CyberLink PowerDirector Help
To start creating your video production, begin adding video clips and images to the video tracks in the timeline.
Note: you may prefer to add video clips and images using the storyboard mode, since this view is simpler than the timeline mode. However, you can only add clips to the first track in this mode. Therefore, this section uses the timeline mode in all of the procedures. |
You can add video clips and images at any position on any video track in the timeline. Just start placing the media on a timeline track, in a sequence that tells your story.
Note: if you want to add media to a precise position on the timeline, consider using timeline markers. See Adding Timeline Markers for more information. |
If you insert or drop media onto other existing media clips that are on the timeline, don't worry. CyberLink PowerDirector will prompt you to use its ripple editing feature to overwrite, insert, replace, split, trim, transition, or speed up media to help you easily place the media where you want it.
Once you add a video clip or image to any timeline track, click the Tools button above the timeline and then select PiP Designer to edit the clips properties in the PiP Designer. See Modifying Media Clips in the PiP Designer for more information.
Note: you can add additional tracks to your project's timeline in the Track Manager, allowing you to have up to 99 overlays displayed on a video at the same time. See Track Manager for more information. |
