This is editing school for me, love how you break everything down for slow ppl like me. I watch your videos like im in class and while I'm editing

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thank you so much. I'm glad my videos are helping you learn to edit.

[@thebinderbuilder]

Me too... thats exactly what I'm doing now!

[@gravel2474]

My man! This is the best tutorial i have see for CPD, everything explained thoroughly and plainly, all the basics covered, and in plain simple English.

[@mikekesslerwv8908]

I have watched about half of this video and I am SO HAPPY to have found this. This is just the basic and thorough information I need - I am writing notes so I can reference while working on videos and trying to internalize the information so it is automatic. I really appreciate this video and look forward to viewing others as I begin to master some of the basics.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You’re welcome Mike. I'm glad you found the video useful. Hope to see you in the comments of my other videos.

[@JamesPetit1]

GREAT video for us newbies. You speak English, slow and concisely, very thoroughly like your actually trying to teach people. Like you get a C note for everyone who gets it at the end. Some of these "teachers" I just don't understand how they want us to learn at 120 mph. Don't know how I would have learned all this alone. 134K subscribers and only 2.6K Likes ? These people too lazy to hit the like ?

[@AZWorshipSongs]

I'm new at this, and this is EXACTLY what I needed. Your presentation is exceptionally good; covering the steps in an intuitively clear manner and providing just the right amount of detail. WELL DONE!

Super job, as always. Good content, crisp pace. I watched with interest, even though I've seen this video for previous versions of the software. Thanks for all your help.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@jerrylevin4236]

Just installed the free version of the app; loving it, but loving the intro video even more. I spent a few months with FinalCutPro about 10 years ago, and the layout of the app windows and general features and functions map nicely back to that old experience. Just makes it easy to start looking at basic video creation/authoring!! And I love the cool-brother narrator!!! He makes things easy to understand, and does so without being b.o.r.i.n.g to listen to!!!!! PS - the closed captioning is excellent also!

[@mrelectron_alternator]

Hi! I have been watching your channel for a very long time and you have helped me a lot with your amazing content. Their is still one thing i wanted to ask. When my timeline contains many video clips with a total of 60 to 90 minutes and i speed them up + bring them down to 15 minutes ( transitions , fix & enhance etc incuded ) my timeline is not very smooth. Could you recommend me best cpu, gpu etc hardwares for best possible performance. I am using intel core i7 10750H with 6GB Nvidia 1660Ti and 16 GB Ram. It would help me a lot because i am comfortable with power director and i don't want to switch to other video editing softwares.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I have no idea what is best. It should be what's best for you that you can afford. I try to buy the highest quality best spec hardware that I can afford. My pc specs are here. kit.co/PDU_Tutorials/my-editing-pc

[@arkansasoutpost]

I'm thinking of either upgrading my current video editor (Pinnacle Studio) or switching to something like PowerDirector. Videos like this are more helpful to me than a typical review video, because it gives me a good idea what using the software will actually be like. Good job, and thank you.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Appreciate the kind words. If you decide to switch please consider purchasing through one of my links to support the channel. PowerDirector 365 (Windows) ➜geni.us/MaliekPowerDirector365 PowerDirector No Subscription ➜ geni.us/MaliekPowerDirectorLif

​@@PDU_Tutorials Will do. Affiliate links are a easy, painless way to support content creators, so if I plan to buy something I've seen in a video, I always look for a link.

[@arkansasoutpost]

@@PDU_Tutorials And done, professor. I'm not a fan of the subscription model, but I went with Director Suite 365. See, I'm trying to get more serious about photography and videography this year. New lenses, new camera, new jeans. I even shaved off my beard to mark this as a new kind of year for me. Part of the change is trying new tools, and since the Director Suite includes PhotoDirector, AudioDirector, and ColorDirector, it seemed like a good deal. Yeah, I'll be eating a bit more Ramen until next payday, but as Vincent van Gogh said, "If you ain't suffering, it ain't art." 😆

[@PDU_Tutorials]

@@arkansasoutpost Love it. Thanks for using my link

[@davidhunter2824]

Excellent beginners tutorial. I'm using two versions of Power director right now; power director 365 for pc and windows and power director mobile for my chromebook. Personally, I find editing videos on my Chrome book to be a lot easier than the pc version. However, Power director 365 currently is the only version that accepts my Sony ZV-1 video settings like XAVC S and AVCHD. Also, I find that power director mobile has a lot more video and audio downloads for the paid subscription than 365 (though this might have changed now). Keep up the good work! You've definitely helped me out with understanding power director and getting the best out of video editing 👍

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thanks for watching. I appreciate the kind words. If you aren’t following my app tutorials feel free to check them out KZbin.com/@powerdirectorapp

[@ThriftyToolShed]

This is very helpful. Thanks! I am going to try to switch from Davinci Resolve to Power Director soon! DR is such a resource hog and always laggy no matter what. I am going to try to make a change to see if it's better instead of buying a more powerful computer every 2 years and still being disappointed by performance.

Damn. If this dude were a professor, I'd fall asleep in his class, even though it's hands on. - There needs to be a structure here. It's all over the place with a hypothetical basis. - There needs to be an Actual project as the basis, and Learn by doing progress. If I went down a check list just following directions, I'd never actually Learn it. There needs to be a perceptible Reason I'm doing each step.

Not sure what you mean by Music option. You can add music by dragging it to the timeline from the media library. You can change the video speed on the timeline or by right clicking a clip and selecting Tools, video speed. I show how to change speed here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXjRZaWeo9utotk

Heya. Can you do a tutorial on how to edit music videos, such as take a old clip and sync it with new audio, take out clips and shuffel around with additional clips while keeping all in sync with the audio, also, how to mirror a clip so it looks like a right hand guitarist is playing left handed

[@ghostsofgreystonebeverlyhills]

Thank you for your video. I’m starting a video podcast and this video has helped me to choose PD as my editing software. One question… does the software have the KZbin overlays to add “subscribe” to the video? Thanks!

[@Gk-kr5bi]

Hi can you recommend a video editing software for music videos in which i can edit length, amplify sound etc?

[@The_day_lens]

I’m currently learning motion graphics, which includes using software like Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve. I don’t have a computer at home for editing, so I’m looking to buy one. I’m not sure which computer would be best. Should I start with a budget-friendly PC for basic video and photo editing and upgrade it later, or should I go for a high-end PC now?"

[@hatimy32]

Hi, is there an option to just have the video track and not the audio track? When i want the audio i can just track the audio and put it there. Thank you

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yes, when I show how to add/remove tracks there is an option to include or not include an audio track.

Greetings! I have power director 16. When I add the volume dots on the audio line and then pull one down at the end in order to fade, it doesn't fade. It still just cuts off abruptly?? Please advise?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Add a keyframe where you want the fade to begin. Add a keyframe at the end of the clip. Drag down the second keyframe. You can also click on the audio clip, click the keyframe button, and use the keyframe interface to make changes to the audio.

[@JohnnySantiago]

@@PDU_Tutorials by "Keyframe" you mean those dot things right? I did that and it still doesn't fade.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

@@JohnnySantiago Yes, if not working you are doing something wrong. You can share your project files on the PowerDirector forum so people can help with whatever the issue is.

[@DavBlc7]

I would love to have it later but in some video editing, the productions took very slow to record long video on to file, on DVD discs etc. It took a day to complete it. So does Power director very slow or faster than the other video editing software.
