User questions & answers

Question:	Can this produce 1080 videos
Answer:	Yes. Here are some examples of high quality production capabilities: - MPEG-4 1920 x 1080/30p (16Mbps) - translation: MPEG-4 encoding, 1920 x 1080 resolution, 120 frames per second (fps), requires 16 Mbps - MPEG-4 1920 x 1080/120p (60Mbps) - translation: MPEG-4 encoding, 1920 x 1080 resolution, 120 frames per second (fps), requires 60 Mbps - MPEG-4 4086 x 2160/30p (50Mbps) - translation: MPEG-4 encoding, 4086 x 2160 resolution, 30 frames per second (fps), requires 50 Mbps It also enables these additional production formats: MKV, M2TS, AVI, MPEG-2, Windows Media file (WMV), and possibly more. It even leverages 'Fast video rendering technology', such as SVRT and Intel Quick Sync Video. I am not sure how the other individual who posted could have 'wreaked havoc' on their stored photos. This product is very easy to use (especially after watching a couple of YouTube videos) and has not wreaked havoc on anything for which I use it.
Question:	does the download come as a disk or a passward
Answer:	You download the files and they give you a license number to activate it. I think you can order a disk for a fee, but I'm not sure about that.
Question:	Is this good for you tube? Audacity software
Answer:	I don’t post to YouTube. But I’ve made 2 videos since first getting this in mid- Dec. Having never done video editing before, I was very happy to have been able to learn enough about the software to splice and connect video segments, and insert titles, photos, and audio into a seamless video in 2days. Downloaded the user manual and used that and the training videos they have on-site to get up to speed. When you “produce” your video you can do so in a number of formats, so I can’t see you having any problems. Good luck!
Question:	What is the difference between powerdirector 16 ultra and ultimate? do either of them come with a download disk
Answer:	Hello, Please go to the below link to view the full differences: https://www.cyberlink.com/products/powerdirector-ultra/compare-versions_en_US.html You can purchase either the box version that comes on a disc, or the digital download version. FYI, the box version comes with instructions to download a digital version as well. Regards, David

360° material can now be rendered in VEGAS Pro 16. Templates for several current camera models are also available.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this run on Win
Answer:	I had to work with the Corel help desk for over 10 days to get mine to work on Windows 10. The software disk that came with it was labeled Windows 7 and 8 and Copyrighted 2013 (before Windows 10 was released). The help desk eventually sent me to a link where I could download a new version of Pinnacle Studio for Dazzle which was Copyrighted 2020. Maybe I just got a box that has been sitting on the shelves for years?
Question:	Will this plug into 1394 FireWire to upload mini dvc footage onto computer
Answer:	It's AV (Component) to USB. So no compatibility with FireWire out of the box.
Question:	does this device capture in avi
Answer:	Yes it does Dayna. The video editing software that comes with it has this feature in its recording settings.
Question:	Does this work with vhs-c tapes or a jvc gr-ax74 camera
Answer:	You run the video from your camera through your computer via the Dazzle. It feeds to the dazzle program and then creates a cd. It is a bit of a trip learning to use Dazzle program including a few failed disk prints. Once you get it down it is a breeze.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a monthly subsrcription cost in addition to the base product fee
Answer:	Not For Power Director 19 Ultimate, which is a 'Perpetual License'. Only the '365' bundles are 'Subscription' and require a monthly fee. For you, the only time you will need to purchase an upgrade is if you purchase a new DVD Recorder that needs support, or MS comes out with a new OS, or there are new features in PowerDirector 20 that is not in your older '19' version, etc. Regards, Craig
Question:	Can I do text scrolling up and down then make a video out of it
Answer:	We provide Text Scrolling plugins already, such as how 'Star Wars' did theirs, and you have control on the direction the text will scroll. If you wish to record your own text scrolling, save it to a video, and then import and add, that is possible as well of course. Regards, Craig
Question:	Does this program allow you to prepare finished movie for iPad
Answer:	Yes, PowerDirector gives you 'Full Control' over what format and resolution of your output video. You just need to be aware of what formats are supported by your device, before you 'Produce'. The iPad natively supports many of the common video formats used today, including H.264, MP4, M4V, MOV, MPEG-4 and M-JPEG. By default, these play in the iPad's Videos app. The iPad does have limitations within these formats. For example, H.264 videos are limited to 1080 pixels and 30 frames per second. MPEG-4 videos are limited to 2.5 Mbps and 640 by 380 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second. Videos exceeding these limits may not play correctly on an iPad, or may not play at all. Although the iPad does support stereo sound, you will need headphones or external speakers to hear it. The built-in speaker provides only mono playback. Regards, Craig
Question:	If i buy this would I still need a subscription for the mobile version
Answer:	Yes. PowerDirector 19 for the PC does not include a license for PowerDirector for Mobile. Regards, Craig

Question:	Does this software support green screen/color keying? How many layers? Thanks

User questions & answers

Question:	can it do photo slideshows
Answer:	It can do the "slideshows" as movie segments; then you can in/out any way you want, and define the fade periods, give them background, add your own music, etc. Just do it as a movie. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAp9WMt8elM - better than a "slideshow".
Question:	What are options for sound editing
Answer:	Dear Valery:With this Sony Movie Studio Platinum Suite 12 software, you have many choices of audio editing, for example you can extract the audio from a video, you can change the volume of a song in MP3, you can make conversions of audio from one format to another, mix, trim, add, add silence between songs, add fade at the beginning and at the end of a song, you can add special effects, among other things but I'm commenting only a few options that I've used, but still have not used most of the options that the software has naturally required patience and time to take advantage of the program, as it also has an excellent tutorial that will indicating you step by step how to do, it is really very well recommend it since I've had other editors and this is the best and all off the foregoing their specialty is the edition of video clips.
Question:	Which is better, buying the disc or the download
Answer:	It really depends on your preference. If you prefer to have the disc, then the box version is the way to go. If you prefer to have stuff right away then grab the download. (I was able to access mine minutes after purchase.)Since Amazon lists the Download as "Currently unavailable" I'd say you're stuck with the box version either way. You're Welcome.However, I recommend skipping 12 and buying Sony Movie Studio 13. SMSP 13 is sleeker, performs better and has two different modes. Can't remember the names right off the top of my head. Let's call them "Noobie" and "Advanced". Also, I can't recommend buying the download version of SMSP 12 from Amazon either way (I didn't receive my NewBlueFX plugins with mine). Basically, my answer is skip SMSP 12 and grab SMSP 13 when you find it on sale. Unless you need it A.S.A.P and you can get it at a real cheap price then just grab 12.
Question:	is there a patch to operate with windows version
Answer:	Yes. Sony released an update on Nov 1, 2012 to make this Win8 compatible - 32 or 64 bit. Go to the website sonycreativesoftware.com, and there is a horizontal menu at the top for downloads, or go to the page for Movie Studio Platinum 12 and look for a link for updates.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a yearly plan
Answer:	no, one time purchase
Question:	How does this compare to the Adobe products
Answer:	It is better in and not better, depends on what type of video/movie editing your are trying to accomplish. They both have features that the other one doesn't have, so you have to know what you are wanting to do with a video/movie before you grade a software on Fair-Good-Better-Best. I have both Adobe and Cyberlink and I sometimes use both of them on the same video/movie production because they both have features that prove "Best" for the editing.
Question:	Is the program from the cd rom able to copy to flash drive so i can install on a computer that does not have cd rom drive
Answer:	You are able to download PowerDirector Trial from Cyberlink website, and use key provided with your box to unlock from Trial mode. Regards, Craig
