Editing Your M edia

Rotation: enter in the preferred orientation in degrees for media clips at

different moments (keyframes) in your video production.

Motion: in the fields provided, enter the X and Y position of the center of the

selected media clip at different moments (keyframes) in your video

production. Changing these values for different keyframes will create motion

in the clip.

Note: CyberLink PowerDirector sets the value of the top-left corner of the

media as the 0 axis, with the bottom-right corner having a value of 1.0, 1.0.

The center position in the video frame is 0.500, 0.500.

Freeform position: in the eight freeform position fields provided, define the

shape of the selected media clip by setting the X and Y positions for its four

corners in the video frame. By entering different values at different moments

(keyframes) in your video production, the clip's freeform shape can change

over time in your video production. See Changing the Shape of Media for

more information on freeform media clips.

Enable 3D depth on the PiP media: if you are creating a 3D video production,

select this option to give the PiP media a 3D* effect. Once enabled, use the

slider to set the amount of depth you want the PiP media to have in 3D.

Dragging the slider left will make the 3D PiP object seem nearer to the

audience (in the foreground), while dragging it right will make it appear

farther away (in the background).

Note: when using this feature, select the button to enable 3D mode for

best editing results. See Previewing in 3D Mode for more information on

using this mode. * Optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector. Check the

version table on our web site for detailed versioning information.

Volume

For video and audio clips in your video production, use the available slider to adjust

the level of the selected clip's volume at different moments in your production.

Adding Keyframes

In the Keyframe Settings window, there is a mini timeline for the selected media

clip. The timeline matches the duration of the selected media clip.
