If it's there, the premium pack has been installed properly.
In the PiP Objects library, under All Content, check for a template called "Art" (animation). Adventure, Anniversary, Love, Action etc. If the premium pack is installed correctly, a series of express project templates will open. In the Media Library click Plug-ins then select Express Projects. The Premium folder contains only new templates for PDR14Īnother couple of checks in PDR14's GUI. Here, what appears in Control Panel > Programs & Features is totally dependent on how PD was installed.It may be hard to spot the difference between PDR14 & previous installations - but there are some giveaway type clues.įirst up, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\templates\ and you should see sub-folders for PowerDirector Content Pack Essential and PowerDirector Content Pack Premium 1 Two ways to check which Content Packs have been installed correctly:ġ.Ĭontent packs installed as part of Director Suite are not listed in Programs & Features, yet if installed as part of PowerDirector Ultimate Suite (which is the same thing without PhotoDirector), Content Pack Premium is listed. Go to C:Program Files (x86)CyberLinktemplatesPowerDirector Content Pack 12 - the two content pack folders should be thereĢ.
Count the numbers of templates installed in the libraries (not including custom & downloaded) - even that's not very accurate. I know the content packs were installed to my PC because I can see it in the control pannel of windows and I can see the files in my C:/cerberlink/ folder. The problem is, the PD12 does not load these content packs. When I launch PD12, I do not see the number of templates increase before vs. How to load content packs within PD12? Why PD12 shows empty in the upgrade-> installed pack tab? Mine is PD12 Ultimate, not those suite versions.
I wouldn't take ANY notice of what shows up in About > Installed Packs. It just isn't accurate! I have 'extra' packs installed and nothing is listed. To be frank, I've never understood the reasoning behind the convoluted file paths for templates in PD. What matters is whether you have all the templates.ġ.
