Maliek, you have been a great help with all the home videos I have made over the years using Power Director. Thank you!
You’re welcome. Happy to help.
Right up my street, You're very knowledgeable and I've learned hell of a lot from you, thank you
You’re welcome.
Thank you very much for your instruction.
Helped me at great extent.
Thank you very much again.
You’re welcome.
The force and the knowledge is indeed with you, sir.
LOL! Thanks +Geoffrey Barry
more gold - thanks
Man. You saved my life once again. Thank you 😃
thanhs for the lesson
Love all your videos. Went from buying PowerDirector 14 Ultimate and regretting it because I understood nothing, to watching a few of your videos and understanding it within no time. you're such a huge help, thank you!
Wow, I appreciate the kind words. Thanks.
The differences are really interesting!
+Memory Lane Videos yes. Some parts are way easier in PD, and some parts are way easier in PS. I like the flexibility that PS allows with 3D Editor CPU. It opens up things for other visual effects.
Great Video
My pleasure!
Another simple and easy but awesome video by Da man
I thank you heartily. Your explanation of the above captions, very helpful.
Glad you found the video helpful.
I found thanks to your help.
But that did not solve the problem. The subtitles went up and stopped when they reached the top.
I had to reduce the subtitles so that they could enter the frame.
THANKS FOR THIS TUTORIAL ONCE AGAIN.
Just bought Power director 14 ultimate and your videos are a great help, just want to say thank you. Wanted to learn time lapse and you help me a lot there too.
+Patrick Cameron Thanks for watching. :-)
very good lesson I learned
Great job once again! You ROCK!
+John Astrello Thanks.
Thanks for this. I'll probably use it eventually. I hope to see more content as time goes on. One thing to add if I may: when trying to match lengths of tracks, I find accurate to select the track with the desired length, hit the end key to jump to the end of the clip, click the clip you with to crop/split, then hit the split button. This jumps the red line to the exact position needed to split. Then you can delete the undesired content. My apologies if this was already common knowledge...
You're a life saver as always Malik!
Thanks!
Thanks for always helping me out bro.
You’re welcome.
Maliek! u da Man! Thanks!!
Great tutorial. Your videos are always real informative.
+JustGoBrandon Thank you for watching.
Your videos are GREAT and very thorough. Thanks for the help and keep up the good work. :)
Thank you.
Another awesome tutorial by d'man
Thumbs!
+TripleThreatRC Thanks. :-)
Amazing!!!
+Thomas Sulcer Thank you!
I love your content...keep at it!!!
Thank you.
Hahahahahahahaha!
Just created my own crawl Title per instructions! (PD15 Ultimate)
GREAT Tutorial.
Thanks!
(and yes, I added the "If you can read this....." homage to Space Balls....)
LOVE IT!!!!!
Great video's, very entertaining and educational.
Thank you.
👏👏👏👌
Hey! I just wanted to say thank you for making these awesome powerdirector videos! I only have 13 but you make your videos so easy to understand and your personality makes it fun and easy to watch!!!! New subscriber here!!! Keep up the awesome work!!
+KELVIN SMINGUS Wow! I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad that my efforts are bringing some fun and knowledge to the PD peeps out there. :-)
Hey don't thank me brother! I really enjoy the content!!!! Thanks for replying!!!
May the thumbs be with you!
Thanks! 😃
I found the cute typewriter clip template,where you can write a small bit of text on the little slip of paper, and then I found the template that sounds like actual typing on a typewriter template, but I can't figure out how to get the download into my Power Director--I'm trying to make a new intro for YT. I'm also new to Power Director and have been watching your videos. Is there a simple video that shows how to edit a video (for example, where you edit out things like "um's" and pauses)?
Love your videos, they're so helpful.
eyyy lit lit gang gang
Great tutorial. I've learned a lot from your videos on power director. I have Pd 13 I don't know if 13 has the features you showed in your video, guess I'll have to see. You do great job of explaining your tutorials through visual and explanation you teach at a laymen level. Keep up the great video's.(have been subscribed awhile)
+Jeff Smith Thanks for watching and subscribing Jeff. Most of the basic features (titles, etc.) have not changed in PD over the last 6 or 7 versions.
Thanks for the help
speaking of star wars it would be amazing, like unicorns farming rainbows amazing, if you showed us how to do lightsaber effects!
Yoooooo dude you got the same name as me malik awesome and i use this app its pretty good
😄
Really enjoyed this video and was successful in my practise of it. Question: I want to purchase this software but can i use it on more than one pc? also does it expire?
You can use it on 2 machines at once.
love these tutorials. they Help out sooo much! I've been trying to figure out if there is a way to make multiple video clips glide across the screen (vertically or horizontally)
+Toney E Bring a video to the time line, click on Modify, and click on Motion
+PowerDirector University
great! Thanks!
You're welcome.
awesome video and tutorial. I wanted to know how you got your name to show at the beginning of your videos. Is that done in PD as well?
I created the lower third using Adobe After Effects. Then brought it into PD to edit along with the rest of my clips.
There are Lower Thirds available in the Title Room in PD and you can download more from the Director Zone for free.
EXCELLENT yayyyyyy
Thank you I was going out of my mind trying to figure this out.
What video editor do you use to be able to draw the arrows and to have the screen detach like at the beginning of the star wars clip at the end of the tutorial?.
P.s the starfield link says Not found...any clues?
I used PowerDirector PIP Designer to make it look like the preview screen detached from the program. I use my screen recorder to add the arrows. It is called Camtasia.
wow Camtasia thats an expensive software?
Thanks for the help though.
I've seen a couple of your PD video and like the way you show how to use PD. PD is my new video editing program, replacing Corel Videostudio X6 after it for some unknown reason just stopped working.
+travelingman21000 Thanks
Can you make the Star Wars scoll in the free version? Also, can you work with green and. Blue screen effects.
Thank you, I have the text working fine, but I want a jpeg to also scroll in a similar fashion after the text..any thoughts ?
Watch my Title Designer tutorial
Very good tutorial.
At the end of the tutorial you have the smaller window of the scrolling text grow and take up the entire screen. Do you have a tutorial on how to do that?
Lastly, I have seen you fast forward the speed of the video, like when you are editing the text in Notepad. Do you have another tutorial where you show how to do this?
I don't have a tutorial on it but this one should help. th-cam.com/video/7cmR5AI-NMU/w-d-xo.html
The speed tutorial is here. th-cam.com/video/qhIIkqdtRe0/w-d-xo.html
Quick questio n?? Think you could do a tutorial on adding custom fonts to PowerDirector and also a few more tutorials on making amazing title intros???? PLEASE AND THANKS FOR WHAT YOU ALREADY DO!! YOU ARE THE BEST!
I make my intros using Adobe After Effects so I don't do tuts on that. Adding a font is as simple as adding it to your computer, once it is on your computer it is in PowerDirector. Most font websites tell you how to install the fonts on your computer.
+PowerDirector University thank you very much
I want to know how to convert a normal video into a vr video using cyberlink powerdirector
Love the video, but is there anywhere selling just the starfield effect? Seems the website only shows packages?
Not that I know of.
Hey Brother, You came up in my research and I decided to purchased PD 14 because of your great videos. Your content has been super useful for helping to get me started. In the spirit of Starwars I was wondering If you could make a tutorial on how to do a lightsaber or lazer gun in PD 14. I know its possible adobe and Corel. So I'm assuming its possible on Powerdirecter, however your the only guy really putting advanced content out for Powerdirector. You don't have a video for how to make lightsaber on Powerdirecter and neither does anyone else right now.
+eli parker Not sure it can be done. I'll have to look around to see if it has the right effects. The issue is that PD has never had an effect to add the correct type of light to the laser or light saber image. If it has it I can do it, if not, I can't.
Awesome thanks for responding! I know in coral you can use the lightning effect and adjust it through each frame. In Adobe you can cut out and highlight objects. Which I know is also possible in power director 14. I just have no idea how because the one tutorial I found for that was in German so not very helpful.
Hey man, you know that if you select a clip and drag the overhead scrubber to the end then select the clip you want to split and press ctrl T your split will be precise to the frame, rather than just eyeballing it. Just though you should know.
+Robert C. Yep. Thanks for sharing.
can you scroll an image also with the same perspective as the text?
Not that I know of. You'd have to use keyframes and the PIP designer to make the image scroll.
Hi Maliek,
Great videos but could you please explain or show how you used
PowerDirector PIP Designer to make it look like the preview screen detached from the program, I've looked and looked and as i'm new to this can't figure out how to do it, please help.
Use nodes to size the PIP to fit the preview window, use keyframes to change the size from point a (preview window) to point b full screen. I would not do a tutorial on it as it is too specific. th-cam.com/video/7cmR5AI-NMU/w-d-xo.html
Always love what you do with the channel keep it coming, got some questions.
1. Is it possible to dowload music videos or movie clips to your editing when making a video if only using the ten seconds rule or will it get flagged.
2. If its possible how? Reason for asking is I've been watching other vlogs where people are put small clips in to spice up their vlogs.
+shanard tilson Anytime you use a video that is not part of the public domain that someone can claim the rights to, you run the risk of getting a copyright strike. I stay away from stuff like that. I only use clips that I own or have the rights to use.
If you still want to do it this video shows you how to download TH-cam videos. th-cam.com/video/-OyVZ5Kh19Q/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the info keep doing your thing 👍
You're welcome. :-)
hi maliek, great video. if i wanna put my star wars crawl between two clips in another video, how do i do?
JMM Make Title narrower in the title designer and place it on the track. Use PIP designer to change the width of the other two clips and position them to the left and right of the title
Meliek, How do you inset a still photo into a video and not affect the audio? Thanks for your help...
+Ronald Shockley Not sure i know what you mean. You can insert a pic anywhere and it should not change the audio. You should post your issue to the PD forum and include a screen shot of what you are talking about. You need to register with the forum so you can post your questions and screenshot. forum.cyberlink.com/forum/forums/show/152.page
Is it possible to make lightsaber effekts in powerdirector 14 ultimate? When yes, could you make a toutorial please that would be awsome.
Fantastic video up there as always.
+Nici Biembacher1 I already tried making the effect but it looked horrible. Wouldn't make a tutorial on anything that looked that bad.
Your videos are a great help for me in learning how to use the PowerDirector15 program. I really appreciate them!
I just paid for the Digital Juice subscription at the Pro status. When I looked and searched around in there I could not find the Star Wars soundtrack. Is this still available for download, as I see you produced this video about a year ago? What is the trick to finding such a soundtrack?
Thanks and keep the videos coming!
Look up the title of the song "Cyborg Gladiator". If you can't find it that way look up the album title or look for the album title under the Legacy products section.
I did a search on digitaljuice.com with my account open and did a serch for the song title you have listed above and there was one song and several sound effects that came up, but none the well known Star Wars theme song. I cant even find the Legacy products section on the website I don't know the album title name.
Thanks in advance for the song clarification or pointing me in the direction of the Legacy products area of the website.
BTW, I did not use the Star Wars soundtrack. I used a different song. 10:23. I guess you know that since you searched it already...just making sure. Here is the song info.
Song Title: Cyborg Gladiator
Album: DigitalJuice BackTraxx 2
If you look up the album (BackTraxx 2) it might pull up all the songs for that album. To be truthful with you, the DJ search function isn't very good. If you are still unable to find the song, go to the DJ website, login, and leave a message about how you are unable to find the song. Hopefully one of the moderators will help you.
Legacy products might not come up if you don't have any Legacy products. It shows for me under the main drop down list on the left at the top of the page.
mr . I want to ask how to combine multiple videos and replace the sound of music videos with how her ?

Is that how you change the title speed to all text just drag it to the right?
+richard Palmisano Yes, the longer you make it the slower the effects will be.
Hi Maliek and company. Thanks to you I learnt a lot about PowerDirector, that's why I follow your videos.
Anyway, I have a question that probably it should be interesting for everybody.
Imagine I used chroma key and the subject sometimes moved out of green clothe. So, I would like to use mask to fix it,. Target would be a moving mask following that person, because sometimes mask needs to be big and some small.
So, is there any solution to get a moving mask for excluding some parts of white wall?

+Marc Bilbeny Vila No way to do it that I can think of in PD. More like a feature for a professional editor.
Maliek not sure if you will be able to answer the question. My problem is that when using slow motion effect on the clip it crushes my Power Director Completly, I have tried contactingn Power director But their customer support is so useless. Love your tutorials they have helped me so much in my editing
Sorry, customer support is your best bet for getting support when the program crashes. :-(
How do I add the Trade Gothic font in CyberLink PowerDirector
Add it to you PC and it will be available on PD
Hi Maliek. Like many people I'm a big fan of Star Wars and it should be great if you tell us how to make the lightsaber effect with PowerDirector. Is that possible or you need other software?
+Marc Bilbeny Vila I think I can make it happen. :-)
One problem I am having, and I know I am missing something simple here, is that the SW logo changes to block lettering as soon as I hit the Keyframe tag and it won't change back. What am I missing here? Can you help?
Brian
It shouldn't do that. Not much I can help with. Try reaching out to CyberLink for help. they have a support website and if you go to "File > Send Feedback" in the program you can reach out to them that way. www.cyberlink.com/prog/support/cs/index.do
I have power director 14. When I overclock my computer every once in wile power director stops. Why do you think this is happening. I'm getting 3.7 GH on 8 cores, I have the I75960. Maybe someone knows. If so give me a shout. Thanks
+James Sween I don't know why as I do not have experience overclocking my PC. The best place to ask this questions in the PD forum. Register for the forum and ask this question there to get the best response. forum.cyberlink.com/forum/forums/show/152.page
How do you install a custom font? I have a font I want to use that I downloaded from dafont.com but I'm not sure how to access it in powerdirector 14, or how to even open the .RAR file? Do you have a tutorial on that? Thank you!
+Lucy McKown _Download the font > Open the file > Click the Install button_. Once it is on your computer PowerDirector will recognize the font. So will *all* of you other programs that contain text capabilities.
The color for the text is Red:229 Green:177 and Blue:58 just to make it better
how do i make my own frame or pip effect or something, like the merry Christmas one you have?
+TotalAsianAA Use a photo editor. Get a picture of a frame that you like and remove the background from the frame. Export the image as a transparent .PNG and bring it into PowerDirector. The video I made for Christmas was made using Adobe After Effects. It was not made using PowerDirector.
oh ok thanks!
+PowerDirector University how do i remove the background

hi Maliek, I am recording my videos in full hd when i play the clips back the lighting and clarity is ,pretty much, perfect. The problem is happening once i render my videos (using powerdirector 14).The videos that were completely clear on both my camera play back( 70D w/ kit lense) and laptop are now noisey and yellowish when i upload them to youtube. how can i fix it if the video is perfect until rendering is complete?
+LifeStyling WithNette What does it look like in the PowerDirector preview window before you produce the video?
***** perfectly clear and everything.
Are you Producing straight to TH-cam or are you Producing a file and then going to TH-cam.com and uploading manually? If you are producing straight to TH-cam stop. Produce it to a MP4 file which should save the produced video on your computer. Then go to TH-cam.com in your browser and upload the video. Watch this video for help. th-cam.com/video/t5Eu740uBvc/w-d-xo.html
***** can i email you so i can send pictures? i just want to try to figure it out before i get a refund. And yes i do render it on my computer first
Sorry I don't do things by email. I only do TH-cam comments. If you are Producing to TH-cam, don't want to rendering the file to your computer, and can't figure it out you should try to get a refund.
interesting...my power director 14 doesn't have an alignment tool ??
I seem to not have effects perspective scrollup on my $200+program..very dissappointing
In using the Star Wars Crawl, the text is being clipped off on the left and right side. How do I correct this please?
Never mind. I figured it out. The text lines in notepad are required to be shorter.
PowerDirector University is there any way will text scroll left?
+peter garter Only if there is an option under the Motion tab.
I am working with the Star Wars Effect. I am installing a very long text file(speech). In order to install it I see that I have to install it in sections about the size/length of your example. When it is brought down into the timeline you have to make sure that you can see text in the thumbnail otherwise it is not working; you have a blank thumbnail. I have successfully installed the first three sections but I cannot remember exactly what I did. The library thumbnail on the last section does not indicate that it has any text in it. It says no data so when I when I click on it in the library while the first files indicate text. I think that you said that you do Pinnacle tutorials. I have a similar video editing program Corel Visual Studio which I can do this in. I want to move over to Power Director because of the additional features that it has. Please tell me how to accomplish what I am attempting to do in Power Director.
You asked me about this in the past and we came to a resolution that it can't be done the way you want it and to use Corel instead. Unfortunately, nothing has changed since then.
I don't want to be a nuisance but I was able to do this in the first three sections of the file that I am working on. My problem is that I don't know what I did or how to replicate it for the fourth and last section. I am not asking you to figure it out; I will just have to keep working on it until I luck up on what I did. If I luck up on it, I will let you know in the event someone else ask you this question.
OK, thanks for clarify. :-)
Okay Okay, I did it. It can be done! I will try to locate the forum and place the instructions there!
Sorry Mr. Whitaker: The submit button in the forum would not work after several attempts.
This is how to place lengthy text such as a long church sermon in power director:
Prepare your text in Notepad the length as long as you wish.
Open Power Director full length feature.
Your initial media file if a video will have to be reentered several times in order to match the final length of your long text file.
If a Jpeg, you will have to keep lengthening it or reenter it until it matches the length of your text.
Click on the icon for a new tile 2D
Open the Title Designer.
Copy your text from Notepad: Control A then Control C .
You will have to experiment with the length of the text to initially copy from Notepad. I suggest using Mr. Whitaker's tutorial length for the Title Designer as an example but you can play around with it.
Highlight the MyTile in Power Director and press delete, then Control V
Make your adjustments for font text, color, size etc.
In Object Settings uncheck Maintain Aspect Radio and adjust the size to your satisfaction in the preview window.
Save as. Give it a name starting it (1).
Bring it down to the Title Track under your video.
Click Modify to set the duration of text section. I suggest two minutes, ten sections, zero frames
You repeat this process for the next text section and keep repeating it until you have all the text copied section by section underneath your video or jpeg.
When you go back to Notepad to bring in the next section, press delete to delete the section you have previously copied into power director; it will still be highlighted.
Then copy the next section Control A, then Control C in order to bring it into The Title Designer. Start again with number nine above.
GOOD LUCK!
how doyou make your thumbnails?
+TotalAsianAA I make my thumbnails using Photoshop CS6. I use a background of the software and add a gaussian blur to it, I type the text I need, then I think of an item (video player, speakers, magnifying glass, etc.) to add that matches the theme of the video. I usually get the item from DigitalJuice.com.
Is it possible to do an updated version for PD18+?
Not sure there needs to be but you can use my tutorial request form in the video description if you want to.
@@PDU_Tutorials Can you tell me which link to click on to do so? It's not obvious to me. Thank you so much.
@@whatitmeanstome goo.gl/forms/ZO7ZKnv7bpf7uRhN2
@@PDU_Tutorials I submitted the request. I was able to figure it out along with your tutorial, but, I feel others would greatly benefit with the updated version. Thank you SO much.
@@whatitmeanstome Yeah, most people can figure things out using the old tutorials so I'm not big on doing updates. I'd have to update every tutorial I make and I only make one tutorial a week so that's not really possible.
Mu friend, how can I use ( .PNG ) photos in this program. It does not work for me, why?
It should work. It might be your version. What version of PowerDirector do you have?
Versión 14
If you try to import a .PNG image, what happens specifically?
+Justino Bermudez It depends on what program you used to create the .png image and what the export settings were. Some programs ask whether you should keep the transparency or not while others just make the .PNG background transparent automatically.
Photoshop cs6
Couldn't you also have just stretched the starfield on the time line to make it the same duration as the title?
+Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French No sir. The star field is a video clip. You can only do that with photos and titles.
+PowerDirector University - Oh ok, I didn't realise the star field was a video clip. Sorry about that.

Great tutorial... but "greenscreensystems.com has expired." Bummer, dude. 😀
Luckily PD 16 has some effects that work well enough (with some editing)
Thanks for making me aware. That page has expired but after doing some research looks like they are in the progress of changing the name to Green Screen Outlet. We'll see what happens and I'll update the link when the changes are complete.

+halaa Ahmed PowerDirtector is not a compositor like After Effects so this video can't be made using PD. You can go to the DirectorZone and see if there is an available template to use. directorzone.cyberlink.com/
did put star wars that the top and didn't use the right music xD
I don't want a copyright strike so I used royalty free music that I have a license to use in this video. See the video description.
