CyberLink PowerDirector

Video editors these days fill an abundant space in terms of variety, versatility, and flexibility. Ranging from online video editors, offering more basic tasks, and all the way to full-blown professional suites such as those from Adobe, there’s a wide range of available options out there.

Considering the aforementioned, CyberLink PowerDirector aims to offer a more generalist solution for video editing, which can cater to a wide category of users, ranging from complete novices, and up to more demanding, advanced users.

I really enjoyed the way in which the app allows you to determine and also select the way to start editing your video content. There are three main modes, one relying on a classic, timeline-based engine, one offering a storyboard approach, and the last one tackles slideshows. All-in-all, a pretty good selection.

Since it presents the choices so easily, CyberLink PowerDirector facilitates the entire editing process, and when it comes to the actual editing process, you will have access to a wide palette of tools that address some of the most commonly requested video editing features.

The timeline-based editor allows you to easily track the changes and edits performed on the loaded video data and keep track of the added objects, audio tracks, as well as individual objects that might have been added.

The playback capabilities of the app are excellent and the selection of effects and editing tools seems to cover a quite wide range of scenarios, which in combination with the highly accessible handling, offers a high degree of flexibility to the end user.

With its quite universal take on video editing, this software can provide reliable performance for editing your favorite clips, be it that you’re a professional videographer, or just the avid user seeking improved and enhanced video editing capabilities.
