Timeline Tools

You have greater control and precision with clearly labeled buttons, a choice of editing modes, a larger preview window, and new and improved features.

Fast Previewing In Low Resolution NEW

After adding a special effect for the first time, you can use the low resolution preview to check out the timing and suitability of your creative decision. Before you produce your movie file, you can switch to high-resolution to focus on the final quality of your movie. Select from the following preview modes:

low resolution
normal resolution
high resolution

Displaying Tracks During Movie Preview NEW

You have the option to display or hide specific tracks for movie previewing (inapplicable to clip previewing). This option lets you focus on the specific effect you are currently considering.

Setting Clip Aspect Ratios NEW

All video clips usually come in two aspect ratios—4:3 (standard-sized TV) and 16:9 (widescreen). Depending on your media clips and the medium you will be using to view your movie, you can adjust your movie’s aspect ratio accordingly with PowerDirector. Before you produce your movie, set the aspect ratio for all of your clips so that it matches the aspect ratio of your project.

Align to Clip Edge

With a simple right mouse click, PowerDirector provides a convenient and accurate method of aligning effects and audio clips with your video clips. Easier than manually dragging into position, you can select whether you prefer aligning clips to the left or right edge of a video clip.

Lockable Tracks

You may lock tracks to protect an entire series of clips or effects from accidental mistakes like deletion or changes to the particular track on the timeline.

Insert DVD Chapters

Setting DVD chapters on the timeline makes creating menu chapters easier by including them in the editing process. You may set chapters evenly according to the full length of the video at the beginning of each clip or according to a set duration. The information created during Edit mode is transferred into the Produce mode, ensuring the DVD authoring process is faster then ever.

Multi-Trim

Multi-trim offers a simple means of editing a long clip by manually inserting multiple in and out points along a timeline. Once the In and Out points have been set, you can delete unwanted video with one click. Two different scenes are easily linked, enabling you to shift your action, the time, or location.

You'll be ensured more accurate trimming with the Magnifier. Magnify a section on the trim bar by a factor of frames or seconds to get a microscopic close-up.
