PowerDirector 21: The Beginner Basics Tutorial

Namaste everybody! My name is Sean & welcome to episode 1 of the powerdirector video editing tutorial series! In this first episode we go over the "beginner basics" by breaking down the main workspace of powerdirector into 3 easy simple sections, just to make the program more comfortable to understand! Next, we navigate through the user interface & briefly go over the "timeline, preview/playback window, the media library, room manager, the basic functions of each room, their elements, & finish off with the production page to save videos!

Just found Power Director and will be using it. Thanks for your tutorials. I've Subbed!

[jackcollazo]

Hey, thanks for the tutorial. I'm planning to buy this video editor and came across your video. So far, this video was a good intro and I look forward to more as I need a guide to use this new software and I've subscribed. I don't have right now a specific subject that I would like you to cover but a general, overview of the software's capabilities would suffice so that I can know how to navigate and make use of the main tools. Thanks again!

[trotski]

hey there, I'm not sure if you plan on continuing to cover this topic, but I found this really useful. Could you cover subtitiles please? I can't find information anywhere on how to mass move subtitles or delete large sections and having it line up with the dialogue it's driving me nuts. Please continue with this, your video is the only one that made any sense to me

Question if I may...sometimes after uploading my gaming video the mic and game audio disappeared and is replaced with the sound of a generator ( best way I can describe it ) but I'm not sure what causes it, is there anyway you could assist me?

[BoxcarWillie]

Awesome Video 👍 Question, I have a elgato 60-S capture card and a external Webcam hoping to make a movie in movie video of game play and commentary. Is it possible to capture/record from the external capture card (game play) and the external USB Webcam (video of myself playing the game) at the same time, with PowerDirector 21? Something similar to other lets plays with a mini window in the lower bottom of the screen. Thanks!

Hi., ...Thank you so much it was useful....Can I know where can I download creative and designed text titles to use for the videos?

[reticulan]

Is there an edit program, that does not have this complicated timeline multi layer system. I just want a one video source that I can watch full screen. Just be able to trim shots without getting lost. I have looked at the Final Cuts, This one, Imovie, Vegas they are all the same and all complicated.

[KTHKUHNKK]

One question please.
I was putting together a 5-minute video the other day.
I scooted a couple clips together to do a crossfade.
The screen went gray and said please wait.
I waited for 10 to 15 minutes. It never did straighten out.

So I closed out the program and restarted it.
Of course as you know it says would you like to recover your project and I said yes.

The project was recovered but I was wondering why did this happen ?
It is only happened twice only during a crossfade.
Thanks.
Keith

[KTHKUHNKK]

Hi Sean
I hope all is good with you.
It's Keith I spoke with you before.
One quick question if I may.

When I'm in the timeline and I make several cuts
And I go to remove one section.


When I click remove it asks you if you want to leave Gap or move all clips Etc

Several times when I click on move all clips
They don't all snap back together they leave a gap.

Am I doing something wrong or do you know of a reason for this ?
Thanks. Keith

[WORLD-OF-MERLIN]

How can I do a video inset of a YouTube video that I would like to react on? So the video I’m reacting on I want it to be in a smaller window while viewers can see me in the larger window.

[foxmino]

How do you delete those pics/thumbnails forever in the "Media Library"?

[DblWrnBknCheBgr]

So this is basically Movavi Video Editor?

[KTHKUHNKK]

I just subscribed and hit the bell.
I hope you answer on occasional question.
I'm fairly new to power director 21 I purchased it.
