Magic Tools

When editing your video project in the timeline, you can use magic tools to edit

and touch up your audio, video, and image clips. Magic tools can also help you add

a creative style to your video production or add the right background music.

CyberLink PowerDirector offers the following magic tools:

• Magic Movie Wizard: automatically creates an edited video blended with

stylish effects and transitions.

• Magic Fix: fixes and enhances your photos and videos, including fixing shaky

video, enhancing video quality, removing red-eye, and enhancing the focus on

photos.

• Magic Motion: applies zooms and pans to your images. You can also use the

Magic Motion Designer to manually customize motion on an image.

• Magic Cut: condenses long video segments into shorter clips that contain only

the best moments.

• Magic Style: creates professional videos with pre-designed style templates

automatically.

• Magic Music*: adds background music that automatically adjusts to suit

different durations.

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

versioning information.

The magic tools that are available is dependent on the media in the timeline that is

selected. For more information, see "Using Magic Tools" on page 63.
