CyberLink PowerDirector Help
All video clips have an interlacing (TV) format, which specifies how frames are displayed. Using video clips with conflicting (or incorrect) TV formats can result in degraded video quality in your final production.
Before you produce your video, it is recommended that you set all of the video clips to the same format. While CyberLink PowerDirector can normally detect and suggest the correct format, some interlaced video (such as a video with very little motion) may be misjudged as a progressive video.
CyberLink PowerDirector automatically produces interlaced video for DVD and DV-AVI. Only change this setting if you are sure that CyberLink PowerDirector has wrongly set the format.
Note: this is an extremely important step to take before production, as it can drastically affect final video quality. It is recommended that you check the user guide for your video camcorder to determine what format your video should be. |
To set a video clip's TV format, do this:
1.Right-click on a video clip in the timeline, select Set Clip Attributes, and then Set TV format.
2.In the Interlace/Progressive Settings window, do one of the following:
•click the Scan and Suggest Format button to have CyberLink PowerDirector auto detect and set the format for you.
•manually select one of the three available formats. See the description on the right of the window for a detailed description of each format.
3.Click OK to set your changes.
