[@wendypratt6837]

Thank you! I haven't tried transitions yet but now I feel confident to give it a go!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Go for it!

[@sunnypetawriter9624]

Wow! Thank you so much. This video I learned a lot about transitions especially - setting the preferences before I start, having a favorites folder and a better understanding of how they work. You rock! And I like that you've answered queries from people. And, yes, I subscribed. I hope you do really well out of your videos on here because they truly offer a lot of great information.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you got something useful out of my content. Have a great Friday!

[@peterstrand68]

Thanks a lot, I was going crazy trying to get it right with the transitions and it turns out that your suggestion about changing the preferens from overlap to cross was the solution. Thank you.

[@johnmark1294]

New to me learning was audio transition. Didn't notice it till now. Thanks

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yes, that is a cool feature that a lot of people aren't aware of.

[@arichster]

I have to add a comment about Malik and his style -- from his "peeps" to his "love" to his CORNY jokes. When I first started to watch Malik's PD videos, I nearly rolled my eyes -- it was just so hoaky and too cute. By my third PD video, not only do I appreciate the real quality of his videos but I have grown to LOVE this unique quirky character that he creates for the ins and outs of his videos. During his videos he is 100 business. But now when I search for a video and see that there is a PD video by Malik, I pick that one because 1) I know it will be excellent quality and 2) his quirky funny intros and character will always bring a smile to my face at a moment when I am trying to do something which is always challenging and anxiety producing. There is nothing quite like a friendly warm funny person easing you into something that is otherwise daunting. Malik, you are a wonderful teacher and clearly a person fille with lots of love for what you do and for your "peeps" who I now count myself among. Keep on keeping on my man!!!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I'm adding this comment to my website. It means a lot to know that my content is helping you and bringing a smile to your face. TYSM.

Yes you need to add transitions to both

[@matthewrussell1997]

[@vastvisualsbyfarrfilms7227]

very good lesson.. I needed that, i haven't been using transitions to their fullest.. thanks again

[@PDU_Tutorials]

😃

[@JohnFeeken]

I’m a tech savvy guy so I can just buy this program and get started,right? Nope! Next I found your videos. He makes learning fun and gets the info to sink in (if only my other teachers did that). My next idea was finding other videos for an all around experience. I found people tripping over their words, laughing at their own jokes and guessing what things did while calling it a tutorial. My final step was running back to Maliek’s videos. Thanks man!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You're welcome. Thanks for the kind words.

I've used a few editing programs in the past few years and I thought I'd try PowerDirector 16 Ultimate on a suggestion of a friend of mine that has been using this program for a couple years now. Being a huge you tube user when I need to find out how things work and/or reviews of products, I came across yours which I have to say is by far the best i've found yet and I've looked at several. Most likely, I'll be looking at yours way more than the rest of them so, thank you so very much for doing what you're doing what you're doing.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

[@FactsaboutCatsVideos]

Thanks, this saved me a lot of work. I didn't know about the cross option and needles to say, it was a nightmare to apply transitions to all clips and afterwards making any change. Great video

thanks fam didn't know you could apply transition to everything at once thanks man

Thanks, Maliek! Now I know how to use transitions! UR the BEST!

[@johnnyk499]

Thanks for making these videos... They have helped me out allot... One question I have is how do you add transitions to a multicam edited video without affecting the synched audio. When I have tried to add transitions the audio is then off to my music video. Thanks!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You need to modify the behavior of the transition. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inywoXepespri7M

[@jamesdavies3428]

Hi Maliek, I have just started using PowerDirector and your videos have really helped me so much! I have just recently upgraded to the Director Suite 365 because of this! I'm just creating a video using the grand opening transition and i was hoping you would be able to provide so info on how to create a 'grand closing' transition I noticed there is a create a transition.... would you possibly be able to release a video showing how to do this? TIA!

thanks. I'm new to power director 2019. hoping some of these still apply. my question is, when I have more than one video on my timeline and I want the audio only from one of them. does one of your videos cover that? or how to import audio files?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You can mute the other audio tracks by deselecting the audio in the left of each track.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

[@andrewelder2739]

Thanks Maliek! I've noticed when dragging a Transition to the end of a clip with no neighbor, sometimes the system gets confused whether it's a starting or ending Transition. For example, I'll add a Fade to the end of a clip, but when it hits the Transition, it jumps to black, then slowly fades IN rather than out! Have you noticed that? In properties, there isn't an option for In or Out, so I don't know how to smarten it up...

[@gradeapiff9370]

Usefull Indeed, Im working on my video editing game! all thanks to you that im able to do ANYTHING lol

[@howtorealestate7528]

Excellent training. thanks

[@NaturesInvitation]

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I have about 200 images to add transitions to and I was not looking forward to doing this one by one. Now all I need to do is find how to apply the same process to resizing images. I know you an apply a resize to all images but this stretches images and you lose image sharpness/quality. I need a resize process that will enlarge the image not stretch to fit. Will check your excellent channel to see if you have some PD magic on this. :)

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thanks for the kudos. PD isn't a true photo editor. If you're looking to get precise photo editing you might want to look to a dedicated photo editor for that. Once the changes are made you can then import to PD to make your video.

[@NaturesInvitation]

@@PDU_Tutorials hey thanks man. appreciate the quick personal reply. so your saying then to look for some way to batch resize images to 16:9 ratio in a separate programme... maybe photo director

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Nature's Invitation If you feel that PD is not giving you the results you want when you edit the photo then yes. There are lots of free photo editors you can get online.

[@NaturesInvitation]

Great tutorial as always! We watch "yours" on the lap-top, whilst copying what you do on the desktop - makes for a highly productive experience :-D Must say that PD is a pretty amazing package, and can certainly produce content good enough to grace "The Big Screen" (in terms of product elegance).

[@jace3112]

I just want to start out by saying that I love your tutorials and they've helped me a lot because I just got Cyberlink and I've been looking for something like this. On my channel I make AMVs (Anime Music Videos) and I was wondering if you could do some sort of tutorial for AMV effects or something. Thanks! ^^

[@scottbenjamin8251]

Great work as always. I am trying to make the switch from Pinnacle to PD but the standard transition seems to be overly complicated. As you know in Pinnacle I could grab the clip and drag to the transition time I wanted for a cross dissolve. Can this be done in PD?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Transitions can only be dragged in between clips or to the beginning or end of a clip. You can change how the transition behaves in the settings or by modifying the transition. I show how to do that in the tutorial.

[@RDanielB]

Dear Maliek, will you return to bring us new videos due the changes in PD? Personally I miss you; ‘cause you are a really great teacher! 👋🏻

[@renethomas1526]

[@totallylegit4092]

Hi there, Thank you for the tutorials. Just a suggestion, when you apply a change, such as the audio transition, please do a demonstration to show what it is like before and after.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Totally Legit Thank you.

[@omanadehoje]

hello Maliek, thanks for the class. How do I install multiple transitions in Power Director 20 at once? And titles, how to install several at once?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You can only install them using the CyberLink Application manager.

[@blackhandofset]

Exactly what I needed, thumbs up

[@PDU_Tutorials]

😃

[@wyattoneable]

Really good tutorials here, thanks you.

[@weddone9267]

This is a great tutorial, thank you! I'm having issues with 365. It seems I can only add one transition to one clip. Then the rest seem to just "not take" I can drag them down, the little bounding box pops up like it's going to add it, then the slider just bounces to the end of the clip. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You’re welcome. If you are placing a video transition on the video half (the top) of the clip it should stay as long as you are placing it in between clips, at the front of a clip, or at the end of a clip. If you are doing those things you should contact CyberLink for support. The link is on my channel under the About section.

[@donltoys]

I've noticed alot of newer video's have borders above and below the video's. Sometimes it's a blur effect border and sometimes it's like a color border. Do you happen to have a video teaching how to do that?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Check out my letterbox tutorial. I don't have one for a blur border.

[@cinematic1man]

Excellent tutorial !!!!

[@maximuscarsonite9118]

Great video! I'm trying to create a seamless video loop on PD but I can't find the "cross dissolve" option...any suggestions?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You get the option to add a cross dissolve based on the transition you select. Not all transitions have that option. After you add the transition to the timeline click on the Modify button above the timeline and the option to change the transition will be there if it is available for that transition. Watch at 4:35 (not available) and 5:40 (available) to see the difference.

[@YKOyoungknockout]

[@PlayhouseToys]

Hi Maliek, why am I having problems dragging my transitions down with PD 16? Thanks

[@nickam4524]

Hi Maliek, Love your tutorials. On this transition tutorial refers how to apply between the video...and if you have many videos can be done in one shot. No mention If have 20-40 pictures how to insert a transition between the pictures in one shut. let me know if works the same way for still pictures. Regards, Nick

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Works the same way.

[@whpromo]

Thanks for making the video, saves me a lot of time just experimenting to figure out how transitions work in the program. There is one area I'd like advice on regarding transitions. How would you use them when using two video tracks. I am running a 2nd video track that is offset from the 1st track so that I can have more control over the audio in the 2nd track (i.e. suppress voice and background noise.)

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I would set the transitions to cross so that the audio and video on both tracks stay in sync.

[@whpromo]

@@PDU_Tutorials Thank you! That works like a charm.

[@whpromo]

@@PDU_Tutorials Wanted to mention that the video on how to edit sound, and mute specific areas within an audio track was also a very big help in this instance.

[@backporchpicker]

Thanks for the useful tutorial on transitions, and info regarding audio sync.. In my PD14 Ult after a multicam edit and clips are moved to the timeline, inserting a fade (dissolve) will take the audio out of sync between the clips etc. I am aware of the work-around, copy , paste video on track below, stretch required clip, split, copy and paste upwards as a cross fade.( in the y/t workaround video tutorial, adding transitions to PD 12 multicam designer) Ive now changed in preferences, the default transition behavior, from overlap to cross, and can insert a fade (dissolve) without losing audio sync. Is this the correct method as I cant find any tutorials/info, on inserting transitions within a multicam sequence.

[@PDU_Tutorials]
