Editing Your M edia
Center: in the fields provided, enter the X and Y position of the center of the
selected media clip at different moments (keyframes) in your video
production.
Note: CyberLink PowerDirector sets the value of the top-left corner of the media
as the 0 axis, with the bottom-right corner having a value of 1.0, 1.0. The center
position in the video frame is 0.500, 0.500.
Freeform position: in the eight freeform position fields provided, define the
shape of the selected media clip by setting the X and Y positions for its four
corners in the video frame. By entering different values at different moments
(keyframes) in your video production, the clip's freeform shape can change
over time in your video production. See Changing the Shape of Media for
more information on freeform media clips.
Enable 3D depth on the PiP media: if you are creating a 3D video production,
select this option to give the PiP media a 3D* effect. Once enabled, use the
slider to set the amount of depth you want the PiP media to have in 3D.
Dragging the slider left will make the 3D PiP object seem nearer to the
audience (in the foreground), while dragging it right will make it appear
farther away (in the background).
Note: when using this feature, select the button to enable 3D mode for best
editing results. See Previewing in 3D Mode for more information on using this
mode. * Optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector. Check the version table on
our web site for detailed versioning information.
Volume
For video and audio clips in your video production, use the available slider to adjust
the level of the selected clip's volume at different moments in your production.
Adding Keyframes
In the Keyframe Settings window, there is a mini timeline for the selected media
clip. The timeline matches the duration of the media clip you selected before
clicking the Keyframe button.
