> 24 hourThe 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 its 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 didnt work in your question. No one actually reads your requests, its just an automated response. Maybe they dont work anything but M-F, 9-5. Not exactly 24-7-365 support.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourPowerful Editing and Creating Software. This software is for editing photos, videos, and a slick slideshow creator. It has numerous editing functions as well as a gallery loaded with extra content. I particularly like the full range of text fonts and how easy it is to manipulate their colors, sizes, shadows, etc. for use in either your slide program or videos. This software also provides many templates for creating a very professional look to your images. There is a learning curve and I learn a bit more every time I use this platform. In addition they provide 50GB of cloud storage in their extra’s. Its a very easy install with two CD’s. Disc 1 sets up both the Power Director and the Photo Director and Disc 2 contains all the extras. You can download the program also from the internet, just make sure you have your KEY Codes handy as you will need to enter them to solidify ownership. This is a super value compared to other editing software.

> 24 hourThis is a pretty good software for editing photos, but it took me a bit of practice. Other than that, I would say theres plenty of good features, though nothing super fancy, so I would say its best for someone who just needs the basics and doesnt want to spend a ton, but if editing the photos is a more serious endeavor then it might not be quite up to par. For me, this works just fine, since the most I do is tweak and play around with my vacation photos.

> 24 hourPowerDirector I like video editing as a personal hobby creating some vacation videos whenever I have time and Im not an expert by any means. Ive used several video editors from PC, OSX based to mobile video editing apps. Ive been using PowerDirector 365 in the last year and Im assimilated into its processes. Its 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 theres a LOT out there. If youre a beginner, start with something basic as adding videos and transitions. Learning layers is important if youre 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, Ill prefer getting either the Ultra or this Ultimate edition so that I only have to pay one time. If youre 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 Ive 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 youre not into subscription model and its a very nice combo with PowerDirector Ultra as you get 2 in 1. Installation Theres 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 theyre easier to implement. The learning curve is not that bad and theres a lot of video tutorials in youtube that helped me go through the feature set.

> 24 hourInstallation and setup was a pain but that seems to be universal. Not sure why they make it so difficult? I mostly played around with the video editing and I really enjoyed it. It was easy and intuitive and took no time at all to create exactly what I wanted. It was a perfect time saver for me in creating my lame content. I dont have to waste nearly as much time creating something that nobody will ever actually see.

> 24 hourFirst, I would like to clarify what I mean by easy. Ive used another professional video editor for years, and it is still my go-to for more professional videos. I also used their other product directed at Photo Editing. That software takes a long time to master. In comparison, PowerDirector 21 Ultra and PhotoDirector 14 are easy. But there is always some learning curve with anything new. Even I struggled a little to find what I needed. Being more experienced, I will keep using the other software, but I did like PowerDirector and my wife decided she prefers this one because she doesnt do as many video and photo editing as I do. It is very powerful and will meet the needs of most vlogers, and hobbyists.
