I bought my power director 19 from a store. Where do I go to buy it online? I'm only asking because I want to upgrade to 20.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

@@boldandunderstanding9935 You can update here. bit.ly/2kMUtkI

[@boldandunderstanding9935]

@@PDU_Tutorials Thank you! As a person that owns the power director 19 disc, do I go online as a new user or an upgrade user?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

@@boldandunderstanding9935 Yes. The only way to upgrade is online. Doesn't matter if you own a disc or not.

lol I'm sleepy, and first incorrectly heard "this guy" replacement tool as you showed the dude meditating. Great tutorial, thank you!

[@gregg5557]

Thanks, Maliek. I especially appreciate knowing how to add a custom sky image to the ones built into PD. Excellent tutorial!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thank you.

[@SupraManG]

This is such a great addition to the POWERDIRECTOR programs. I have learned a few more options in this, thanks to your tutorial Maliek.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for always watching.

[@Garytyronejohnson]

Awesome as usual sir!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thank you.

[@kdaadventures8616]

I did not know this!! Thank you so much. I am going to try this today.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching. If you have not subscribed please consider it so you don't miss out on any of my tutorials and software updates.

[@williampalenik7306]

An awesome feature you covered in your tutorial Maliek

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Glad you liked it!

[@KentuckyRanger]

WOW! This is an awesome new feature!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yes. You can let your imagination run wild with this one.

[@DiveMonster]

If you add a "green screen" into the sky-folder, it works also with chroma key feature after, and you can actually add the video you like instead of a static image. pretty cool if you have some northern light footage or thunderstorms.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yep. You can also just use the chroma keyer if the cloud is one color. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3zClIV7qLukapY Always more than one way to skin a cat.

[@PhilHattonMakesStuff]

Finally got around to using this. Thanks Maliek!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

You’re welcome. How did it work out?

[@PhilHattonMakesStuff]

@@PDU_Tutorials Well I didn't realize it wouldn't work on a pre-cut since it applies to a whole clip so I'll use it on the next one. I'm creating a bunch of clips where I hold up various tools and they get struck by lightning like your Mjolnir video so I thought a dark and stormy sky would look cool. I'll replace the sky after I produce this and see if that works.

[@joechew1412]

can it be done with a gif file instead? example a night skill with a shooting star.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Never tried it with a GIF but I don't think it will work. You can try it.

[@ponkarta2012]

Well, when i click Ai sky button , it show my cpu can't support this function. The other way to replace the sky , i think i use chroma key may has the same effect.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yes, you can use chroma key as long as the sky is clear (no clouds)

[@Torparenithailand]

I dont have ai scy replacement in my plug in, i have subcribtion powerdirector 365 how do i get it?

[@Ashraf247]

Awesome it's amazing

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thanks. I like this effect too.

[@Ashraf247]

[@Frag_Limit]

I don't have the plugins tab on my PD365. Where do I get to replace the sky?

[@saptarishichatterjee7662]

wonderful can we do this with sky video instead of image

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Not that I'm aware of

[@PianoPunch]

I have 365 and the only plug in included is collage. Am i missing something here?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yes, check the CyberLink Application Manager to see if anything else needs to be installed. If not, contact CyberLink for support

[@top40researcher31]

interesting when it comes to photos real-estate agents for example they touch it up a bit making the sky more bluer the grass more greener and the tiles on the house depending what colour it is they make it if its brand new and yes its to attract the buyer

[@PDU_Tutorials]

yep, they've done that to our houses that we sold in the past

[@glenbarker7515]

Hi Malik , wondering if you can do a tutorial on the new freeze frame feature PD have released?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

For the mobile app? I don’t make mobile app tutorials on this channel. All my mobile app tutorials are on KZbin.com/pdumobile. My next tutorial on that channel will use the freeze frame feature. Make sure you subscribe to that channel and click the bell so you get notifications when I upload mobile app tutorials.

[@glenbarker7515]

@@PDU_Tutorials Sorry Maliek i realised after i posted the comment that it was on the mobile app. Hopefully they can integrate the feature into 365.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

@@glenbarker7515 It is already in PowerDirector for PC and has been for years. It is the “Snapshot” icon under the preview window in PowerDirector 20 or your 365 subscription.

[@uncletonyg]

My guy!!!

[@DrinkingStar]

I have PD 14 and I think that I can accomplish a similar effect but with much more work. I would also use Photoshop to adjust things in the background photo before placing it in PD.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yep

[@richmoney9348]

Skies the limits!

[@PDU_Tutorials]

👍🏾

[@coffey917]

Is this only in PowerDirector 20

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yes. PowerDirector 20 Ultimate which can be bought by itself or part of the PD 365 subscription.

[@thomza]

I'm an adive user Power Directive mobile. Do you think that I can gain more creative results by using PD on my PC?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Depends on what your needs are. If there are things you can't do using the mobile app then the PC version might be better for you. There is a lot you can do with the mobile app. Make sure you've seen all my tutorials for the mobile app on KZbin.com/pdumobile before you jump over to the PC version. If you switch to the PC version be sure to use my link to support the channel. bit.ly/3yJypJ6

When I go to plugins, AI Skyreplacement - it just says"Powerdirector cannot create file"

[@PDU_Tutorials]

🤷🏾‍♂️ You should contact their support

[@michaelj.c.peters557]

Another great Tutorial. When do you think Power Director will be done! Everytime I think I should upgrade they come out with a new version and I decide to wait for the next one.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Never. They will always do updates. Since day one they make a new version every year. Since PowerDirector 17 they provide updates every three months and a major update to a new version annually. If they want people to keep buying or subscribing they will have to keep updating the software. It's like that for most industries (autos, smartphones, etc.).

[@oofYTP]

I love how it get motion tracked instead of replacement normally

[@PDU_Tutorials]

🤔

[@terrys824]

Can this be done in 365?

[@TitoTimTravels]

Yes, if you recently upgraded. 😎

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yes. If you recently upgraded you have PowerDirector 20 with your 365 subscription.

[@Booooo2007]

Hello Professor :) is it possible to replace the sky, in game videos?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Any video that can be imported in PD will work

[@neilforbes416]

You and Jim Levitt(Sharper Turtle) must think alike as he also covered this effect. Actually I have a work-around that I use in PD17. A bit too involved to explain here but I'll save it for later,

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yep. I would think that we are both going to do our own tutorials for all of the new effects for PD 20/365.
