Sep 08, 2017 14:00 I finally gave in and purchased PowerDirector 15 since they were offering the whole shebang including ColorDirector for so cheap.
I understood that Smartsound Quicktracks (Magic Music) was no longer included but wasn't worried because I knew that my stuff from PD13 would 'or should' come forward.
The strange thing is that what got pulled into PD15 is my Quicktracks from a previous version of Roxio Video Wave that I had on my computer.
The Core Foundations are the same between Roxio and PD13 such as 'Clear Vision' and 'Pavane' however the 'Variations' between PD and Roxio are differant in some cases. Roxio actually has a greater number of 'Variations' which were brought into PD15 but several of the 'Variations' from PD13 were not brought forward.
Has anyone else run across this?
Are the variations defined in a seperate database.
I will also ask this this on the Smartsound support but was just wondering if anyone else has come across this 'peculiarity'

Did you attempt to update the Quick Tracks library? Select Magic Music and click on it to update. I have both the programs and just checked; there was a library update. You may have more to download and install. .

Wow - Fast Response
Yes, I installed the update. It appeared to be an additional album I could purchase.

I also rebuilt the SmartSound Database in all three programs, Roxio, PD13 and PD15.
They all reference the same folder for the SDS files and I suspect they all rebuild the same database.
I have a feeling the variations are defined somewhere else and are limited to what SmartSound provided to each company they partnered with.
I have sent a support request to the support at SmartSound. Hopefully they can answer.
Not really an issue since I actually ended up with more variations in PD15 now but I would also like to have everything I can brought forward from PD13.

Hi Bill -
In PDR (at least), the number of variations available for a particular SmartSound track is dependant on the duration you've set. Here's an example
I don't use the Roxio app you mentioned, but I suspect that the same would apply. Try setting the same duration in both apps & see if you get the same number of variations.

Fantastic - That worked!
I had never changed the duration in the 'Enter Duration' box. I had always just grabbed a variation and drug it down to my music track. I then stretched it to the length I needed.
I checked all three programs I have - Roxio, PD13 and PD 15 and when I set the duration length at anything higher than about 1 minute they all show the 'additional' variations.
I 'learned' something new.
