This is the best tutorial I have seen on TH-cam - period!
Wow! Thank you so much.
Love your energy!
Thank you.
very helpful! thank you!
D2R7 You’re welcome.
Another good tutorial here even though I have no 4k videos to edit.
I just bought a 4K camera and will most likely need this video in the future. Thanks for breaking it all down once again!
You're welcome!
Excellent video, thanks for posting. I was already aware of the shadow files (which can take hours to generate), but your last method is a new one to me, such a simple but effective solution.
Glad you find it useful. It could take a considerable amount of time to create all of the lower resolution files as well.
True. My PC is a decent spec, i7 5930k, gtx 980ti, 16gb 2400, etc. It copes fine with the huge 4K files my drones create... until I add transitions or fx; then things slow down considerably until shadow files are ready.
Thanks this is really useful.I have uploaded some really jerky footage in the past because I was unable to edit 4k properly.
great tips! thanks!!!
You're so welcome!
just what i needed thanks
You're welcome.
Great Video , your tips help me a lot , I have been using PowerDirector15 but will need to upgrade to Ultimate 17 for my 4K HDR Videos .Keep up the great work .Love your videos man , very helpful.
Thank you.
Very cool trick with renaming files, I was using it for something else, just add another good use for it
Thank You very much. very good tip.
Noble World You’re welcome
Thankyou for this I never knew you can shadow file I'm gonna try this in my next video it's a 👍's up from me.
Great ...again !thanks Bro!
😊
Thank you so much for this! I film with my GoPro at 2K but can film at 4K, which I have tried before but always get the same error when using PD14. Can wait to film another YT video and try these solutions that you have shown us and fingers crossed I will then be able to film and upload in 4K. Thank you again, cheers Alan
You just fixed a headache. I usually shoot and edit in 1080 with no probs but recently shot 4K on my iPhone and hit a brick wall in the edit. Though the proxy was selected I didn’t know about the yellow and green markers.. You just saved me running out to buy a new computer. Oh and I subscribed- thanks.
One of the most helpful videos so far. The difference was immediate on how quickly I could edit, Thank You! I don't know if it's been covered before but am finding that PD16 can recode my GoPro Hero 6 4K 60fps, h.265 videos to h.264 without any loss of resolution.
4K 4 sure❗
Just finished the PowerDirector 16 play list - on to PowerDirector 17 play list.
I'm learning so much from each tutorial. 🅰️➕👍
Great to hear! Thanks for watching.
What if no yellow/green icon shows up in the lower left corner after Shadow Files is enabled? (PD16, using a 4K 60fps video)
Genius.
excellent!!!! after a whole morning edit with 4K, i fully understand this tour is soooooooooooooooooooo much professional and smart! i am going to give a try tonight! the last step of name changing, like a magic to me, how could it be possible?
WOW Mind blowing
😄
Hey Maliek. Cheers for the tutorial. Love the way you converted those files to lower resolution, edited your video, then fooled Power Director into taking back the 4K clips into the finished project. The only thing I hate about genius solutions, is that I didn't think of it myself! LOL. You rock, Buddy. A thumbs up & subscribe to You.
Tom FlaTTop Appreciate the kind words and the sub. I’m sure you come up with plenty of great ideas. 😀
G'day Maliek. Cheers for your reply. Thought you might be interested in some info on this tutorial.....My PC was custom built about 5 months ago to the highest standard I could afford for Video Editing/Gaming, with an Intel Quad Core i7 - 7700K Processor, high end NVIDIA graphics & sound cards, and beefy PSU. I use it for Motor Racing/Flight Simulators and HD video editing, and it's always been fantastic at handling these resource intensive tasks. I use PowerDirector 16 and there was never any issue editing & rendering HD video from Motorcycling video footage recorded on my previous budget priced HD Action Cam. Was recently able to upgrade to a previously unaffordable GoPro, when I found a family who bought a Hero 5 Black a year ago, never used it, and sold it to me for less than half price....Score! So I was somewhat shocked the 1st time I tried to edit footage from my GoPro, particularly when I used default cam settings 1st time out, recording at 1080p/30fps. I hadn't even tried recording in 2.7K or 4K yet, and the preview was SO slow, jerky, and out of sync with the audio that editing was virtually impossible, despite easily editing HD video recorded at 1080p on my previous cam. The weirdest part is that the videos preview perfectly when added to the timeline on their own?! As soon as you add anything to the project like another audio track, or even just a Title Effect, the preview stops working. Still not sure exactly why this occurs. My hardware should be up to it, and always was before. Same goes for PowerDirector. Went for a short ride a few days ago recording in 2.7K/60fps this time. Editing resulted in the same issues, with everything working fine as long as the GoPro clips were the only thing in the timeline. Technically I could produce a basic video, but any attempt at adding anything to the timeline like titles, secondary audio, or anything else, would make editing impossible in the usual sense. I was able to add titles and an audio track by estimation without being able to preview. PowerDirector would then function perfectly normally in "produce" mode, rendering the final product in whatever format/codec/resolution I chose, being MP4, H.264, 1080p/30fps on the first GoPro video, and subsequently 2.7K/60fps. Following your instructions in this tutorial, last night I tried your method to solve the preview issues. My only divergence was using AVC (Any Video Converter) rather than Handbrake, as it's an excellent virtually identical software already installed on my PC I've used for ages, and I can replicate your results exactly. Having created cloned files of my 2.7K clips in 720p/24fps, and proceeding as per the tutorial including changing PowerDirector settings to suit, adding the lower res files to the timeline made no difference whatsoever!? I tried closing PowerDirector and re-producing numerous 720p x264 clones of one of the 2.7K clips in 30 and various other frame rates, and lowered Bitrates, then trying it in PowerDirector after each attempt, with no change. Even playing about with the PwrDir settings, changing the preview quality & hardware acceleration in an attempt to use less resources made no difference. Having inexplicably had no luck with the method in this tutorial, as everything I know suggests it HAS to work, or at least show SOME improvement, I capitulated in confused exhaustion at around 2am and halfheartedly, with most of my attention directed at the TV behind me, reopened PwrDir, imported one of the 2.7K GoPro clips, changed the settings, placing the timeline frame rate at 60fps, disabling shadow files, setting preview quality to "High Preview Resolution", and under Hardware Acceleration, disabling the "Enable OpenCL technology to speed up video effect preview/render" function, and engaging the "Enable hardware decoding" function. The final act was to manually delete temporary files to free up a little memory. I then added a 2.7K file to the timeline, added a title, and hit play expecting the preview to malfunction as usual, when.......the bastard started working exactly as it should!?!!? As my mind imploded, to verify whether it was really working, I added 2 more 2.7K clips to the timeline, and even imported a music video, added it to track 2 with only audio enabled for a soundtrack and mixed it into this short little 5 minute test project.....and the maggot kept working perfectly. Apparently solving these issues on my PC is less about technical knowledge & logical process in pursuit of predictable outcomes, than it is about succeeding with counter intuitive sorcery where logic & reason could not to achieve the desired result! 🤣
Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials on aspects of PwrDir 16 I haven't learnt yet.
Sorry for the long message. 🤬 Regards from Down Under!😎 👍
BTW, if you feel like taking a peek, here's a couple of links to some videos of mine that might give you a larf!.....

Tom FlaTTop interesting. Glad you figured it out. Sometimes trial and error works better than our tried and true solutions. Thanks for sharing the outcome.
Well, stumbled on it rather than figured it out. And that's my point....your tried and true solutions are based on sound reasoning & logical process that MUST work from a technical perspective that makes sense, rather than the unfathomable voodoo my PC prefers. How the hell does a LOWER resolution 720p shadow file/cloned copy give my PC an unsolvable total meltdown editing in PwrDir, when a 2.7K file works/previews perfectly with a few settings tweaks? If I suggested that 720p files were more resource intensive than files in 2.7K or 4K, you'd think I was smoking crack again! And how the hell do you seek solutions or improvements to processes that function so counter intuitively that any success you have can only be accidental? Just doesn't make sense. As an ex-Motor Mechanic/Mechanical Engineer, I'm used to diagnosing issues and applying correct theory & practice to implement logical solutions. Problems that require solutions from the school of Harry bloody Potter shouldn't apply to reality. 🤡🤮😂 Anyhow, cheers Maliek. Love your work. Thanks for your patience.
Tom FlaTTop Yeah, I hear you. I was wondering how the heck what you did even worked. 😂🤣😂 I thought clearing out the cache/temporary files would help but that didn’t really make sense since you used so many different resolutions of the files (unless they all had the same file name). Well, as a current Process Engineer I definitely understand how relying on data and logical reasoning works but I’m also aware that on rare occasion there are outliers that lead to the solution as well. Whether you figured it out or stumbled upon the solution at least it’s working. 😀 Good convo.
Gracias!
You're welcome.
Glad to found your channel. Since I have a DJI Mavic Pro I'm wondering how to edit 4k files and which software to use without the need of replacing my intel i7 notebook. Thanks for your tutorial. It seems Power Director might be the right choice for my needs after Me and my computer were overstrained by trying out Davinci Resolve
Glad I was able to help you out.
Soon to be upgrading computers. What is a recommendation for cpu type, speed and graphics card to efficiently run PD?
Superb Maliek !
My PC is good for 4K but my Brother's is not. I'll make sure he sees this. . . . Thanks.
Jim
Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!
Thanks for one more coherent tutorial !
I guess that, on the second option,. we could create 2 folders (720 and 4K) and just rename them when producing... less renaming work to do.
What do you think?
That can also be done. Always more than one way to skin a cat...
Tnx (y)
Thanks so much for this video. Could you export the 4k footage as 1080p for you tube and it be a bit better quality then if you just filmed in 1080p? Many thanks
You can export it as 1080p but the quality probably won't be any better than any other 1080p video.
Why not just change display properties? Works for me.
Had to use this because many of my edits require 50g or more of 4k videos and pictures to be loaded into power director
Glad it helped with that.
Thanks Maliek!!! Question...Which tutorial shows me how to put videos together? I have two videos I have edited that I now need to put together and save as one video. Thanks Karen!
Bring the clips into the timeline and Produce the video to a new file.
Hi Maliek, Thank you for this good (as always) tuto. I want to switch to 4K. I guess my computer can handle these files. But I have a question. Can I use standard Blu-Ray disc to burn the project on them and have a 4K Blu Ray to play on my TV ?
Thank you,
Bruno
I'm glad you like my tutos. My understanding is that you need to have a Ultra HD Blu-ray disc and Ultra HD Blu-ray burner to create a 4K disc.
OK thanks, I know UHD burner for PCs already exist, I will look for blank UHD disc.
Hi - love your vids thanks. 4K is a challenge for all edit software. I'm not sure if there is any time or performance advantage of the lower res proxy files from PDR shadow files or going via more complicated handbrake file swap workflow in your vid. Also your Handbrake proxies were 720p (easier to edit) vs 1080p shadow files from PDR. If you had used 720p shadow files in PDR I assume the timeline edit/playback performance should be the same as the Handbrake 720p files. 720p proxies are fine for single screen users and the small playback window. I use two 24" HD 1080p monitors with the second for full screen timeline preview so a 1080p proxy is better. If I had a UHD/4K monitor I would like to see full 4K resolution playback for best quality editing and color correction so that is the ultimate goal - 4K editing with 4K playback/preview.
The basic problem with 4K MP4 editing is the codec. H.264 is highly compressed to save storage space on cameras but is not an edit friendly codec. It has to be decompressed (decoded) to individual frames for timeline edit. 1080p HD H.264 MP4 files worked fine on the timeline for most of us in PDR but hit the limits of most consumer PCs. Each 4K frame contains 4X the data as HD so our PCs choked. Most decoding is done by the CPU which cannot keep up with the playback framerate causing stutter/freezing. The higher the framerate (25p vs 50p) and the more layers added (eg PIP) the tougher is becomes for any edit software to playback smoothly. PDR also has Intel iGPU support with Quicksync. Intel users with an i7-7700 or latest i7-8700 have integrated Iris graphics GPU (iGPU) which enables powerful 4K H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) GPU decoding for the timeline and encoding for fast 4K encoding/render so it would be interesting to see if PDR16 (I'm still using PDR14) users can have true 4K editing with 4K preview using the PDR16 Intel iGPU support. The Intel Iris iGPU also supports HDR color now available on UHD TVs.
4K H.265 (HEVC) camera codec is here (GoPros and DJI Drones). It produces higher quality at the same bitrate than H.264 at HALF THE FILE SIZE so will be the future for capture and delivery including 4K TV. Compression is much higher so H.265 needs 10X MORE CPU computing power than H.264 for timeline decoding!! For users considering a PC upgrade (like me) for 4K, Intel may represent a significant 4K H.264 and H.265 decoding/encoding (edit/delivery) performance over AMD which has no Iris GPU and possibly save the cost of buying an expensive Nvidia or AMD GPU card.
Other edit software also now use "edit friendly" intermediate codecs as an alternative to lower res H.264 proxies which sacrifice quality. These codecs retain the full source quality at lower compression rates for easier editing. Once very expensive to license and reserved for professional studios, they are now free and include ProRes (Apple) DnX AVid), and Cineform (Grass Valley). Lower compression means much larger proxy file sizes (up to 10X) but they are temporary files enabling high quality editing/playback at high resolution. It would be nice to see PDR add an intermediate codec option to "Shadow File" proxies.
2:55 - Shadow files were 720p
Thanks for all of the additional information which I'm sure will be useful to others.
Hi Maliek, again another great video! was wondering however when you create a proxy file through PD, can you temporarily switch the proxy off for a certain clip if you want to color correct it and you want to see the original 4K resolution? also if you don't use proxy file at all, but lower the video preview resolution to eg HD, is this basically the same? because what is the relation (or not) between creating a proxy file vs lowering the preview resolution in PD?
You can't change one file temporarily. You can turn off shadow files for the entire project and turn it back on.
Shadow files are not the same as changing the preview quality. Shadow files are actual files with lower bitrate, file size. & resolution that are on your PC. When editing the program uses the shadow files rather than your original files. When you produce the video the program uses the original files.
Preview quality is simply changing the quality of the preview as you scrub the timeline or playback the video. You are still using the original files when editing.
@@PDU_Tutorials Okay thank you!! then i will use the changing of the preview quality. This will save me time for creating proxy files
Can we get a letterbox crop or some way that we can free crop all clips at once?
The replacing video thing was really smart. Thank you for this great tutorial Maliek sir. By the way, what went wrong at 12:29 ?
You’re welcome. I don't see any issues...
Lol. I dunno why but my pc cant play that part of ur video
Neel Narlawar Hmmm 🤔
Dose this apply to powerdirector 17 also. Thank you so much for your time
Yes it does
Great video of very useful information. Thank you for the tips on the 4K editing with shadow files. It really helps speed things up. Just one question: What are the procedures to Up-Scale 1920x1080/60p FHD to 4K UHD using PowerDirector?
Reason I ask is, 1) you're the best resource for PowerDirector online, and 2) I'm experimenting with slow motion in 4K but don't have a camera that shoots 4K at 60fps. Thus, I use 1080 at 60fps, to create Slo-Motion. My goal is to up-scale the slowmotion 1080 clips to 4K video content. I already know how to get slow motion content using 24fps HD video format. But I'm not sure how to up-scale these files properly with PowerDirector. I've seen some techniques for other software and get the gist of what's going on. But is there a preferred way to up-scale the HD to 4K for optimal quality in Powerdirector? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I haven't attempted to upscale footage with PD. You should be able to find out if anyone has and how they did it if you ask about it on the PowerDirector forum.
Thanks for the tip. I will check it out.
Hi there. Want to edit 4k with motion tracking. Can you do it on a shared graphics all in one pc with proxies?
I guess. I'm not a hardware specialist but I'd think it can be done if your specs are high enough. I have no idea what those specs should be.
Wow this whole time i been editing 4k on powerdirector and never new this the proxy shadow files looks like a less of a hassle.
Waaaay less of a hassle. 👍🏾
I have shadow files enabled, and my powerdirector used to create shadow files, but it isn't anymore. I'm not getting the small yellow icon saying that a clip is being generated and the shadow file folder is empty. Anyone know how to fix this? I've already to disabling and re-enabling shadow files, but it still won't generate any
I made a sizzle reel that is only 1:05 min long but when I produce it saves at 2:19 mins long. How do I make Power Director produce to a specified time.
Hey. I was wondering i can edit files or footage from a Blackmagic pocket camera on powerdirector 17 ?
The supported file formats for PD 17 are listed here. www.cyberlink.com/support/product-faq-content.do?id=23373
#gopro 7 black 4K & new #imac will this work? Tried with S6 tablet did not work :( I use 4K 30
No idea. I don't have that camera. It depends on what file format (not the resolution) you use when you record. The file formats supported by PowerDirector can be found here. www.cyberlink.com/support/faq-content.do?id=25674 Based on your Mac specs, 4K files could make things sluggish or cause lag.

When will PD support 4K 60p?
Hi Maliek, I have finally bought two 4K cameras and try to look at my files using Powerdirector and following your tuto, I look at the properties of my files and the format is 3840 X 2160 and not 4096 X 2302 as you show. I have two sony AX53 and AX 1000V and I remembered having set the recording to the max 4K.
Did I miss something ? Thank you for your help.
Best Regards,
Bruno
Your camera manufacturer can offer different types of resolution and "call it" 4K.
4096 x 2304 is “real or true 4K” sometimes referred to as cinema 4K. 3840 x 2160 is UHD 4K.
Hi, what if I have already proxies from my A7iii? Will it be the same file rename fidling midling?
If the proxies can be imported to PD then you're good.
@@PDU_Tutorials yes, proxies are just smaller 1280x720 files with automatically generated slightly different file name. So, may be even then it is not necessary to record proxy file, if PD makes own shadow file?
Got a question Commander. First! Thank you for some great tutorials. Now, I shoot in 4k using drones. I've tried shadow stuff, converting etc. I make sure the files are the converted ones & not original. Now, why, when I edit, no matter what I do, the 4k video still looks like crap? I run a Win 7 Pro with GeForce 50Ti. No SSD however.
You're welcome. Are you using the original 4K files when you edit? If you are using shadow files or converted files the quality will be lower when you edit.
PowerDirector University .....I just read my previous. I should've explained it better. No, not using original files. I've converted using P.D.'s system and two other converters. But when I enter the converted files (from any source including Power Director) & try to edit, they still look like crap....very edgy, aliased etc. Some guy told me it could be the camera (Typhoon Q500+ drone)...possible. Anyway, thanks for trying to help. I've saved many of your instructive videos for reference! I'll figure it out.
C H E E R S !
Do you think the Romanian language interface can be made?
Don't know. You should ask the makers of the software.
Hello, Accept h.265 videos at 240 fps to edit slow motion?
Haven't tried it but don't see why not...
Made these errors when I was a rookie 8 weeks ago. LOL. Do not ever delete files while editing with PD would be my best recommendation. Got a 32GB, 2TB M! Mac Mini coming to quit bogging down the laptop.
Does anyone out there have faster ways for getting trough pics and clips not wanted. I hear there are decks you can use to speed up editing!?
3:26 that’s the part I don’t get. I have a beast of a laptop: dell inspiron 6gb Nvidia 1070 card 32gb of ram and latest i7. When I don’t have shadow files selected, it skips while trying to edit files; when I put it into shadow file mode I could literally drop down files and begin editing them immediately while they are still yellow status... it makes zero sense, but that’s what it’s doing. Maybe someday soon I’ll make a video about this strange phenomenon; cause I can’t get it to work properly any other way. I have the latest power Director suite.
I contacted cyberlink (terrible customer service) and they responded via email only saying that “maybe my card isn’t compatible” or maybe my integrated graphics wants to work with power Director and dedicated card doesn’t kick in - but when I checked system function while rendering 4K files on it I see the dedicated graphics card show resources being used maybe upto 12%. It’s a really strange unexplainable phenomenon, but it works so I’m just going to back away slowly and continue plugging out movies.
Return it and get an HP Spectre lol
I find that when I produce the same project to 4K and HD, the HD always ends up with better contrast and color saturation. Is there a trick to rendering 4K so it doesn't end up looking like a RAW file? (I use a 4K monitor)
The only thing I can think of is trying a different codec/preset and see if the contrast and saturation look any better.
Thanks for the tip Maliek. I produced three test clips using H264, H265 and XAVCS and they all looked about the same. Then I noticed I wasn't seeing the problem on TH-cam so I started wondering about PowerDVD. After some searching, I found a setting in there to disable High Performance Mode. Bingo! All the codecs look great now. High Perfomance Mode must not be fully compatible with the 4K codecs. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion. It helped me get pointed down the right trail.
@@coloradovideochannel Awesome. Glad you were able to figure it out.
I am not able to drag or import a 4K Video into my Library. I am getting this message, 'Your version of PowerDirector doesn't support this feature.' - My version is PowerDirector 16 (64-bit) 30 day Trial.
Might be due to it being the trial version. I don't know if the trial version has all of the regular features.
can you edit this using phone?
Savage MTB PowerDirector has Android and iOS apps that can edit 4K as long as your device can handle it.
Just a question ( not on 4K ) but how do I save my video as a video file on my computer after I produce the movie, without putting it on a DVD or disk...it says make a disk, I don't want to put it on a disk, I want to put it on line , like Facebook or just play it on my computer or put it on a thumb drive....I am using Power-director 11......
I have not use PD 11 for some time but on the Produce tab there should be a Standard 2D tab and there you can select your file format (Mpeg-4, etc.) and the resolution you want to use to create a file.
Thank you for getting back to me on this....I look at the format part under produce, but still, when I finish with produce, It wants to put it on a disk or save the project as a PD-11 project file, and it won't play on other computers..You say you haven't used PD-11 for some time, OK it is old.....how would you make a video on PD-16 and up load it to TH-cam ?....I may need to up grade my PD program if It is able to do that..there must be a way to save the movie as a video file that works on other computers, without making a DVD disk........
OK I got it....there is a produce file in the Cyberlink folder, that is where it was hiding.......
Great! There should be a button on the right hand side of an Export Folder window near the bottom right of the screen that allows you to select a folder on your PC and name the file whatever you want to when you to if you don't want to save it to the CyberLink folder.

Hi Malik you doing great job very helpful but please do me a favour if you say “press ok” or “press close” just do it, if you notice, every time when you gonna press any button you waiting 2sec, it’s really annoying, no offence.
Some people like that I do that, and others don't. I will always do me, can't satisfy everyone.
how do i get it to play and edit a film that is 4k 60fps
Is it lagging? In "Preferences" you can change to a lower resolution and you can turn on Shadow Files.
@@PDU_Tutorials yes , I do have them on but for some reason it won’t correct
@@CandyMonia Are you using a lower preview setting? You can try enabling or disabling Hardware acceleration as well.
@@PDU_Tutorials can you do a video on it or explain how to do that because I have no idea
@@CandyMonia Sorry I don’t make videos for issues people are having. I’d be making videos all day. 😀 If you need more direction you can post your issue on the PowerDirector forum. That way you can share your files, PC info, screen shots, etc. to help solve your issue. forum.cyberlink.com/forum/forums/list/ENU.page
How to remove power director shadow files in mobile without damaging the editing ir the video??
Don’t know. Have to find out from CyberLink. In the app go to “settings > FAQ and Feedback”

@@sahildhanuk9653 Can you explain why you typed “Umm”? I don’t work for CyberLink and I don’t have the answer. I suggested contacting CyberLink because I’m trying to point you in the right direction to get the help you need.
