Upgrade

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2023

I had earlier versions of both these products which I have used extensively over the
years, and thought it might be worthwhile to upgrade to the modern versions. I had been
very satisfied with my earlier versions (big thanks to Wordgirl) and am even moreso with the improvements
in the new versions, well worth the purchase and highly recommend!

Not good

I didn’t like the option it gives you with certain tabs. Not user friendly for us senior citizens.

Easy enough to figure out the basics. Just one small hiccup for me.

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2023

I'm pretty bad with learning new apps and programs. It feels sometimes like everyone else can just pick them up in an instant and suddenly use tons of advanced features, right out the gate.
My husband does photoshop and that felt so daunting to me. He learned it when he had hours of wait time during a deployment, but I don't have that kind of time where I'm forced to sit and wait for hours and need something to fill my time. I've always wanted to do photo editing, but most of the software is just beyond my level. And it feels like most expect me to learn so much right away just to do something so simple.
I installed this and it took forever. My computer is about 6 years old and full of junk, so that might have something to do with it. It has Windows 11 and is a 64 bit, but not a huge amount of ram. The download took no time at all. But installation? Over an hour for me.
Once installed, I hopped into Power Director, read the little pop ups, and got to work. Using the helpful snip tool, as I wanted to edit some videos that I had for a slideshow, I was able to have my clips ready to go in maybe a minute each, which includes 'publishing' and saving. I spent more time searching for clips than I did the actually editing process. All I did was snip the clips out, nothing else, then save them, and add them into my slideshow. I haven't tried any of the more advanced features, because I haven't needed them yet. For editing longer videos down, this thing is a breeze. Not only can I snip out just the parts that I want, I can edit the order of them as I work, add in gaps of time for transitions, or different styles of transition, and then I can publish it as a continuous stream. So no more adding in one video clip, then adding another, then adding another, and continuously hitting the spacebar in PowerPoint during presentations to get my series of clips to work. Just one smooth video with transitions that I upload into a single slide. It sounds so basic, but I searched high and low for a simple video editor that wouldn't break the bank, that would let me just cut out clips and join them together into one video, and couldn't find a thing that would work for me.
This worked perfectly.
My only, single complaint is that I was working with some dual audio clips. They had foreign language and English audio attached to the video. I was able to highlight the audio track and change it to English. However, it would only save in the foreign language. I didn't have time to figure it out. I don't know how to unlock the two audio tracks from each other, so I couldn't use all the clips that I made, because I needed the English tracks to make a point for my slideshow. So, today I'll be figuring all that out, hopefully, and will update with how it went.
So far, this program has been easy for me to use and that's saying a lot. I think this is probably an intro program to folks interested in this kind of thing. I think that any age could use this program. It's been really helpful for my very basic needs and actually has me interested in trying some new stuff, because it doesn't seem daunting at all using this program. Very happy with this.
I haven't used tech support. However, when I googled a question about the program, I found 2 support forums on their website that had the answers that I needed. So that's really cool! So far, so good. I'll definitely be making more videos with this!

I am a new user

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2023

I am a someone who usually is able to figure out programs if logical and intuitive. PowerDirector is. But the University on Youtube is huge and impressive in that I expect to be able to create acceptable videos in a short amount of time. Still need to make some effort and invest some learning time but they do provide the tools you need.

Great program and product support!

Install issues and product support was wonderful. I enjoy the program and would recommend this product to other users.

No instructions, No on line assistance

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2023

The product seems like it can do a lot, but finding out how to use it is another challenge as there are no instructions. When you go to the website it appears as though there are tutorials; however, when you view them you find that it's advice for a different program like the Mobile Version which is not the same. Amazon was able to find something that will help. I am very disappointed with the assistance from Cyberlink. Seems that they are only interested in assisting their subscription services.
When you do contact them concerning issues to their website, instead of dealing with your question they send the same link that didn't work in your question. No one actually reads your requests, it's just an automated response. Maybe they don't work anything but M-F, 9-5. Not exactly 24-7-365 support.

great video and photo editing combo

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2022

PowerDirector
I like video editing as a personal hobby creating some vacation videos whenever I have time and I'm not an expert by any means. I've used several video editors from PC, OSX based to mobile video editing apps. I've been using PowerDirector 365 in the last year and I'm assimilated into its processes. It's powerful and relatively easy to navigate and use its features.

I can say that Power Director is one of the best editing software currently available now. The menus are intuitive and user friendly. I really like how the menus are arranged and accessible. At first, it can be overwhelming to see the many available features of this app. The way I approached to learn is to google and search YouTube for tutorial videos and there's a LOT out there. If you're a beginner, start with something basic as adding videos and transitions. Learning layers is important if you're already getting comfortable with menu navigation. Then the more exciting part of adding texts, background music, adding a voice over and special effects will be on your action list.

So getting this Ultimate version vs 365 vs Ultra is a hard decision. It really depends on what you value as they offer very similar feature set.
The main benefit of the PowerDirector 365 is you get all the up to date premium plug ins and effects, you get 8 in Ultimate, 6 in Ultra.

For some people like me, who only occasionally edit videos, I'll prefer getting either the Ultra or this Ultimate edition so that I only have to pay one time. If you're editing videos all the time then maybe the 365 is better for you as it offers a lot more in terms of plug ins and effects.

PhotoDirector

I've been a Lightroom and Luminar photo editor user for years. I can say that PhotoDirector handles its own turf. It has impressive AI-powered image abilities like style transfer, content-aware removal, sky replacement, people masking, as well as with GIF animation. Workflow is similar to Lightroom in my personal comparison.

Licensing is a permanent one if you're not into subscription model and it's a very nice combo with PowerDirector Ultra as you get 2 in 1.

Installation
There's an option to download the installation file. Install file is not in the CD disk anyway, just the Cyberlink Application Manager app.

Now, I can say that this latest offering from Cyberlink is so far the best video editing out there offering many features and they're easier to implement. The learning curve is not that bad and there's a lot of video tutorials in youtube that helped me go through the feature set.
