CyberLink PowerDirector
edit an existing one, or select a different existing profile, and other options from
one of the available drop-downs in the production options section.
Configuring Production Options
Before you begin producing your file, you can select from the following production
options:
Note: the options that are available depend on the file format you selected and the
version of CyberLink PowerDirector that is installed on your computer.
Fast video rendering technology: SVRT and Hardware video encoder are
options that can reduce production time. The Hardware video encoder
option is only enabled if your computer supports hardware acceleration
(NVIDIA graphics card that supports CUDA, an AMD graphics card that
supports AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing, or a computer with Intel Core
Processor Family technology), and you are outputting in a file format that
supports it (H.264 and MPEG-4).
Dolby Digital 5.1: select this preference if you want to include Dolby Digital
5.1 audio in your produced video file.
x.v.Color: x.v.Color is a color system that can display a wider color range than
usual. CyberLink PowerDirector can generate an x.v.Color-compliant stream,
which is backward compatible with RGB displays, while offering the
opportunity to achieve better visual quality if your playback environment is x.
v.Color ready.
Enable preview during production: select this option to preview your movie
during production. Selecting this option will increase the time required to
produce your file.
Outputting to a Device
Select the Device tab if you want to output your video production back to a DV or
an HDV* tape.
Note: you must manually locate the position on your HDV camcorder tape where
you want to write back your content to before proceeding.
You can also output your production to a file that you can then copy back to an
HDD (hard disk drive) camcorder*. Or output it in a file format that is compatible
with a number of portable devices, including for an iPod/iPhone/iPad, PS3*/PSP/
Walkman, Xbox/Zune, and a wide variety of mobile phones*.
