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.

[@malgorzatawarzecha787]

I have bought Cyberlink due to your PowerDirector University Tutorials. Thank You a lot! ☺👌

[@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!

[@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.

[@mayapurvoice]

It clarified and simplified many things... Thanks Maliek!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You're welcome.

[@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.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

No problem, happy to help.

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.

[@Stu28732]

Great video thanks! What about when making videos with split screens? I.e two tracks showing at the same time. Do I have to put transitions on both tracks?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yes you need to add transitions to both

[@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.

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!

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]

Thank you for the kind words.

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

[@phils4634]

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).

[@cinematic1man]

Excellent tutorial !!!!

[@indicaviamusic]

Congratulations for your great tutorials, i have one question, i edit music videos, but how can i make a transition that only affects video but not audio? when i make a transition between the clips the audio also gets affected! i only want to modify the video but the audio should be continous. Is this possible? Thanks again, and best regards

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I discuss that in the video. 1:52

[@indicaviamusic]

PowerDirector University thank you, got it!!

[@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]

@@PDU_Tutorials thank you very much. I have photo director and have resized with this but will keep looking for a batch resize. Have a great day and keep up the great work.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

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

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

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

[@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]

backporchpicker That’s what I do

[@GinetteFineArt]

Great videos. Thanks for making them. I am using the trial version of this right now to see if I want to buy it. Have been using Vegas pro but it's so slow processing movies. This software makes movies FASTER!

[@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! ^^

[@lancemcque1459]

@8:10 are these options available in ver 14? I have a bunch of photos on my timeline and want to add random transitions to them automatically. I can't seem to find an option for that.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I don't have 14 anymore so I can't say. You'd be better off asking on the forum or my PD Users group on Facebook. If someone one either one of those sites has PD 14 they can tell you.

[@SirGregory]

I've been looking everywhere to find out how to apply a transition to all clips, and you gave me three options. Thanks so much Maliek. Now for a related question... is there a way to apply a transition to only selected clips in the timeline? Cheers, Greg. (Liked and subscribed!)

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thanks Greg. Try selecting multiple clips and then applying a transition to the timeline.

[@SirGregory]

If I have several clips selected, as soon as I select a transition the clips are de-selected, leaving only options to apply to all clips.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Just a shot in the dark. If that didn't work I'm not aware of any other way that you can apply transitions.

[@u2bNeil]

[@SilverfoxAdventuresSweden]

Thanks for nice videos, really big help for a beginner

[@mikehunt8997]

Thank you very much for this presentation. I was wondering why the online support from Corel Video Studio couldn't explain the difference between overlap and cross transitions. Corel support told me to clear the cashes and reset the program. I had a number of videos on the timeline and wondering why the overall duration was changing. The slideshows I create, the timing of the pictures with the song lyrics are essential to my videos. I will look into buying Power Director. I hope it is as easy to use, when doing slideshows, like Adobe Photoshop Elements12 is. Thanks.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I think it is super easy to use. Check out my slide show tutorials.

[@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.
