You can only make changes at the start of the clip.

Having to play all the way to the end of a clip in the PIP editor after making a change to something like positioning because the left hand control panel has its commands grayed out and wont come back until the clip has been played. Like the opacity handles that keep on disappearing on a timeline clip when you insert them. Then theres all the other 'features' that make PD such an efficient pleasure to use. Spending the same to try and make a mid level editor like cyberlink run without constantly faffing up is just wrong. Spending big $$ on a system to run a top level app is justified. Powerdirector on the other hand is easy to use but is an absolute dog of a program that no professional in their right mind would use even though cyberlink market it as a pro application. You can't compare one program to another, but the point is DR is a true professional application that is on a par with Adobe, and it runs fine with a minimum of fuss apart from being extremely hard to learn. I know what the apolgists are going to say. I can run Davinci Resolve perfectly in 4K on this PC yet Powerdirector struggles to preview a low blocky resolution video and loses the audio sync. Is there anyone who can help? This has been an ongoing issue for lots of PD users going back to the earlier versions and there does not seem to be any will or incentive for cyberlink to to anything about it apart from continually blaming the users and their systems. It can crash on a simple 1 track project or work fine on one with 30. It seems to be worse with some projects than others, but there is no ryhyme or reason as to why that is so. I have installed the latest patch, I have the latest video drivers.

I have an AMD ryzen PC with an nvidea Geforce 270 graphics card. It crashes 100% of the time when trying to save or save as the project it freezes at 60%. It will crash just a few seconds after trying any sort of operation in the timeline. I currently have standalone PD 18 and it just constantly crashes 1/2 way through a project ( a 3 minute music clip) It is driving me absolutey insane. However I have not been a great fan of its instability, incosistency of operation and bugs that just keep carrying over from one upgrade to the next.

Ever since PD 10 I have liked the editing and ease of use of Powerdirector.
