Add a 'Copy Settings' and a 'Paste Settings' button at the bottom of the Crop/Rotate window. This will be helpful when multiple video clips are generated of a speaker for use in a P-i-P type of production placed over (along side) the PowerPoint slide. The editor can then quickly resized each clip of the speaker to the same size. This copy/paste feature is available for 'keyframes' position/scale which is great, but it is needed in the 'Crop/Rotate' feature as well. Thanks.

We want previous version. Especially when we need to add new subtitle marker. In previous version of PD we just click to add new one. New version? We can't! Every time we need to add new one we have to adjust the subtitle marker and click to add new one. Or split the subtitle marker and then adjust the subtitle marker. Every time!!! Plz bring back previous version to subtitle function. At least how to add new subtitle marker.

In Auto Edit, you should be able to select multiple sections in one video clip (now you have to import two copies of one video clip). Also, you should be able to choose from available songs before Auto Edit, to see the approximate length. In mode when you can crop clips or select range, you should also be able to delete one clip if you realize it is not needed. Add slow-motion of one clip within the compilation.

It would be great to be able to jump in timeline without interrupting the playback. If I try to locate a certain point in an audio by moving one second at a time for example using a shortcut, the audio pauses every single time I make a jump. That means I have to click resume every single time as well which is tedious.

I can only find this feature for polygon, but I find that rather fiddly since I can't zoom in to make sure I am outlining the right points. I'd rather use the brush or the autoselect tool if possible as a feature. The ability to zoom in so I can see more clearly where I am placing these polygons or using other mask features would be nice too to ensure a clean, smooth masking process.

As simple as it is, I miss the fade-to-black transition. Whenever I want the effect, I have to put a black background with a fade-in-out transition. Having a transition already in effect would be very useful.

I find the new Layout windows more uncomfortable and annoying, especially the dual screen window. I have a double screen and I have always found it very convenient to use the program seeing the preview on the second screen, but now the only setting of that type forces you to keep a second preview window on the main screen, or (even worse) to move the timeline vertically, which I find very uncomfortable. I don't think it costs anything to put back the previous layouts, so I give this advice

I can't find some of my favorite video effects since the new update. I've been using the lens/light flares and some of the different film overlays for years. Are they moved to somewhere else? I miss them

You really should allow for mass changes to clips that have been grouped. For instance, I grouped clips together and want to now mirror everything to create a dance tutorial. The way it is currently configured, I have to mirror every single clip. That is not efficient.

Subject: Single Photo Displaying as a Compressed Filmstrip on Timeline in PowerDirector 365 Hello, I am experiencing an issue where a single, still image file is displaying incorrectly on the timeline in PowerDirector 365. Instead of showing the full photo thumbnail, it appears as a very narrow, compressed strip (similar to a filmstrip or contact sheet thumbnail for video clips). This makes it impossible to see the photo content on the timeline. I have already taken the following troubleshooting steps without success: I checked the timeline and track height. I have expanded the timeline track height and zoomed in on the timeline, but the photo thumbnail remains a compressed strip. I re-imported the photo. I deleted the image from the timeline and re-imported it from my media library, but the issue persists. I checked the Preferences menu. I looked in the Editing tab for a "Timeline Preview Output Color" setting but could not find it. I went to the Performance tab and unchecked "Enable hardware decoding." I restarted the software, but the thumbnail did not change. Product & System Information: Software: PowerDirector 365 Operating System:windows 11 I have attached screenshots to help illustrate the problem: A screenshot of the timeline showing the compressed "strip" thumbnail. A screenshot of my Preferences window, including the Performance tab, to show my current settings. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
