I’ve asked CyberLink to change this (I’m one of their MVPs) but don’t think this will happen any earlier than the next full version. Nor does PDR save this setting with the project file. NOTE that this setting does not change when you change to a new project, so you need to reset this for every project. For the export folder, click on Browse and navigate to the same folder so that your rendered (produced) video goes to the same project file. For the import folder, click on Browse and navigate to the folder with all your video clips for your project. You should do this prior to every project you undertake, even before you open the first video clip. Regarding the durations, I personally prefer image files to last 5.0 seconds, titles to last 5.0 seconds, transitions to last 0.7 seconds (I like fairly snappy transitions), and the rest at default. Select “Enable snaps to clips in timeline” (default) because it makes it very easy to line up clips perfectly.

I unclick “Switch to movie mode automatically during playback” because most of the time I want it to be in clip mode, meaning working with an individual clip, rather than the whole movie. You can even edit the still image to include arrows and text, or edit it with your favorite image editor. For example, if you want to freeze the motion on a golf swing, you can do that. Freeze frame allows you to select a frame in a video clip, turn it into a still image, and insert it right back into the middle of the clip. I personally like to uncheck “Add an effect and a title when using Freeze Frame” because it’s easier to add my own.
And you want the default workspace to be Timeline. You probably want to set the default transition behavior to Overlap. Whether you sign up to be a member of Director Zone (CyberLink’s web page for people to share effects and videos) is up to you. You should save deleting unwanted clips from the hard drive as a task to be done outside of PDR. Otherwise, when you delete a clip from the PDR library, it could be deleted from the hard drive and you will lose it forever. You can check everything except be sure that “Enable file deletion from hard drive” is unchecked. These are the items you can change on the Preferences page.Let’s go through them one by one.
