CyberLink PowerDirector 21 Ultimate | Easy-to-Use Video Editing Software With Thousands of Visual Effects | Slideshow Maker | Screen Recorder [Retail Box with Download Card]

It seems for all the desirable features you need to subscribe regardless of the fact of “buying” this.

I got this software because our store wants to start a youtube channel and it will be very necessary to be proficient at editing and using special effects. This will be the mother of all learning experiences because I am coming to it with very limited experience at this. But my desire (maybe desperation) to learn is huge, so I will. My plan is to watch every tutorial I can find that guides step-by-step and then fly with it. There are many out there, so maybe see you next year with some updates. In the meantime, I have investigated the potential of this particular software and I think it is the best Ive seen in its price range. If later on I find I need something with more bang for the buck, I will know where to spend that buck. For now, this is a good way to start.

Must have software

I was looking for software that I can use to start a blog and I think I was lucky to find this. It has all the extra content that you would need and lots of tutorial articles and videos that you can learn from. The longest video tutorial that I’ve found so far is 16 minutes long. But most the the video tutorials are just a couple of minutes long. It is broken down easily into each feature that you can use. I am enjoying getting familiar with this software. It was a great find.

Ive been looking for software that I can use to edit videos I create with my GoPro camera. This works perfectly.

I have been a user of CyberLink power director for a bit, departing form Adobe PS after they fraudulently deactivated my personal Adobe-purchased PS cs6 in order to force a paid-subscription. As for this product, if youre like me, and want to actually OWN what you purchase, be sure to get the DISK version because CL ONLY allows for a digital download for 12 months and I believe that may have now changed to 30 days! You must be sure to create an account if you do opt for the digital copy because in my experience with CL, I was able to contact customer support when I upgraded to a new system and needed to reinstall powerdirector. I opted to just purchase the latest sortware with the disk, so theres NO HASSLE of a reinstall!

I’ve been dabbling with video editing for a few years now. Prior to this, I’ve used Final Cut Pro on Mac, and a bit of iMovie on iPad Pro. Transitioning to PowerDirector was relatively easy compared to other PC video editing softwares I’ve used. Overall, the interface is nice. By default, the screen space is a bit cluttered, but everything is laid out in a way that makes sense. Some things (like how to apply chromakey) are a bit harder to find, but easy to use once found. For the most part, it can walk through the steps needed for each individual effect you want to add. Rendering isn’t the fastest, but it’s not as slow as some open source options either. The output was clear, it didn’t look like it dropped any frames at 4k, and I really can’t complain. Overall, this is a pretty good piece of software. For someone who wants to get into video editing for the first time, this is a great place to start! I can definitely recommend this!

Im what you would call a novice. Im new to all this video editing, so why did I buy this level of software. I did not want to buy a low-end program then get tired of it and buy a more advanced program and on and on. That ends up being a lot of money. This program is not meant for professionals in my opinion it is a powerful software for the consumer, so dont let the level of the program intimidate you. There is a ton of help for you on this program online and Im using it to progress up through the program. Watch a few videos and you will be able to be able to create videos and slide shows. It will take some time to master the program, but I feel it is worth it. Im no expert in this field, so I cannot get into the technical details. Ive been using this software for a little while now and Im happy with what Ive produced and know this program will allow me to get even better.

Cyberlinks PowerDirector 21 Ultimate 2 disc software comes with an installation guide and the product key to activate the installation. If you dont have a CD or DVD drive, thats OK because theres also a link for a digital download using the included product key. I have Windows 11 and several empty GB on my laptop, so installation was quick and easy. It didnt auto-load, but it was easy to follow the instructions to navigaye in Windows File Explorer to launch the install on Disk 1, then later, bonus content on Disk 2. So far all Ive done is create a simple 10 minute slideshow from a recent family vacation. The user interface is fairly intuitive, but there are also links to learn more about the software online. Within the software, theres a user manual and a help question mark to search for topics. I definitely intend to use this for video editing and more projects, but only had time to make a 10 minute long slideshow before reviewing. I like the software and would recommend it.

still dont know how to use it. im learning everyday. good program
