This tutorial is for beginners, but anyone will find all four of these methods to be very useful - each approach is best used in different situations. Learn these four methods for clipping or cutting files and you will speed up your video editing time dramatically.
Thanks for your presentation! I also use Cyberlink Power Director for my drone (Air2S) and my camera (Nikon Z6ii). This is an unrelated question that I am hoping you can answer. I like to add luts and other color corrections which I can do with PD to some extent. What is your opinion on Cyberlink Color Director? Do you think it would be an added benefit to my Videography?
Hi Peter - you use PowerDirector for the same purpose I started using that program several years ago - for editing drone videos. It's a great program for working with drone video. Regarding LUTS, here's an article that goes into great detail about working with LUTS in PowerDirector: www.cyberlink.com/learning/powerdirector-video-editing-software/3133/what-are-luts-and-how-to-get-the-best-luts-for-youtube-free-#:~:text=To%20apply%20a%20LUT%20in%20PowerDirector%2C%20do%20this%3A,timeline%20and%20then%20click%20Fix%20%2F%20Enhance%20. As far as Color Director - if you like to work with color correcting and color grading, Color Director is an excellent add-on to PowerDirector. PD has basic color adjustments (brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.) but it doesn't have any of the scopes or more advanced tools that expensive programs like Sony Vegas provide. Color Director brings those features into play and Color Director works in PD, which makes it more convenient to use. I had Color Director a long time ago (PD version 14 timeframe). I just upgraded one of my PD 365 subscriptions to Director Suite, so I now have Color Director once again. I plan to do a review and walkthrough on that program, but it won't be for awhile. I have the lucky problem of having a whole queue of video topics that I want to publish, and a Color Director video is in that queue.
@@JeffSibelius Thanks Jeff for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it very much. I have had my finger on the trigger for Color Director a few times, this helps me decide!
@@peterjb49 You bet. I went a long time without it because I really don't get that much into color correcting, let alone color grading. I finally decided to upgrade to Director Studio for CD and Photo Director just this year and I'm looking forward to diving in on both those programs.
