Content Pack Installation
Before using CyberLink PowerDirector, be

includes a number of title templates, particle

from our Online Store.
To install the content pack, do this:

file that you downloaded to your
computer.
2. Double-click on the content pack
executable file to start the extraction
process. The setup program installs
the content into CyberLink
PowerDirector.

double-click on the desktop shortcut to
launch the program.

Getting Started
The type of video you are creating
determines how you navigate the program
and what features you utilize. For each user,
the method is slightly different, but the
overall process is the same: Capture -> Edit -
> Produce/Create Disc.
The following are some important things
you should know to get the best results in
each stage.
Capturing
The first step in creating your production is
to capture and import your project’s media.
You can capture media from a variety of
sources, including a DV/HDV camcorder,
webcam, digital TV signal, a microphone,
and more.
