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

Will not load on Win 10, had to get my Win7 computer out and it runs. Not sure I am going to like this!

Easy start up but a huge learning curve. I’m a beginner so I’m having to do a lot of research which I expected. It’s been a very fun experience. My 12yr old son and I both use this software, he’s better than me though I must admit.

Long time user of PowerDirector 14 software. Editing functions about the same, but PD 21 supports 9:16 format. There are glitches in the sound of produced videos like an old record player skipping. Also skips in the video. Have made at least 15 videos and all have skips in different places. Skips are not at clip changes or music changes, just random. Same videos produced with PD 14 do not have the glitches.

Decided to put all of my old videos onto dvds and this has been great. Easy to figure out.

I go this to replace my old version from 2018. the included bonus packs seems to be the same, as it uninstalled all the same one. they did add a social media blog pack which has some nice background and effects for vlogging. I like that the included codecs now got to full 4k@30 fps. The UI is pretty much the same so if youre used to working in the power director flow, its easy to continue and be efficient. the included time-lapse and slide features are great for the videos I put together for parties. the included music is OK, but there is a wide selection available on line, and a few of the auto generated included ones work really well. CyberLinks PowerDirector is still the best video editing bang for your buck ,and work really well for the hobbyist and prosumer.

I was excited to get this Power Director 21 and start editing like a pro, but after reading system requirements on the side of the box, I learned that my PC is a little dated already and I’ll need to upgrade my Graphics card. As soon as I upgrade my system and I’m editing like a pro..I will be sure to update my review. Thanks for reading and I hope you found this helpful:)

I’ve used professional video editing software for years, including Sony Vegas Video, before switching to Adobe Premier Pro. I thought I’d try PowerDirector to see how easily I could turn separate images into a cool video slideshow. I wasnt disappointed. This feature is excellent and uses advanced templates, a palette of FX transitions, and the ability to add amazing text effects to turn your images into compelling video slideshows. PD’s work area reminds me of Premier Pro, and it has a moderate learning curve, even for those seasoned in video editing software. I spend some time learning how to put interesting captions with effects at the bottom of each image, which wasn’t intuitive for me. But once I figured it out by watching a how-to video or two, I added this skill to my video editing toolkit. The software allows me to split, delete, and reorder video slices, add professional transitions between scenes, speed up a scene or the entire video or present it in slow motion, create an audio track or add to an existing audio track, along with a long list of other features. PowerDirector offers just about everything you might need to make interesting videos for business or personal projects, including YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, etc. My PC (i9 processor with 32GBs of RAM) had no trouble keeping up with the software’s requirements, and all functions responded smoothly with no hiccups or crashes. The price point is excellent and offers a solid on-ramp for those interested in creating stylish videos. Recommended.

This is a full featured video editor that should do all that is needed for YouTubers and the like. You can clip videos, stitch videos together, speed up and slow them down, add transitions between videos, add audio tracks, intros and much more. The only thing that I wish it had is the ability to rotate videos simply. Yes, it can rotate them to whatever angle you wish, it just takes multiple steps. No big deal when you are involved with an editing project, its just that it becomes a project if that is all you want to do. If it included a right-click file explorer rotate option, that would be perfect.

I have looked everywhere for a video editing program to replace the one I lost when the computer crashed. This is the one! It is straightforward, simple to use, but very creative and capable. More like the pro ones that I have used in the past. AND it can do discs, both CD and Blu-ray.

Setup was straightforward, its a simple interface but due to my inexperience Ill have to practice with more video to get the basics. Overall it seems to be easier than the more expensive and expansive solutions available.
