Excellent! One of the great things about your tutorials is that they teach individual steps that can be used not just for the end result that you're teaching (in this case time-lapse), but also as stepping stones for a wide variety of processes and effects in PD. Thanks!!!
Another option, when I do my Blender animations, I use PD to put it together. I save each frame in Blender, as a .png and import to PD. Then, instead of hitting timelapse, I just hit the duration for the frames to be 1 frame instead of the 5 second that are automatically given in PD. Now I have done the same thing you did, but, no bars on the side and no loss of picture or distortion. I was going to say more, but, I had a memory lapse? Thank you sir, I always start my Saturday's with your smiling face !!
That's how I shifted time lapse sequence throughout entire video, so that the drive down 8 mile trail starts out normal speed, then every 3 frame segments in time line default, is increased in speed little by little, to look from the start of 30 mph, to near the end of trail to simulate 243mph, then last 500 ft the speed brakes come on to a soft gradual stop at stop sign.. The background music matched the speed as well. Thankfully, the gradual speed increase looks genuine through the first sector of tight turns, then the speed gets seriously insane gradually on main straight sector of trail going through the forest. But the vehicle in real time never went over 45 mph pulling heavy trailer load, also helped keep the video very stable. Without the trailer, project would maybe be scrapped. No load 4wheel drive trucks are not a Caddy Cruise on rough dirt road. The setup was just padded media to keep the Lumix camera tight up against windshield, but make absolute certain both sides of glass are triple scrubbed clean, and zero reflection artifacts. One of these days I upload it.
There is no pro version. I'm not aware which versions do and don't have time-lapse. There is the free trial, essentials, ultra, and ultimate. You can see a comparison here. www.cyberlink.com/products/powerdirector-video-editing-software/comparison_en_US.html
Hi! excellent your explanation. I hope to continue learning from your tutorials. Thank you. Me gusta mucho cómo explicas todo tan detallado que hace más fácil todo a la hora de aprender en PowerDirector. Mil gracias
Thanks for your tutorials. They're a great help. I find it quicker to lose the black bars on my time lapses by using Tools/Power Tools/Crop Zoom Pan - then Crop and simply re position to desired frame.
Great tutorial. I followed right along and it worked great. I do have a question on another issue. I have some custom saved titles that I can see on my computer in the C: directory file list. The problem is that when I go to the Title Room there are no custom titles listed. None show up but they are definitely on my computer. They were there just a few weeks ago but now they are not there. I have PD 16.0. Any suggestion on how I can make my custom titles show up on the custom tab in the Title Room would be most appreciated. Thanks so much.
Not sure why they’re not showing up. Could be that a new folder was created or the files were moved to a new folder. Check the PowerDirector forum for the default custom title location and make sure your custom titles are there.
Excellent video again buddy. Got a question though... Why do you prefer PIP-manager over the crop and zoom function? does it have advantages? i usually use the crop and zoom powertool as I find it easier to work with.
@PowerDirector University Can PowerDirector 16 stack night time lapsed photos to create a star trails video? If so, is there a tutorial for that. I hope there is. I would really like to try that.
Hello Maliek. As I’m looking into editing & producing Star Trail videos from night time time lapses it appears that the images have to be stacked in order to get the effect. I see that a lot of people are using the editing program called Starstax then rendering in DaVinci Resolve 18. It sure would be nice to be able to achieve Star Trails videos in Cyberlink PowerDirector. I love PD.
Couldn't you have eliminated the black bars by unchecking "maintain aspect ratio" and stretching the video to fit the width? Did you do it the way you did it to avoid distortion?
When I record videos I record 3 audio tracks (Mic, Discord, and desktop) when I bring the MP4 file into the editor (Cyber link PowerDircetor 15 ultra) It combines all the audio tracks into one, is their a way to fix this so I get each track by its self, if so then please reply!!!!!
hi been watching a lot of your videos as i am new to powerdirector. but when i put a video onto youtube then let my family know on facebook, the link comes out small with a tiny photo, not like the you tube video photos that you want to press because it looks good. is it a thumbnail? any help please
Facebook will not allow links to YT videos to have a big photo. Nothing you can do about it. If you upload the video directly to FB it will have a large thumbnail but it will not count as views on YT.
When generating the time-lapse within the camera you won't have a chance to do any processing on the images, if deemed needed or desired. I therefore prefer creating the time-lapse "outside" of the camera, although my Lumix includes that capability.
If you're doing time-lapse as still images, the camera will NOT make the stills into a time-lapse video in camera--it'll just be a bunch of still images. You still need editing software like PD to accomplish this.
I'll need to find who does training of this app on Android, and the issues of doing so. Usually I get bogged down in edit mode on cell phone where logical steps get difficult to figure out. When something changes, options menu stack should automatically appear to choose from that work, vs pick & guess that don't. Then kill bubble tips when mastered.
Howdy, thank you for your tutorials, much appreciated. I've been watching them, and taking a lot of notes. Just letting you know that your links to PD17 are *not* working (affiliate links).
Mike Young Hope you used my link to buy it 😀 Try restarting your PC to make sure the program updated to the version you purchased. If that doesn’t work contact CyberLink for help.
It would be nice to add option to overlay images onto one another to produce star trails and also to add some motion tracking to stabilise the video if not taken from tripod.
I can't believe how rinkidink powerdirector is for doing this. I have 3000 images i'm doing a timelapse on. You can only import 2500 at a time, so i already had to separate them into 2 different folders just so i could import them. Then, power director is so sluggish both importing them, adding them to timeline, editing the timelapse, etc etc. It's also very slow to produce videos. only looks like it uses 4 of my 6 cores to render the videos (intel I7-8700K, with samsung nvme hard drive, 64gb ram, nvidia 1070TI graphics). I think it only uses 1 or 2 cores the entire time I am using the application, which is why it is so slow.
Do you mean something lie, put your hand on your mouse, move your mouse to the left, move the scroll wheel up, etc. etc. etc. IMHO that would be too much for most people. I already get a lot of feedback asking me to speed up but I don't so that new people can keep up.

did we not have this on a previous version the timelapse as you started the program like PD15 and now its no longer on 16 or 17
Did we?

Yes and yes.
Hello, is it possible to use powerdirector to make hyperlapse videos like I have seen others do with Adobe After Effects?
Not that I’m aware of
@@PDU_Tutorials 😭😭😭
What version of PowerDirector 17 are you using? Just saying "17" doesn't mean anything. Is this available with the Ultimate edition?
I have 365. Yes it is available with Ultimate, Ultra, and 365. That's why the title says "PowerDirector 17".
How does one make a windows file that you could use on different computers?

how do u add motion blur tho
Several ways. Depends on what tool you're using.

Hi my name is Luis, does having a PC with an Intel Dual Core 2 Duos processor make it impossible to stabilize a video? Thank you
Not that I know of.
@@PDU_Tutorials ok 👍
Love doing time-lapse but I do it with my DSLR I do not need PD. I think most DSLR do it now don't they?
Depends on your device.

If you're doing time-lapse as still images, the camera will NOT make the stills into a time-lapse video in camera--it'll just be a bunch of still images. You still need editing software like PD to accomplish this.
PowerDirector Tutorials Timelapse in PD creates truly high-res video, versus more low-res directly from camera.
Looks like this is a bit quicker than using the GoPro Studio, will have to try it and see how the results compare.

Hi, how do I timelapse from a video clip?

You can't you just speed up the clip.
