There are some pretty simple and direct ways to troubleshoot that problem, and if you'd like to proceed, please create a new thread in the PD16 forum and follow the steps shown in the Read Me Before Posting sticky thread so we can see how your computer is configured.Cyberlink PowerDirector is a bundle of tools for video editing, providing its users with a powerful rendering engine to provide top-notch performance and enable advanced editing features. It could be that PD16 isn't installed correctly, that your user account doesn't have the appropriate permissions, or that something is wrong with Windows itself. If you've never been able to apply a patch to PD16, then something is clearly wrong somewhere on your computer. If you right click on a clip in PD's Media Library and choose View Properties, you can find those details. Use the H.264 M2TS or MP4 profiles that match your source clips for the best results, like 1920x1080 60p.

It will install to about 78 percent and then a little box will pop up with a bunch of symbols that mean nothing to me. Well, I have NEVER been able to successfully install a patch. But I read online somewhere that it was because Youtube has changed and that the patches for PowerDirector 16 would fix it. It was produced as the same format that I always used. But my project yesterday would not work and Youtube told me that it was in the wrong format.
