PowerDirector 21 Ultra & PhotoDirector 14 Ultra | Easy Video Editing and Photo Editing Software | Slideshow Maker | Screen Recorder [Retail Box with Download Card]

I have been using PowerDirector 19 for a while and wanted to upgrade since I upgraded my computer. Having photodirector as part of the bundle was a huge plus. Initially, I did the software download since my new system doesnt have an external drive. The download took way too long. The site kept disconnecting and then went incredibly slow. After I installed, the key didnt fully activate the photodirector. Some of the features didnt work even after entering the key again. I ended up using an external DVD drive to install and then everything worked as it was supposed to. I mainly used this for editing video from a gopro. The software has done everything I needed. I also started trying to edit photos since the software was available but Ill need to take some tutorials to get the most out of the features.

Powerful 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.

This 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.

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

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.

I’d seen some of the YouTube people I watch talk about their editing the videos they put on there and I know they use PowerDirector. The reason, I found out, is because it’s absolutely awesome and amazing!! Extremely versatile and if you know how to use all the features I believe you could do just about anything! I’m still trying to learn everything it’s capable of, but there is so much it’s mind blowing! The box came with a disc, but also has a digital download option, and since I don’t have a disc drive (don’t think many do these days) that’s the route I went. It really didn’t take very long for as intricate of an operation as it is. Once it’s installed the fun begins!! Having two or more screens would probably be ideal for editing, but I’ve just been using my laptop and it works fine. Just make sure you have all the requirements to run it. If you don’t have very much ram like me you might experience slight occasional lag, but it’s worth it, I promise. Once you see the end result you’ll be so happy you got this program. From my research it looks like just about everyone in the professional industry actually uses this program because it’s so amazing. Maybe not for films like Avatar, but I’m sure it’s been used far more often than we realize. It’s versatility is out of this world, and I’ve been watching a gentleman on YouTube who’s tutorials are fantastic. PowerDirector University is the channel name, and this guy is extremely talented, and a wonderful resource. It may even be put on by the company but I can’t figure that out yet. Regardless, he can show you how to go from the basics all the way to high level editing. Lastly, I’d say this, I didn’t know what a time commitment this would be. But editing something the right way is a full time job for some folks, so if you’ll be a nights and weekend user like myself you might want to few up your schedule for a bit. But it’s extremely fun to watch your creation come to life, and you won’t regret it. Highly recommend!!!

i use it for streaming my xbox gaming worked good for me was easy to learn if you are tech savy so you can pick up on what button does what pretty quick not to hard to learn aslo has the photo editor so i can edit and fix all my photos now

Ive used CyberLinks software for years, and when you need these features, it is the tool to use. It has just the right blend of easy to use the first time with enough features that you actually use that work great. Highly recommended.

This is an awesome set of software for both photos and video and has been instrumental in helping me create the most powerful photos and videos for my real estate practice. While getting to learn it can be a challenge, the tutorial and other videos found online will show you the way to optimize all the features in this software. It is an excellent value for all that you are able to do. I am extremely happy with it!

I do not have a CD/DVD reader on my new computer. There is a link to the digital copy in the instructions that doesnt work. When I contacted cyberlink support after creating an account, there response was, You will need to supply a picture of the product, the disks with the product key, and proof a purchase. If you have a disk reader, maybe this is for you... If you dont, buy from someone else. Wow, what a headache.
