CyberLink PowerDirector Help

Click the button to open the Preferences window, and then select the File tab. The available options are as follows:

Default locations:

Import folder: indicates the last folder that media was imported from. To change this folder, click Browse and then select a new folder.

Export folder: set the folder where captured media is saved. To change this folder, click Browse and then select a new folder.

Note: the export folder is where produced projects are outputted to by default. Also, when you burn a file to disc, this folder is where the temp file is created before burning it to disc.

Filename:

Captured video prefix: enter a default name for captured video files. When capturing from a DV/HDV tape, select the Append time information after the file prefix option to add the date captured information to the filename.

Snapshot filename: enter a default name for captured snapshots in both 2D and 3D. Select a file format from the drop-down list for your snapshots. You have the choice of BMP, JPG, GIF and PNG 2D formats, or MPO and JPS when taking snapshots of 3D content. The captured 3D snapshots are also in 3D.

Snapshot destination: select the location where PowerDirector saves captured snapshots from the drop-down. You can save them as a file, copy them to your clipboard, or set them as your wallpaper background on your computer's desktop.
