Maliek´s tutorials are simply wonderful in all respects: straightforward, with clear, logical, and concise descriptions, always on point with no wasted time or space, packed with useful and pertinent details, and so skillfully presented that his fluent and natural delivery almost masks his total professionalism. He has a talent for making the complicated appear simple. His is truly a university: it takes the "student" starting from "Editing 101" all the way through to a Ph.D. And the icing on the cake is that his delivery is so pleasant and enjoyable.

Good stuff as always sir! I have always used Colordirector and motion tracking to accomplish something similar. Appreciate the extra tool in my belt.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You’re welcome. The Motion Mask in ColorDirector is easier because it does all the keyframing for you. For those who don't have ColorDirector "this is the way:. Problem is, lots of people are finding that the Motion Mask isn't working as it should. It's turning the background into a spotty white mess instead of turning it green. I'm not aware if CyberLink has fixed the bug yet.

[@Dstick1Spearfishing]

@PowerDirector University Maliek, great tutorial on Masking, in this case above, could you not have just used the Chroma Key and hit the white space to do this more efferently or have I missed something?

Hi Maliek how to make a Thumbnail on Powerdirector for Andriod? Plsease🙁

You can't really make a thumbnail using PowerDirector but here is what you can try. Go to the frame of the video that you want to use as the thumbnail. Pull up the Text/Title tool and add the text that you want. Use your Android device to take a screen shot (usually power button + volume down button). Use your phone to crop the photo so only the thumbnail shows. Save the image to your device.
