PowerDirector

If a user opts to have Sound enabled with the Image to Video AI feature, they will most likely end up with something taken from either the Meta or Soundstrip background music collection. The problem is that the user has no idea what the title and artist is so therefore no proper attibution can be given. If that video is subsequently posted to YouTube, a notice of a copyright violation will give given. This bug in the AI was brought to CyberLink's attention on May 22, 2025. They worked with Soundstripe and cleared the violation but made no mention of how or why it occured nor did they mention that the program code would be fixed. Two weeks later, CyberLink releases the June update and the new AI Feature of Auto Edit also repeats this same mistake. Background music is chosen apparently based on the style template that is part of that feature. Unfortunately most of the music tracks seem to be from the Meta collection. Meta does not want their music on YouTube but it doesn't matter as the original artist and copyright holder will file the violation with YouTube. Is their anybody at CyberLink that thought about this before releasing the software to the public or don't they even care about what happens to the user? On my tutorial YouTube channel for PowerDirector users, "PowerDirector Made Simple" ( https://www.youtube.com/@Baldy-1 ), I have warned users TO NOT USE ANY AI SUPPLIED MUSIC FROM CYBERLINK if they plan to post their videos on YouTube. In most cases, the users should further edit the resulting AI created video to remove any and all music tracks and substitute music that they know is copyright free or subject to a Creative Common License in which they can give proper attribution in the video notes. CyberLink.....are you listening?

I am using PowerDirector on my android tablet for about 4 years, and today this happened. I downloaded a mp3 file on Google and opened PowerDirector to put it on my project I opened Audio>Music>MyMusic>Download and I couldn't find it. I searched over and over for about half an hour but it wasn't found. I searched in other folders for anything but I didn't find the file I downloaded, I went back to Google Chrome>Downloads and I found my file downloaded and everything was good, But for some strange reason PowerDirector just doesn't see it, I relaunched PowerDirector a few times but nothing happened. ((I choose windows because there isn't Android option))

I have completely created a project that is about 20 minutes, but when I try to export it, it says my media player or graphics drivers need to be updated. All shows to be up to date. I have only had this problem since my Powerdirector updated.

Since the latest update, audio crossfades no longer smoothly transition from one clip to the other - just an abrupt change. Previously there was a bug where crossfades were not saved in the edit file. Fortunately there was an annoying 'fix' that could be done each time I opened a saved project. Now there's no audio transitions at all. Please fix this yesterday as I need to output this project by Friday.

Multicam designer stops working after laptop screen saver comes on it completely freezes and you lose everything you've been doing.

Details say it is vp09 codec with mp4 container. I've never had this happen before. do i need to use an app like handbrake? I've never had to do this before after downloading video from photos

Unable to view any kind of text in the video window. Text only visible when clicked on, but does not show when I click play before the text position in the timeline. See attached video for context.

Even at the newest release, why does this software lag so much!? This software is beyond unoptimized!

The CLDownloader.dmg file gets me CLDownloader.app and when trying to launch that, it sayd "You do not have permission to open the application “ CLDownloader.app ”." ... is there an actual .dmg of the full application PowerDirector Essentials that I can download, instead of going via this helper downloader app that isn't working?

First, I have a problem with the plugin not launching and I have to start it manually every time. Cyberlink KI Style Plugin requires PDStyleAgent.exe to run in the background. Start here: C:\Program Files (x86)\ CyberLink\ Shared files\ PDStyleAgent That was the minor problem, at least so far. Now it's the case that the plugin, after I've started it manually, shows me the desired clip (see picture 1), when I then choose a style (e.g. Van Gogh), but I see an image of a video clip that I last rendered, see picture_2). Then click on “Transform video” and a message appears (see picture_3). Conclusion: Problem 1: The plugin does not start alone and must always be started manually Problem 2: KI style plugin, always shows me the last video I made when I have selected a style and the transformation no longer works. Who has advice or can help? At first, I had a problem with the plugin not starting, and I had to start it manually every time. The Cyberlink AI Style Plugin requires PDStyleAgent.exe to be running in the background. Start it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\ CyberLink\ Shared Files\ PDStyleAgent That was, at least until now, the minor problem. Now, after I manually start the plugin, it shows me the desired clip (see Image 1). However, when I then select a style (e.g., Van Gogh), I see an image of a video clip I recently rendered (see Image 2). If I then click on “VideoTransform,” a message appears (see Image 3). Conclusion: Problem 1: The plugin doesn't start on its own and always has to be started manually. Problem 2: The AI Style Plugin always shows me the most recently created video when I select a style, and the transformation no longer works. Who has advice or can help?
