CyberLink PowerDirector

Note: * optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector. Check the readme file for detailed

versioning information.

Customizing Video Profiles

After you select the format of your produced project file, depending on your

selection, there may be video quality settings you can customize in the video

profiles section.

These video quality settings are called profiles, and can consist of your video’s

resolution, bitrate compression, audio compression type, and more.

Before you output your production, you may want to create a new quality profile,

edit an existing one, or select a different existing profile and other options from

one of the available drop-downs in the production options section.

Configuring Production Preferences

Before you begin producing, you can select from the following production

preferences:

Note: the preferences that are available depend on the file format you selected and the

version of CyberLink PowerDirector that is installed on your computer.

•

Fast video rendering technology: SVRT and Hardware video encoder are

options that can reduce production time (available for creating an HDD

camcorder file only). The Hardware video encoder option is only enabled if

your computer supports hardware acceleration (NVIDIA graphics card that

supports CUDA technology, an AMD graphics card that supports AMD

Accelerated Parallel Processing, or a computer with Intel Core Family Processor

technology), and it is enabled on the Hardware Acceleration preferences tab.

• Dolby Digital 5.1: select this preference if you want to include Dolby Digital

5.1 audio in your produced video file (available for creating an HDD camcorder

file only).

• x.v.Color: x.v.Color is a new color system that can display a wider color range

than usual (available for creating an HDD camcorder file only). CyberLink

PowerDirector can generate an x.v.Color-compliant stream, which is backward

compatible with RGB displays, while offering the opportunity to achieve better

visual quality if your playback environment is x.v.Color ready).
