Auto Save Project: select this to have CyberLink PowerDirector auto save your project. You can enter a
specific time in the field provided. This ensures you don't lose your changes if there was a power outage or
your computer crashed and you forgot to save your creation.
Confirmation Preferences
To set your confirmation preferences, click
> Edit > Preferences
The preferences dialog box opens. Click the Confirmation tab. Available options are as follows:
Always prompt me when TV format conflicts: select this option to enable a warning message when you add
a video clip to the workspace whose TV format (NTSC/PAL) conflicts with that of the video clips already
located in the workspace.
Enable file deletion from hard drive: select this option if you would like to enable the deletion of files from
your hard drive from within the Media Library.
Enable warning when chapters are removed during editing: select this option to enable the display of a
warning message if chapter points have been deleted during video editing.
Always prompt me when wide screen is not supported: select this option if you would like CyberLink
PowerDirector to prompt you when the widescreen format is not supported.
Capture Preferences
To set your capture preferences, click
> Edit > Preferences
The Preferences dialog box opens. Click the Capture tab. Available options are as follows:
Add captured files to Library: select this option to import captured files into the Media Library directly after
capture.
Add captured files to workspace: select this option to import captured files into the workspace/timeline
directly after capture.
Use video overlay for capture: keep this option selected during capture unless you have an older VGA card
that does not support video overlay. (Deselecting this option in this event avoids the unsupported overlay
display error.)
Enable automatic file replacement when recording voiceover: select this option to overwrite existing audio
if the voiceover overlaps during recording.
Enable CyberLink MPEG@Best: select to balance capture speed and video quality when you capture MPEG
video.
Do not detect scenes during capture: select this option if you do not want to activate the auto scene
detection function during capture.
After capture, detect scenes by changing of video frames: select this option to perform scene detection
during video capture. In scene detection, CyberLink PowerDirector compares captured frames to decide when
there is a scene change. Each scene is saved as a file as recording continues.
During capture, detect scenes by time code, and save each scene as a separate file (DV-VCR mode only):

Quality of 3D slideshow: use the slider to determine the quality of a produced 3D slideshow video. The
slower the images move, the better the quality of the slideshow. CyberLink PowerDirector will use your
