![]() ![]() It was also dead on arrival for working with Windows 7 圆4, and I had to download an update and patch it to make it work in the 1st place. If I could go back and give this 0 stars, I would. Really PD? On what planet would anyone ever want their audio and video unsync'd when they were adding transitions? And really? There is no way around this that I can find. But after getting my video clips edited up and back in the timeline, I discover that if I put a transition between any of the newly created clips, it un-sync's the video and audio. Update: I finally figured out how to use the clunky "multi-cam designer" plugin (really, PD, you had to write a plugin to do an A/B(C/D) roll edit? That should be native functionality!), I thought I was going to get somewhere. How in the world can it not be do-able to just switch back and forth between tracks like any other normal audio/video editor software I've ever used (and I've used more than a few)? huh?", that's exactly what I'm thinking as I read the tutorials and forum help on the subject for editing multi-cam in PD. If you read all that and thought "what the. ![]() No, to make it work, I have to visualize my tracks as a stack of tracks that I am looking up at from he bottom, the highest number of which will always be the one that goes to the final output, and then cut out little chunks of each layer until I get down to the one I want, so that there are no other tracks running a the same time as the one I want to see. So imagine my joy when I found that while I could:Ī) Import multiple video and audio tracksī) See them all laid out nicely on a timelineĬ) Have PowerDirectory use the audio to synchronize all the tracks perfectly ![]() I have finally done enough reading and watching tutorials that (I think) I understand, and I am now totally "how the heck does this software get high marks for intuitive usability?" Basically you have to get really good with their cut/paste feature, because while you can indeed import multiple video tracks, you can't actually switch between them as far as I can tell from my experiments (and from my reading, they say that this is basically how it works). This has a horribly frustrating list of steps you have to do accomplish something as simple as having video from 2 camera angles and switching back and forth between them. I may someday change my mind, but right now I am horribly frustrated with this software, and had I known how it worked (or should I say, doesn't) for editing multi-camera, I would have gone with something else. ![]()
