Stretch the Audio Portion of a Video Clip

When you alter the speed of a video clip, you may wish to stretch the

audio portion at the same proportion as the video portion.

To change the speed of a video clip, do this:

1. Select the clip you want to modify.

2. Click Speed. The speed option panel opens.

3. Click Stretch Audio. This option stretches the video clip’s audio

portion (between .5x and 2x). The pitch of the audio portion

remains unchanged to avoid unexpected audio results.

4. Click to close the option panel.

Change the Color of a Visual Media Clip

You may wish to change the color attributes of a video or image clip

or a color board in order to produce a surprising effect, or simply to

emulate reality more closely. Either result is easy to achieve in

PowerDirector.

To change the color of a visual media clip, do this:

1. Select the clip you want to modify.

2. Click Color. The color option panel opens.

3. Set the color options that you want to apply:

• Brightness: the brightness/darkness of the image

• Contrast: the difference in proportion between lights and

darks in the image

• Hue: the individual colors in the image

• Saturation: the depth of the colors in the image

• Sharpness: the clarity of details in the image

4. Click to close the option panel.
