Chapter 3:
Pre-Production
This chapter details the steps required for pre-production, including the import of
media into the Media Room’s library, the capture of media within CyberLink
PowerDirector and setting your CyberLink PowerDirector preferences.
Importing Media
If you already have video files, music and images that you want to use in your
production (for example on your computer’s hard drive, a removable device, etc.),
you can import the files directly into CyberLink PowerDirector’s library in the
Media Room.
CyberLink PowerDirector supports the following file formats:
Image: JPEG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, PNG
Video: DV-AVI, Windows-AVI, DAT, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, DVR-MS, VOB, VRO, WMV,
MOV, MOD, TOD, MPEG-4, MTS, M2TS, JTS, TS, M2T, 3GP, 3GPP2
Additional formats available on Windows 7: Divx, Xvid
Audio: MP3, WAV, WMA, M4A
Note: the supported file formats depend on the version of CyberLink PowerDirector
you have installed on your computer. Check the readme file for detailed versioning
information.
Click to import media into the media room’s library, using one of two
options:
•import media files individually.
•import an entire folder that contains media files you want to use in your
current project.
Note: you can also drag and drop media onto the CyberLink PowerDirector window to
import it into the program.
CyberLink PowerDirector
22
If you feel that you do not have enough media for your project, or you are looking
for specific media to make your creation just perfect, you can:
•click to download media from the Internet directly into the media library.
•click to download PiP effects, particle effects, title templates, or disc menus
from DirectorZone.
You can download your own photos directly from your account on Flickr into
CyberLink PowerDirector. You can also search for and browse other users’ photos
from within CyberLink PowerDirector, and then import them into your Media
Library for use in a project.
To download photos from Flickr, do this:
1. Click on and then select Import from Flickr.
2. Follow the steps within the wizard window to authorize CyberLink
PowerDirector to use your Flickr account and accept the Terms of Use from
Flickr.
Note: having a Flickr account is not required to search for, browse and download
photos from Flickr.
3. Select from the drop down whether to search for photos from:
•My Photos on Flickr: this option displays thumbnails of all the photos you
have uploaded to your Flickr account.
•My Contacts' Photos: this option displays thumbnails of all the photos your
Flick contacts have uploaded to Flickr.

on Flickr.
Note: use the drop down filter menu at the top of the search window to sort the
photos.
Chapter 3: Pre-Production
25
DV camcorders are popular among video hobbyists, as they record in a
digital format that does not require conversion before being used on a
computer. You can capture a single scene or a number of scenes in a batch
from your camcorder.
Note: if your DV camcorder connects to your computer via USB, you must import video
files directly as if your camcorder is a regular hard drive. See "Importing Media" on page
21 for information on importing video files.
You can capture a single segment of video from your camcorder. This function is
particularly useful, for example, if you want to acquire a long video segment in its
entirety without skipping over sections.
The DV Backup* feature lets you back-up the digital video from your DV
camcorder directly to DVD using CyberLink PowerDirector. Click the button
to begin backing up your video.
Note: this feature requires a DVD burner. * Optional feature in CyberLink
PowerDirector. Check the readme file for detailed versioning information.
Batch capturing may seem intimidating, but in reality it is an incredibly convenient
method of capturing multiple video clips automatically. If you take a few minutes
to familiarize yourself with batch capturing, you will save yourself time when you
capture video from your camcorder. CyberLink PowerDirector scans your DV for
intervals (or allows you to set them manually), then captures them in a batch using
the intervals you created.
CyberLink PowerDirector
26
Automatic batch capture is a quick way to capture scenes from a video tape. Click
the button to access the automatic batch capture feature.
Using manual batch capture* gives you more control over the capturing process
and ensures that the scenes you want to include are captured. Manual batch
capture is recommended when you are sure which scenes you want to capture
and have a good idea where they are located on the tape. Click the button
to access the manual batch capture feature.
Note: * optional feature in CyberLink PowerDirector. Check the readme file for detailed
versioning information.
HDV camcorders record in a high definition digital format that does not
require conversion before being used on a computer. You can capture
scenes from your HDV camcorder directly into CyberLink PowerDirector.
Note: if your HDV camcorder connects to your computer via USB, you must import
video files directly as if your camcorder is a regular hard drive. See "Importing Media"
on page 21 for information on importing video files.
You may wish to add segments from your favorite TV programs to your
video production, or simply record other segments for different uses.
You may wish to add segments from your favorite Digital TV programs to

Webcams are inexpensive, handy video cameras that you can use for
simple video capturing.
Your video may require recorded dialog. No matter what kind of audio
tracks you record, you can capture them with a microphone for use in your
CyberLink PowerDirector project.
Using your favorite music can help you to create a really fun, personalized
video. If you have music stored on an audio CD, you can record songs you
want and then add them as audio tracks in your CyberLink PowerDirector
project.
You can capture video scenes (including the audio portion) from a DVD
for use in your CyberLink PowerDirector project.
Note: some DVDs are protected by technology that does not allow you to capture the
content they contain.
AVCHD camcorders record in a high definition digital format that does
not require conversion before being used on a computer. You can
capture scenes from your AVCHD camcorder directly into CyberLink
PowerDirector.

Note: if your AVCHD camcorder connects to your computer via USB, you must import
video files directly as if your camcorder is a regular hard drive. See "Importing Media"
on page 21 for information on importing video files.
All of the media you capture in the capture window is displayed in the Captured
Content area. When you return to the Edit window, all of the media in the
Captured Content area is automatically imported into your Media Room’s library.
Within in the Captured Content area you can right click on media to perform a
number of options, including detecting scenes in video clips and deleting
unwanted content so that it won’t import into Edit window.
Select the Change Folder button to specify the folder you want all of the captured
media to be stored.
When capturing media you can select its file format and quality profile by clicking
the Profile button. CyberLink PowerDirector’s capture functions vary, depending on the
version installed. For information on the availability of specific features in the version that
you are using, please check the Readme file.
Use the Settings button to configure the set up of your selected capture device.
The capture settings that are available depend on the capture device connected
and the capture mode you have selected.
Note: when capturing from a DVD, this button reads Drive, allowing you to select the
specific disc drive you want to capture from, if required.
Before capture you can set preferences for your captured content. The capture
preferences that are available, depend on the content you are capturing.

To assist with your editing process, CyberLink PowerDirector can detect scenes in
your video clips or extract the audio from them. These new clips are displayed,
separately from the original clips, in the media library.
The scene detection function automatically creates individual clips based on the
individual scenes (or pre-edited shots) contained within a video clip. Detected

scenes are not split from the original clip, but are added to the workspace like any
other media clip.
To detect the scenes in a vi either the Captured Content deo clip, right click on it in
area or within the media library and select Detect Scenes and then on Detect.
Note: depending on the file format, scene detection on certain clips may not work as
precisely as it does for others. You may need to split the scenes manually in the scene
detection dialog.
The detected clips are displayed in a sub folder under the original video clip. You
can add them to timeline or manage them in the media library like any other video
clip.
Video clips that contain detected scenes show a small folder icon in the lower
right-hand corner of the clip when displayed in the media library. To display a clip’s
scenes, click the folder icon.
If you want to include just the audio from a video clip, you can extract it from the
video clip in the media library by right clicking it and selecting Extract Audio. The
audio clip is separated from the video and can be used in your project like any
other audio file.
Note: when a video clip is already on the timeline, you can separate the audio from the
video file by right-clicking on it selecting Split Audio. For more information, see
"Splitting Audio from a Video Clip" on page 71.
Before you get started working on your production you may want to set your
preferences to your liking. You may also edit them at any time during the
