Modes
Chapter 2:
CyberLink PowerDirector has three separate editors to suit your editing
requirements. When you launch the program from the start menu, or the CyberLink
PowerDirector shortcut on the desktop, you are prompted to choose one of the
following editing modes:
Note: before selecting your preferred editing mode, be sure to set the aspect
ratio for your project (16:9 or 4:3).
Full Feature Editor: select this option to enter the classic editing mode of
CyberLink PowerDirector, where all of the program's features are available to
you.
Easy Editor: if you are new to the editing process and not sure how or where
to get started, then the Easy Editor can help. The Magic Movie Wizard takes
you through a step-by-step process to import, style, adjust, and preview your
finished movie, in just a few steps. You can then edit the created production,
output it to a video file, or burn it to a disc.
Slideshow Creator: with the Slideshow Creator you can instantly turn your
photos into a dynamic slideshow. Follow the steps in the Slideshow Creator to
import your photos, add background music, and stylish slideshow templates.
Once done, you can preview the slideshow, before outputting it as a video file
or burning it to disc.
Note: select the Always enter the full feature editor at startup option at the
bottom of this dialog to skip this window at startup. You can always reset this
selection at any time in Confirmation Preferences.
Full Feature Editor
In the Full Feature Editor of CyberLink PowerDirector you have the freedom to
perform every function and use every feature that is available in your version of the
program. The path you take to create your video production is up to you. Use the
features you are familiar with to make your movie, or experiment to create
something new.
