everyone who can give me some insights in editing with PD ver.19. I'm a member of a paranormal investigations team and I used a Sony HD1000u to shoot in a dark rooms with Infrared beam on. i was able to see thru my LCD screen white shadows that appeared to be ghosts and one shadow even came up close to my camera lens and disappeared in thin air. When I started editing the footage, the segment when these shadows supposed to be, it seems that it did not record at all. I've tried different settings on my editing review but no luck. Does anyone have experiences in editing videos of paranormal activities?
Hello! I often work very zoomed in trying to get clips lined up just the way I want with separate audio that I have prepared and find it very annoying that the timeline visual follows the playhead as it moves out of the field of view. It basically means if I can't get the clip just right in the span of a couple seconds my field of view jumps and I have to pause and pull it back into view. I'd like for the playhead to keep moving beyond the field of view without pulling me along with it. Is there any way to stop following the playhead? I can't seem to find it in any tutorials and it's not obvious in the preferences options.
Not that I’m aware of. You can ask on the PowerDirector forum.
@@PDU_Tutorials Thanks!
Baam. Back to basics.
Yes sir!
Question.
That pie chart, that shows the used/remaining memory. Mine shows that i have 122GB used.
My question is, where is all that stored, on my computer? I have searched everywhere, and cannot find anything. And, i'm assuming, it's slowing down my computer.
can stabilize clips with it???
Hey, how do you cut the video footage in general? For example, I have 16:9 footage, but I want to go ahead and cut a small part of it and make it 1:1. For example, I recorded a screen with a camera, I want to only cut the camera from the footage and place it somewhere else when I edit the video
split the clip at the beginning and end where you want it. Right click and select copy. Place play head where you want to insert the copied clip. Right click and select paste. If you want yo only have a part of that image you can then crop the image so that only part of the footage is shown.
I'm hoping you can help me. I download the scrolling text template and import it into my power director but it doesn't show in the text room. Why is that? Thanks Stan
Hi, is there an option to just have the video track and not the audio track? When i want the audio i can just track the audio and put it there. Thank you
Yes, when I show how to add/remove tracks there is an option to include or not include an audio track.
