You have great lessons, but this is one of your best. It certainly seems like a lot of work for 7 seconds, but, boy does it amp up the quality of a video as opposed to traditional transitions. Well done! Thanks for teaching.

Nice! I just did a masking effect for a video a day ago. Amazing what the mask and keyframes can do.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Agreed. Thanks for watching.

[@chrislauterbach8856]

I remember an earlier tut that did something like this, but not with the same degree of complexity. This one is very well executed, and strikes me at a much more senior experience level. Despite going back as far as PD14, remind me not to shoot too many trees in the future. LOL

[@PDU_Tutorials]

LOL! Thanks. Lots of trees to choose from for a transition in this video. Can barely see the people through the trees.

[@DavidLorenzoFlorida]

I tried this in PowerDirector 365. Painfully went frame by frame to mask out the pole (tree in your case). It looks great when I save and play it back. But after "producing" it there is about a frame's worth of the first scene visible to the left of the pole. I went back into the mask editor frame by frame and it looks fine again (no adjustments necessary). Play it back, fine. Produce it and again a frame's worth of the first scene lagging to the left of the pole. So, it appears there is a quirk that has developed between PD 18 and now.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Might need to report that to CyberLink.

I'd love to see a tutorial on how you create and insert the red arrow, circle, and box graphics you use to highlight things on your tutorials as well as how you "zoom in" on those items in your screen-shots. Thanks!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Hi, those call outs are created by my screen recording software. It is called Camtasia. If you have PD 365 it comes with arrows, circles, etc. If you have PD 18 you can purchase the shapes to use with PowerDirector if you want. You can buy it here using my affiliate link. bit.ly/3bGSXqn

[@Paul1962]

I've been trying to create a custom mask transition, but the mask nodes keep randomly disappearing at the keyframes? have you had this happen? any suggestions? Thanks Paul

[@PDU_Tutorials]

No, that’s never happened to me. Not aware of a means to address it.

[@neilforbes416]

I could think of a situation where I'd use this effect, I walk off camera to the right, camera pans to left, the frame of a door in the background is where the new scene begins to appear, as it does, I walk onto the camera from the left. The only thing now is, can I do this on PD14 Ultra?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Neil Forbes If anyone knows what can or can’t be done in Pd 14 Ultra it’s you. Thanks for always watching.

[@LeeVideo]

I have been watching your tutorials and re-watched some of the videos to give me some ideas of how I can create a short introduction video of pulling some thing out of a box horizontally. Or lit a box end on fire and slowly burning/moving from left to right to reveal what's in the box. I just can't think of a way to do it. I am using PowerDirector 17.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Lisa-Paul Lee Make image layers of the box using a photo editor. Then you can place one layer on an upper track, one on a lower track and the hall on a track in between. Then you can make it come out of the box.

[@louienicastro]

PLEASE HELP! OK, so this is all good BUT there is a related issue I am having which is killing me... I am in the middle of a project synced to separate music audio track and I want to add a overlapped transition (obviously wanting the two moving image clips blend with each other) now in the middle of it. How do I make PD NOT drag the entire timeline left when I add this overlapped transition in the middle of the project (it will make everything after out of sync with audio)? If I use 'cross' instead of 'overlap' then the clips stop/start playing halfway through the transition. The clips have not been trimmed or purged down to exact time so there is more clip available for the transition to use POST/PRE but HOW DO I DO THIS?? Thanks for any help in in advance y'all.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

If you use overlap it will always move the second clip over the first clip which moves the timeline. There is no way around it that I am aware of.

[@ZuLu49FiLmLLC]

Malik your last tutorial that I told you I was going to put it in the video I only use part of it color replacement cuz I had to screenshot and I never really used it but it I actually all right on letters but not actual textures it Blends them together too much like grass or clothing I would have to go to Color director for that but the video is coming out on Monday check It Out if you ever get a chance creative idea came from me all shot in one location

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Bryant Townes Sounds cool. I’ll try to check it our later

[@MrHartApart]

can i do this on 16? oh! should i even upgrade to 365, or just get 18? also, unless youre on the east coast, why are you already awake?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

AndyHasFeet You should only get 365 if you plan to buy the new version every year or want the free effect packs. You should only get 18 if 16 doesn’t have features you need that are in 18. It’s 1:03pm and I have been awake for hours. I schedule my videos to upload weeks in advance so I don’t need to be awake when they upload.

I tired to do from video clip to other video clip. It does not work. Could do other tutorial Mask Transition from driving to boat? And whenever I put two clips on line 1 and other one is line 2. When I play, video clip becomes static?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I used video clips in this tutorial so I know it works. I would not make another tutorial of the same effect. If you are unable to make it I suggest you start a thread on the PowerDirector forum stating what you are trying to do and share your clips and your project via a link to Google Drive so the forum members can see what's going on and give you tips on how to get it done.

[@KidssciVideos]

Hey Maliek, do you have any advice for using the new Shutterstock subscription for making custom end screens? I think it would be very cool to be able to pick one of the Shutterstock videos and add elements for Like/Comment/Subscribe/Watch Another Video rather than one of the kind of lame pay end screen templates (I don't like any of them). I'm sure your PowerDirector genius can come up with something AWESOME... PS, long time subscriber... PPS, can't watch any other PowerDirector tutorials, you've ruined them all for me :-)

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I don't have any advice on doing that but I'm pretty sure it can be done. Would take a lot of work to create all of the elements.

[@ZuLu49FiLmLLC]

I think it would have been better if you were to use the custom Mass where you can draw for that kind of transition that one is good too after you produced it it look choppy even after you faded it out

[@ZuLu49FiLmLLC]

I love the tutorial

When I'm producing video and last minute my video is stuck and not process why...?

I have no idea. Could be several reasons for that. You need to get support from CyberLink. In the program go to "File > Rate and Suggestions" to send them feedback. Be sure to include your email so they respond to you.

[@rohlen6215]

Ok I’ve got a tough question. For you guys it’s probably easy or just plain impossible. I record dance recital videos for my daughters studio. There are 3 shows with about 54 numbers in each show. I use 2 cameras. One locked down, full stage and one for closeups. I get 4 audio feeds. 2 from the board, one shotgun ambient crowd and one stage mic for taps. I have always done jump cuts to keep the audio and video form overlapping or having a dead spot. My question is, since I have over 150 numbers to edit and produce. Is there any easy (one or two click) way to do a smooth fade from camera to camera without screwing up the audio? Thanks.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

When you apply transitions use cross instead of overlap. You can change the settings in preferences. You can also select a transition, select apply to all videos, and select cross

[@rohlen6215]

@@PDU_Tutorials I’ve watched your tutorial on that and have tried it many times. I must be doing something wrong. I would like a smooth fade from one view to a close up during a song, without a break of silence. The only thing I can think of is to have the two video timelines, overlap them by 2 seconds and leave the audio alone. I’m not doing that 150+ times. I’ve set the transitions to cross but it doesn’t seem to do what I’m looking for. Maybe I’m not exposing it properly
