Importing Media into
PowerDirector
Chapter 5:
You can import media in a wide variety of formats into CyberLink PowerDirector, in
many different ways. Whether you need to capture media from external sources,
import media that is already on your computer's hard drive, or download it from
the Internet.
CyberLink PowerDirector makes it easy to get all your media into the program
quickly, so you can start working on your video production.
Note: media you import is saved in the current CyberLink PowerDirector project
you are working on. If you create a new project, you will be asked if you want to
merge the media in your library into the new project. You can also select File >
New Workspace to create a new project, while maintaining the current media in
the library.
Importing Media Files
If you already have video, audio, and image files that you want to use in your
production on your computer's hard drive, you can import the files directly into
CyberLink PowerDirector's media library in the Media Room. You can also import
media files that are on a removable device.
Note: if you import media files that are on a removable device into the media
library, they will be removed if the removable device is disconnected. For best
results, it is recommended that you copy the media to your computer's hard drive
before importing.
CyberLink PowerDirector supports the following file formats:
Image: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF
3D Image Format: JPS*, MPO*

image formats, which are then converted to JPEG once imported: ARW (SONY), CR2
(Canon), DNG (Ricoh), ERF (Epson), KDC (Kodak), MRW (Konica Minolta), NEF (Nikon),
