Content Pack Installation
Before using CyberLink PowerDirector, be
sure to install the content packs that came
with your installation. The content packs
include a number of title and style
templates, particle objects, DVD menus, and
more.
Note: you do not need to install the content
packs if you are installing the program from
a disc, only if you purchased and
downloaded it from our online store.
To install the content packs, do this:
1. Locate both of the content pack
executable files that you downloaded
to your computer. In version 10 of
CyberLink PowerDirector there should
be two of them.
2. Double-click on the first content pack
executable file to start the extraction
process. The setup program installs
the templates and effects into
CyberLink PowerDirector.
3. Once the installation is complete, click
the Finish button.
4. Repeat the last two steps again to
install the second content pack.
Using PowerDirector
Once CyberLink PowerDirector is installed,
double-click on the desktop shortcut to
launch the program.
