Using Magic Tools
CyberLink PowerDirector offers a number of “magic tools” that can
assist you to edit and touch up your audio, video and image clips. The
magic tools can also help you add a creative style to your movie
production or add the right background music. CyberLink
PowerDirector offers the following Magic Tools:
• Magic Movie Wizard : Magically creates an edited movie
blended with stylish effects and transitions.
• Magic Clean : Cleans audio, video and image clips.
• Magic Motion : Adds zooms and pans to image clips.
• Magic Cut : Automatically condenses long video segments into
shorter clips that contain only the best moments.
• Magic Fix : Fixes shaking videos, removes red-eyes and enhances
the focus on photos.
• Magic Style : Creates professional movies with pre-designed
style templates automatically.
• Magic Music : Adds background music that automatically
adjusts to suit different durations.
When you open a magic tool, two buttons become available on the
control panel for viewing the clip. These buttons switch the view in the
Preview window to allow you to compare the clip before and after
modification. Descriptions of the buttons are below:
• Original: Displays the clip as it appears before the current effect
is applied.
• Output: Displays the clip with the current modification applied.
