This chapter details the steps required for pre-production, including the import of
media into the media library, the capture of media within Capture mode, and
setting your CyberLink PowerDirector preferences.

production (for example on your computer’s hard drive or a removable device),
you can import the files directly into CyberLink PowerDirector’s media library in
the Media Room.

Image: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF
CyberLink PowerDirector also supports the import of the following camera RAW
image formats, which are then converted to JPEG once imported: ARW (SONY),
CR2 (Canon), DNG (Ricoh), ERF (Epson), KDC (Kodak), MRW (Konica Minolta), NEF
(Nikon), NRW (Nikon), ORF (OLYMPUS), PEF (Pentax), RAF (Fujifilm), RW2

Note: the supported file formats depend on the version of CyberLink PowerDirector
you have installed on your computer. Check the readme file for detailed versioning
information.
Click to import media into the media room’s library, using one of two options:
• import media files individually.
• import an entire folder that contains the media files you want to use in your
current project.
You can also drag and drop media onto the CyberLink PowerDirector window to
import it into the program.
