And thanks for suggesting the 'render preview' option, now it is previewing very smoothly. I installed the trial version of PremierePro and comparing the Warp Stabilizer vs PDR stabilizer, powerdirector did a much much better job with it's "Enhanced Stabilization" option where it takes a lot of computational power but the end result is very smooth with minimal jello effect whereas the Premiere pro result is very jello-wy.
Unfortunately, all three of them rendered / exported VERY SLOWLY once I did any kind of color adjustment or color grading (whether I used the internal enhancements of powerdirector or whether I used the ColorDirector to adjust the clips and then reload them back into powerdirector).
Once you apply a LUT, it is impossible to adjust the intensity of the LUT. I'm sure this ability will be added in the future but been waiting since PDR 15. Or am I missing something? Is this feature already in powerdirector and I'm not seeing it?
I fell so much in love with powerdirector that I started my own journey and taught myself how to create Theme Designer Templates. Now I have created a software which in conjunction with a 3D software enables me to create templates like on the fly. ?
