I'm Bobby Gene, retired young to be caregiver for my wife, but after losing her to brain cancer I set out on motorcycle for three years to seek healing. To close the book on that final chapter, I've sold our home and moved into an RV, 'The Independence', with my car 'The Lieutenant' in tow, Together we travel as far as possible, hoping to inspire others who have suffered a loss, while discovering new destinations, new challenges, and amazing people.

This is a fantastic tutorial. Your voice is easy on the ears for me, unlike some of the other PowerDirector tutorials out there. Some of them drive me nuts! You have an excellent way of sharing your knowledge in a very user friendly, understandable way which is wholeheartedly appreciated by myself. Thanks for taking the time to do this. It makes learning this program very pleasurable and less frustrating! You are a great teacher and should have majored in Instructional Technology!
You are a born teacher. You instructions are clear, precise, and made for the beginner. I have listened to so many speakers but you have a special knack to teach!
Thank you!!
Thank you Gene...Just bought the program last week... Being a bit rusty in my editing skills I watched all 4...After numerous requests and no help I'm delighted to have found your clear and precise tutorials..
Thank you! I hope to have fun :)
Finally a video which is slow enough to keep up with you and understand everything, now going to watch the rest. Think you have already convinced me to buy 365. Have download 4-5 software editors this week and gave up on all of them. Thank you sir
I have been watching another channel since I purchased this 365 software and didn't really learn a thing that told the "why" and "How come" for the things that were being explained. Your Part 1 was clear and provided so much value to my time. I'm on my way to part 2.
Super glad to hear that Mark
Thank you for helping me! I was able to make the very first video clip of my own by following your tutorials. You are the best! Thank you again!
This tutorial is AWESOME!!! I must have went through a gazillion links to find a video editor that w/b user-friendly today because I couldn't find a cyberlink tutorial that I found user-friendly for my non-techie antique brain. This vid is the best, basics spelled out as clearly as can be! Well done!
Thank you! You just made it all worth while!
I have been using Cyberlink (producing many programs for others) for some time now and i have just completed the 4 part tutorial of a beginners guide and i learned 3 things i never new about Cyberlink. It just goes to show that one can learn new things if you are willing to be taught. Thank you Bobby Gene.
Love to hear that Neil, thank you!
Just got my Go Pro last week. This video is just what I needed. Thanks Bobby Gene.
Gopro is tons of fun, I hope you have a great time.
Relaxed, thorough, competent, efficient and enjoyable learning experience. Thank you Gene. Great teacher.
Thank you Peter you just made it all worth while :)
Thank you so much for sharing this! I just purchased this and needed a clear tutorial for this tech challenged girl 😂. God bless!
Great tutorial and actually for me the first one that really understands the word BEGINNER. Tomorrow part 2, it's fun like this. Thanks Gene!!
Glad to hear Esther thank you!
I have see a lot of tutorials on how to edit and produce a video, and you are the best. simply, because you explained and using the languages of a beginner that know nothing a bout the videos and it terminologies. Thank you so much
Thank you Tuan, so happy to help!
Thanks, you are a great teacher thanks for taking the time to teach.
Hi Bobby Gene, I want to thank you for putting out these videos on how to edit videos. I will watch through all of them but at the moment I’m taking care of three properties and trying to move to the lake. As soon as things slow down I will watch them and hope to be more confident and get going posting videos on my TH-cam channel.
You're welcome Sherry, I had many requests for tutorials, even though these videos are not very popular on my channel with most viewers. They'll be here when you need them. :)
Just to say thanks for a great tutorial. I'm in the UK, I'm not a total beginner, so I understand the terminology. I have been in the music side of things mainly so I understand about tracks and editing audio. I recently bought a GoPro and wanted something good but not over complicated and I'm sure I've found it in this software. I found your videos during my research and I like the way you have introduced each process, step by step clearly and at a beginners pace.
Thank you.
And even though you're American, you didn't start off by saying, "Hey! What's up guys?!" and there was no mention of "This bad boy." 😁
Thank you for that. 👍😏
Haha love the comment thank you. I'm super happy that you are pleased with the lessons, that's what I was hoping to achieve, to show them the way that I would want to see them. Wishing you huge success in your videos!
You are so clever! I love that you put yourself into the interface!
Thank you neighbor! :)
Thanks mate, amazing tutorial for beginners ever seen. Was looking for such easy and simplicity and finally got your channel right now. Subscribed and bell clicked. Once again, thank you.
You just made my day, thank you. So glad you found the videos useful, I wish you much luck in your creations! I hope to do more lessons in the future, cheers!
Wow I really appreciate your teaching style, so informative and I think I will buy it. Thanks so much.
Thank you :)
Amazing! What a great lesson. I appreciate that you covered EVERY step that was needed. I will watch all of your Power Director videos, and maybe others if you do them.
Thank you Kerry! :)
You go Gene! Thank you so much. I loved this 4 part series. It was just what I needed. No skipping steps, thinking that I would know things I didn't! Nice and slow, with a good zoom when needed. The mouse highlight is great! Sometimes when I learn from youtube (without the mouse highlight) I have to rewind so many times just to find out where the person clicked! :-) Your jokes crack me up and I like the repeat, of what was learned before and your clear "what I will learn from this video"!
Thank you Malin! Knowing that makes it all worth while :) I see you ride English :) I rode for years and competed in Dressage/ Equitation competition and won medals in our National Police Olympics. Jumps were my favorite! Great memories, Cheers!
Thanks for these tutorial videos. I have been curious about making videos for awhile now.
Sorry I wasn't notified about this comment! I hope you have dived in and are having great success with it! :)
This was good. Lots to absorb, looking to get stared. I think you're a good tech teacher. Thanks for the information. Keep them coming.
You bet Laurel, like I said, it gets easier
Great subject, now I'll take that first step and edit some file footage I've collected. Thanks Gene.... Happy Trails
Fred strap a gopro to that bike you'll be able to re-live your rides with some kicka@# music on rainy days like I do. Awesome stuff.
Super informative BG. I have been wanting to start this learning experience (video editing) for some time now but really had not found anything that wasn't too fast or too frequently off topic! I can't make a single suggestion for improvement. Great teaching approach. Thank you for your efforts here and your sharing! Now, onto part deux!! Safe travels. bg
Thank you back BG, I hope you will find everything you're looking for and create beautiful memories :)
Thanks a lot - your video is a Great start to soft soft. I'm onto it !
Great introduction to PowerDirector. I use this program when I make my videos and wish you had been around years ago when I first started learning how to use it. Nice easy tour around the software.
Me too Keith, it's what I started out on and they keep improving it, the availability of 'cloud' based access to production content is awesome.
Nice video Bobby ! You look GREAT with your glasses 😉
Thanks Mate, I'm brand new in video-editing and will go follow all your video's about this Editor. Hopefully you keep making more of this. Regard Harry (Netherlands)👍
Great video; newbie here, and I wanted to say you explain so well; thank you VERY MUCH
Very informative from a class A! With a touch of class.
Thank you Prinze!
Man I am so happy I found your channel I have power director and don’t know where to begin
Good to hear thank you! Stick with it, once your brain remembers where everything is, you'll be kill'n it. Cheers!
Yeah - like your voice, speed and content - well done!!
EXCELLENT TEACHING! Very thorough! Thank you, so much! God Bless
Excellent tutorial, thank you very very much for these videos 👍
Thanks so much for doing this video series! Very informative
You're welcome Melisa, I'll be doing a review/ tut for the mobile version of the same program at some point in the future as well :)
Thanks Gene. Appreciate the video. 😊
Loved this! Thank you! Looking forward to more video info.
Thank you Hope to get it out today
I have not watched the entire video ,but so far so good lol.... thank you ❤
Thank you for doing this video! Very helpful 👍. Thank you for showing where and how to get it. Thank you for talking in nice pace.
Excellent, love to hear that.
Thank you. Cyberlink should hire you. Your tutorials are much better paced and easier to understand than any of their beginner videos. Hats off to a great teacher...
lol thanks Joel!
Awesome ,so beautifully expained
You just made My life easier ☺️. Thanks.
Yes... you did. But Power Director didn't. I started my first project. I saved it for later completion. I tried to open the App ,(on my PC) and it's gone! The icons etc are still there but I have to download it again? I don't know what happened. I really want this to work for me. Suggestions? 😎✌️
Thank you for doing this tutorial. Very informative as usual. Looking forward to the next one. The rain sounded like it was coming down hard. How fitting it's raining here in Pa as I'm watching lol. Have a great week
Wow how cool is that :) I hope to get Pt. 2 out tomorrow
Who’s watching in 2021? 😁
Thanks Gene! These tutorials are super easy. 👍
Thank you, that's what I was shooting for! :)
What a great subject!
i see relatives are making comments for you. cranny here probably can't even tell you what version she has let alone knows how to download the program
Thank You. I love it! It was very helpful..
Thank you Fernando, enjoy making your videos!
Awesome video, I think I can do this!
Yes you can :)
You do a great job of explaining this program
Thank you TomKerr!
I needed this, thank you..
You bet Elaine, I hope it works out!
Thanks, Tom Arnold 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Thank you, Gene! You seem like a nice coach and I'm going to learn my software watching your tutorial.
You're awesome!
Thanks for being generous.
Very nice, just what I was thinking about last week.. I'll look into it. Thanks Bobby, Lo :)
Excellent! I'll try to get Pt. 2 out tomorrow
@@GenesTherapy Looking forward to it.
Thanks Bobby ☺️
Excellent tutorial!
Gene, thanks for doing this, I've been want to try this but wasn't sure which program would be worth trying.
You bet Rick, it's a good starter program with a lot of power and huge support on the back end providing tons of free downloadable content.
hey my friend;just wanna thank you for creating THE tutorial that broke thru2me with this software so I can finally do basic editing.It was cuz of this here video I was able to upload & publish my 1st episode on my YT chan.although its super rough and I made MANY mistakes,I got the over-all gist cuz of you,bud.Thanks!!!
You just made my day, thank you, glad it helped!
Bud glad to give credit where it's do.just fin part2&every time,I advance my editing prowess-THANKS BUD!!
Thanks for the awesome tutorial. We just posted our first video using a different program but we will be checking this one out for sure. One question: When will you do another tutorial? Can't wait! 🎥
It will be out in about an hour (6:30) EST ;)
Nice video, Gene. Good work.
Thank you Peter
Excellent. Thank you.
hello sir awsem work I am visyally impared and also have some cognitive issues I have checked out other tutorials like yours and they go 80 miles an hour yours is the best one so far
Thank you Matt, I hope you will do beautiful things with your videos, it's a blessing for you to say. :)
I learned how to edit in power director because of you. Thank you. Can you tell me how to remove background music from a video? They removed the fix/enhance button on the new version and will not help me with the problem. Thank you,
Amy
Nice blade over your right shoulder. I can't remember where it's from though. Anyway I don't know if I'll ever edit videos but just in case. I have that video player on my laptop.
Hey J. the Excalibur was a B-day gift from Pippi last year. I love the old world replica stuff like that. Good to have the program on board, should you just like to dabble one day and make a special video for someone, etc..best gift ever.
Great video. I am just a beginner but already have learned a lot. For youtube videos, do you think it's better just to use one timeline or multiple timelines? Any advantage or disadvantages? Thank You Gene for The Power Director lessons. Scott
Hiya Scott, I use one timeline that may have numerous video and audio tracks. I've seen video of other editors using multiple timelines to streamline their workflow by breaking down the video to a separate topic for each timeline.
Thanks for the kind words! Keep at it!
Best teacher
Cool
I heard that thunder.
You could record that and use it in your audio files. Awesome.
Keith
Wow......, Amazing
i dont have time to watch these videos right now , But i will soon. This is of HUGE interest to me as i Have Zero knowledge with video editing besides iMovie on iPhone. But i Do Want to increase my Movie editing skills , get a Go pro and merge iPhone movies with the Go Pro Movies , and a Nikon Point snd shoot i allready own and i dont think i can do that on a iMovie app on iPhone.
How does one add more time at the beginning of a video for music clip
Agreed...its always fun watching your videos Bobby, we never know what you are planning....i've had mice in my old Rv do i need to get a cat or something...?
Mouse trap with peanut butter on it :)
Thank you,
Maybe you already show this in a video on how to go from one clip to the next and make blend in. I'm completely new at this,
I will watch you other videos as well.
Sorry I missed your comment, Yes I do explain that as you probably know by now lol
I don't have the clip/movie buttons on the preview window either
Hello, I am a user of PD 365. ( NOT VERY GOOD AT IT) I recently shot a video, and my tripod showed it was level, as it turned out it was not. my video is now slightly off kilter. Is there a way of correcting this? I do not have the PD app. don't know how to use it. I would appreciate your help. Thank you.
I checked - everything is clean
Does this work the same way with gopro clips as i have been using gopro studio and it has to be converted does the 365 do it for you
Gopro clips can be dropped right in there Roy :)
Hey Gene, Just starting video editing (trying) for myself. Just retired (medical) and doing some " you tube" myself if I can. Had a IT girl for many years at our office, working with us, but now I'm retired and need to do it myself. I currently have been paying Premier Pro monthly for about a year and have not gotten off of 0 mph. It is a little complicated for a gun training guy / motorcycle trainer. Would you suggest using this program you are teaching, Power Director and stepping up to Premier Pro later or would you go directly to the big boy?? Been enjoying your Videos and you are one of my favorites. Trying to do some videos but some health issues have slowed me a bit. Owned a Gun Store and Motorcycle Training School for many years in Lakeland, and after watching you for a while, I feel like we are interested in many of the same things. Self defense and riding. Wife and I are a little older than you but I feel I have lots more to offer and trying to keep busy. Thanks for your time and great work. Your videos are some of the best I have seen. My wife Cindy and I also watch your cooking videos together. Cindy is always looking for "RV cooking Hacks" We are eating lots of Salmon planks from Publix lately. (trying to loose a couple of pounds).Thanks for your good work. I appreciate your time and taking a min for me... Dan
Hi Dan, start off small, or simplified, and work up to Premier Pro (I take it you are on a PC?) Get used to working with video clips on a timeline, then producing a completed project with titles, music, sfx. Then after you've done some hefty projects, and you are having fun and hungry for more. If you feel comfortable understanding the whole digital video structure of things, migrate over to Premier Pro and light the fires. It's powerful, same concept but some stuff is just in different places, the interface is not as visual, and you have to be patient and learn that. For me it's a challenge, I like challenges that have great reward. Like riding the Dragon on a beautiful day and nobody is in my way, or double tapping steel plates with a single reload in record time. Premier Pro CC amazes me, just yesterday I discovered all of the cool titles I have available to me and how to animate them. I'm a nerd/geek in a way as well as a rider, shooter, fighter LOL...life is good. Watch lots of TH-cam videos on what and how you are doing, it's been a priceless resource for me in my progress. My email is in the description above, hit me up if you want to give PowerDirector a shot, I should be able to find a link with a discount, (they are a affiliate). Or if you want to dive in to Premier, balls! Simply watch lots of videos and follow along, then you won't have to mentally change gears from PowerDirector to Premier. If you lived nearby I'd give you some lessons ;) Either way, roll your sleeves up and get in there, life is short, record your memories of it! Cheers!
Hi. Gene
I have a quick question if you would please.
I have been using power director now for a couple months.
I was just wondering where do I go to
Make my title not so huge when I bring it into the timeline.
It seems like it's three or four inches long I don't need that much.
Is there a button or a setting I can go to
To make the title not so large across my timeline when I drag it in ?
Thanks
Keith
You can customize titles in the title room. click on the title itself in the preview screen and you should be able to drag it to position and size. Also after clicking on it you will see the power tools options appear at the bottom of the title room giving you more options. Cheers!
Why Render in 1280x720/30p(16mbps)? Is this the best quality for Uploading to Facebook or TH-cam? FB Compresses videos and they look bad.
Thank you for this tutorial. Curious tho...can you drag in iphone vids?
Yes download the vids to your computer and drag them in
Awesome!
Bobby Gene, I love your videos Brother. I downloaded Vegas Pro 19 free trial and played around with it yesterday. I flubbed around more aptly put. I bought an akaso brave 4 v3 before I found your TH-cam videos and since, and bcuz of your video about it, I purchased the Feiyu Pocket 2S. I’ve shot a bunch of videos with both and wondered about edits? I just found this series today. Thank you again for your efforts and help. I noticed that you haven’t posted anything for a year and that said, I’m a fan Gene.
Also, another thank you for replying to me when I “comments” under another video I watched.
All that word salad served up, when may we hope to see more of your videos?
I’m sure someone may have asked before me but I am seriously subscribed and hit the bell so
more please.
@@sharpeningman9481 Hi yes thank you for that. I've been tied up with some big family things requiring me to travel a lot. Maybe I'll get back and do some more tutorials, I hope. Meanwhile, good luck and make those vids!
Nice presentation - looking forward to more advanced training. One question - after you added the second clip and then moved the play-head to the very beginning - when you pressed PLAY the program still changed from Clip to Movie?
I believe play movie is the default and if you only want the clip played you click 'clip'. I never use those I just stop the playhead with the space bar when I'm done.
@@GenesTherapy OK, thanks!
Could you help? I don't see the "capture" tab on top of the screen for easy editing. Is there a way to customize the options on top? I can get it through the edit file. Thanks,
click on 'view' on the menu bar, look for an option to show the capture tab. I don't have computer in front of me. Please visit the website support group, they are awesome.
You said it should run at the right speed. When I record the 8mm it scans at a higher speed and should be at 16 FPS. If the program does not run at 5he right speed, is there a tool on the program to slow it down to 26 FPS. I watched all 4 videos and you raced over video speed. Thanks.
Interesting question Louis, I'm not familiar with the 8mm transition. Hit the help button and head over to Cyberlink support and see if it is posted there or in their member forums. I'm sure there would be others who would like to know. You have a 8mm digital camera? I haven't seen one of those around anymore. I started with 8mm film back in the 80's lol. Cheers!
thanks very helpful
So glad to hear Kristine! Sorry I didn't get a notification of your comment!
heads up this is as basic as it gets. if you don't know how to turn on your computer, this is for you
LOL
I don't even know how to reply to that.
Hey man, sometimes you need to humble yourself.. and this is where one ends up 🥸
When i do the gms tNice tutorialng and press play its just tNice tutorials robot static
So far I'm completely overwhelmed. Hopefully this helps.
Be sure to use their help videos that I pointed out as well, watch and watch again you'll get it all of a sudden it will come together!
Bobby Gene - your vids are fabulous and when you are "teaching" I very much admire your methods for doing so. My son just got in to doing video and was looking for a good teaching video. I highly recommended yours. Why? - I'm a Photoshop teacher and I know a good teacher when I see one and you're it. As a matter of fact, I'm even thinking I might want to do some vids too. ha. I'm better off in Photoshop...
My son's name is Jon and mine is Dolores (Lola is just a shortcut) - So Bobby Gene, meet Jon Russo. He will be by soon...
Hi Lola, yes I love my photoshop CC too! Your son will take off like a rocket producing videos, he will love the features of this software, it really is a lot of fun. Pleased to meet you!
I am spending Christmas with your tutorials and am learning so much. You mention a member's forum. I can't find it. I don't see anywhere on their support website where you can ask a question. Can you send a link? I need to know why my videos have a long alphabetic-numeric name across them when placed on timeline. They came from an apple iphone. Can I rename the clips? What does the name mean? I can't copy it to show you.
Merry Christmas :) You should be able to rename those strange video clip names by right clicking on them, (while viewing them on your computer file explorer window). Just don't change the name of the extension after the period (if it shows it.)

Thank you......Thank you.......THANK YOU!!!!!!
Glad to hear it, thank you!
Sir @Gene's Therapy can I use Power Director 365 to Edit a Video to put on my Portfolio for Upwork Application?
Carlos I believe you can make the video then upload it to youtube, then place the link for your video in your portfolio. Be sure to ask Upwork to know for sure.
What Screen Saver program are you using for this great Video Tutorial ??
Faststone Capture, it's great
@@GenesTherapy Is Fastone Capture a Free screen capture?
@@kan-zee I think it’s free for screenshots but you’ll have to pay like seven dollars to open up all of the features.
The reason for my asking, is due to crackling/distorting soft, whenever the drum/snare, or whatever is playing. TNice tutorials was the case off
Did i miss adding audio on this... we want to use our own music... can that be done. Can we eliminate current talking with new talking via the microphone? Great simple .... going to view a couple more to compare... but like this so far.
Yes and yes. Keep watching and if what you want to know is not answered please check out their how-to videos (top right corner of the program), or visit their web site they have a huge help and tutorial section there at your service.
Hi mate
How add modern music to my film in powerdirect.?
What options we have?
Go to youtube studio, then click on audio library on the left. they have a library of music you can use. OR, go to the link in my description, that is where I get my music, Epidemicsound Cheers!
Thank you
Loved your video but PD just crashes every time for me on Win 10
Bobby Gene you’re awesome sauce! Love your sword (hope that didn’t sound weird, lol). 😁
In a good way ;)
