[@helgividar]

Thank you man! I asked you do this video years ago and now you finally did it. I have been waiting for this video for a long time.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

😀 Takes a long time to get to each request. I get at least 10 a day and I only make 52 videos a year so...yeah. 👍🏾

[@DietricWilliams]

Great stuff. I've been doing many of these cuts and didn't know they had actual names. And the girls are River Dancing.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thanks. Yes, just about every cut you can do has a name. I've was told that they are Irish Step Dancing. When I ask about River Dancing they said that River Dancing is the name that was popularized by the show, but I guess they are really the same thing. 😃

Another ton of knowledge that has been imparted to my skull! I miss the snappy intros, this would have been a great video for one ...... "I'm gonna cut you 6 different ways!!" They show your excessive (expressive) personality! Thanks again Maliek! Merry Christmas!

I still do those intros (see my last Marvel Intro tutorial). There are some other factors that determine whether I do the "snappy intro" or not. There will definitely be more to come.

Always enjoyable and I seem to pick up a tibbit or two. I normally manipulate audio volume on the clip itself using the audio controls. Using keyframe is better for those more demanding audio adjustments. Thanks.

Hi Maliek, I love your videos! Can you please upload a video explaining blending modes and how to use them? It'll help me a lot!!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

There isn't a guide to say "Use screen for this, or use multiply for that..." There is a list of what each blend mode does www.slrlounge.com/workshop/the-ultimate-visual-guide-to-understanding-blend-modes/ You use them for just about any purpose that fits your needs depending on the clips you are blending. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p56UoKmdaJuWgrM

[@Sunnykhutan]

Thank You Brotther 🙏🙂🙏🙂. That is Cut Taas tic 😊

[@damienc7303]

Cool and interesting video. But what would make it even better is to give 'typical' uses for these. Why would you go for J-cut or a L-cut ? How does it affect the viewer ? For noobs like me, that would be valuable, even though it's a step further than only the 'technical way to do it'. Anyways, thanks for the quality content.

[@milos.sladecka]

Thanks for a very good video. One note - there is an easier way to create keyframes on audio track wherever you want. Select desire audiotrack (left click), then press Ctrl and simply do left mouse click on the horizontal blue line of the audio volume in the audiotrack at the position you want a keyframe. It´s very quick way of creating audio keyframes.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yep.

Malik what's up man I watch alot of your videos and learned alot from your tips..when using Powerdirector do you use an promote your program on affiliated marketing terms...and I'm in the market for a new laptop computer because my processor on my desktop isnt keeping up anymore...I'm curious on which type of laptop or processor do you recommend for users of Powerdirector

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I have an affiliate link in the video description if you'd like to support the channel. I do not recommend a specific laptop. You can go to the specs page for the program and then make sure the laptop you select surpasses the specs required to use the program. www.cyberlink.com/products/powerdirector-video-editing-software/specs_en_US.html

[@enjoyytay4845]

Incredible

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thank you.

[@StudioDaVeed]

I do a version of the Cross Cut/Action Cut for my iRacing videos that works well. I have two views of car on track. There is action or an incident. I start with the In-Car view 1-2 seconds of the clip. Insert the second view of the same action, same time frame of 1 - 2 seconds. Continue the action with the second view for 1-2 seconds. Insert the In-Car view of the second 1-2 seconds. Makes an instant replay that doesn't 'play' as a replay. Keep the clips short as possible; 1-2 seconds. Here is the schematic; each A and B clips are the same length of time showing the same action of two view points. Clip A1 Clip B1 Clip B2 Clip A2 I've played around with this and having Clip B1 flow into Clip B2 seems to be the key. Even though Clip A1 and Clip A2 are separated (in time) by quite a distance it plays as smooth time transition. I usually have the video then continue with Clip A for some time to 'settle' things out. Works best with high speed action.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

This is a very good technique for keeping your audience engaged in the action. People love seeing things from different perspectives/viewing angles. Keep up the great work.

[@Sunnykhutan]

Thank you Brother 🙂🙏🙂🙏

[@matthewszczerba4106]

Thanks you lots. Brand new to this so qq. Can you explain to me why you turn the volume down all the way on both audio clips when you're doing the j and L cuts?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I do not turn them all the way down. I create a fade at the beginning so that the incoming and outgoing volume is not jarring and smoothly transitions into the next clip. You want to hear it build up to the point that the clip is visible.

What those girls on the stage are doing is Irish step dancing. Notice that their arms are at their sides. This style of dancing only involves the use of the legs and feet.

[@DiveMonster]

It is Irish Dancing or Irish Step-Dancing. Made popular by Michael Flatley with his shows Lord of the Dance, Feet of Flames and Riverdance. Extremely bad for the joints with many injuries occurring during their touring all over the world.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

That’s awesome!!!

[@JimEstep12071]

River dancing? I've been doing J cuts and didn't know it had a name

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Ah Ha! River dancing. Thanks Jim. I love J Cuts.

[@kevchua67]

It's actually called Irish Dance. Riverdance is the name of its theatrical performance.

Just wondering if you can advise on a good PC setup for Cyberlink 365 editing. I am about to build a new PC with Intel i5 14500 cpu, rtx 3060 GPU and 32gb ram, do you think this setup would be good enough?

[@Neil-from-Oz]

Also thank you for your quick reply to my query

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You’re welcome.

[@AdventuresWithParker]

Love it! Could I also use the audio transitions to fade in/out on the J and L cuts instead of using the keyframes? Oh, and I believe your lady friends were clogging.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Any way that it can be faded is fine. That’s the third answer I’ve gotten. Irish Step Dancing, River Dancing, and Clogging. Someone said the first two are the same. Are all three the same?

@@PDU_Tutorials So Power Director is the best one?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

@@BESTOFJSB it is up to you to determine what is best fir you. If there was a best editor everyone would be using the same program. There is no best, there is only what’s best for you.

I double check to check if I left any excessive material in the video to properly make sure that I didn't have anything lingering at the end of the video but I didn't see anything what do I do?

Stretch your timeline all the way out so you can see each frame of video. Press the END key on your keyboard. It will send your playhead to the end of the last clip on your timeline. Delete the stray clip.

Hi, so I'm currently using PowerDirector 15, and I was wondering if there was a way to hide the file name when editing cuz it's kinda hard to edit it when it's covering part of the audio file. Any help?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Right click the file when it’s in the media library and choose “change alias” You can try removing the entire name if that doesn’t work give it a name with one letter or one number. Keep in mind this will change the name in the media library as well as the name on the timeline.

[@Krystalle17]

@@PDU_Tutorials Ah! Thank you thank you! That trick helped alot! I actually only needed to change the audio alias in the timeline and nothing went screwy!
