Edit Window Overview
Before you get started with the editing process, it is important that you
become familiar with the Edit window. The section provides you with
an overview of some of its key features and functions.
Working with Project Files
Each time you start working on a new movie production or photo
slideshow, you create a new project that is saved as a .pds file that is
used exclusively by CyberLink PowerDirector. This section describes
working with CyberLink PowerDirector project files. These are the basic
commands for managing new and existing projects.
Create a New Project
To create a new project file, click File > New Project. If an unsaved
project file is open in the workspace, you are prompted to save it.
Save a Project
To save the current project file, click File > Save Project. (To save the
current project file under a different file name, click File > Save Project
As....) In the dialog box that opens, enter a file name and location, then
click Save.
Auto Save Project
You can configure CyberLink PowerDirector to automatically save your
project every few minutes in Preferences. Auto save ensures that you
don’t lose your changes if there was a power outage or your computer
crashed and you forgot to save your creation. See "Editing Preferences"
on page 58 to enable and configure this feature.
