Outputting to a Standard 2D File
You can output your video production as a standard 2D video file, which you can
watch on a computer, burn to disc, or output to a portable device. You can also
output just the audio into a audio file format for playback.
Note: if you're not sure which video file format you should output your production
in, click the Intelligent SVRT button for assistance. See Utilizing Intelligent
SVRT for more information on using this feature.
You can output your project to one of the following formats:
AVI
MPEG-2*
H.264 AVC*
Windows Media Video (WMV)
MPEG-4*
QuickTime (MOV)*
Matroska (MKV)*
Audio file (WMA, WAV, M4A)
Note: * optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector. Check the version table on
our web site for detailed versioning information.
To output your video production in standard 2D, do this:
Note: if there is any 3D media in your video production, you must ensure the file's
3D source format is set prior to production to ensure the media displays properly
in 2D. CyberLink PowerDirector will incorporate the specified eye frames into
your 2D video. See Setting 3D Source Format for more information.
1. Select a video file format by clicking it (or the audio file option if you just
want to output your production's audio).
2. Select the Profile name/Quality you want to use to create the file. This
selection determines the video resolution, file size, and overall quality of the
outputted file. See Customizing Profiles for more information.
Note: in some versions of CyberLink PowerDirector, the H.264 AVC/WMV/MPEG-
4 video file formats now support up to 4K* resolution (Ultra HD). Before
production, be sure to select the desired video resolution in the Profile name/
Quality drop-down. * optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector. Check the
version table on our web site for detailed versioning information.
