Editing Your M edia
In the Content Aware Editing window, the segments indicated in green are the
recommended portions of the clip that CyberLink PowerDirector believes are the
most interesting, or are the "good parts". They may include camera zooms or pans,
and segments that contain a lot of motion or people talking (speech). CyberLink
PowerDirector also performs face detection on the video clip to highlight sections
that include people's faces.
The light brown segments are parts that need fixing, because either the video is
shaky or poorly lit. You can choose to fix or remove these "bad parts".
Check the content selection categories for details of what each highlighted
segment consists of.
Note: hover your mouse over the highlighted segments for more detailed
information about what they include.
The segments that are not highlighted are parts of your video that CyberLink
PowerDirector believes are not necessary to include. You can however include
these segments by selecting them with the mark in and out buttons.
Previewing the Video Content
Use the player controls to preview the entire video clip. To preview a specific
highlighted segment, right-click on it and then select Preview this Segment.
Playback stops once the selected segment playback is complete.
Fixing Content
If the segments that CyberLink PowerDirector has highlighted for removal contain
parts of your video that you don't want to exclude, you can instantly fix them in the
Content Aware Editing window.
To fix segments, do either of the following:
right-click on the highlighted segment and then select Apply Fix to Entire
Scene. Select this option to apply the required fix to the entire scene in the
video clip, which is indicated by the detected scene markers. This ensures
there are no sudden changes in lighting or other video properties in the
scene. In the Auto Fixer window use the player controls to preview how the
fixed content will look. If satisfied with the results, ensure that Apply auto fix is
selected and then click on OK to apply the fix to the scene.
