I’ve used PowerDirector from as far back as 2006, and although I’ve tried other programs, I’ve settled for it. With Round-trip-editing support, the 3 applications in PowerDirector Ultimate Suite work seamlessly with each other, providing the smoothest post-production environment for enthusiasts. In fact, I use more than the PowerDirector 12 program by itself, as I am using at the moment the PowerDirector 12 Ultimate Suite, which includes 3 award-winning media creativity applications – PowerDirector 12, ColorDirector 2, and AudioDirector 4, – offering the most complete video editing, color grading and audio-for-video solution designed for creative experts. They’re from a review in PC Mag, published in November 2013, about PowerDirector 12, and I use them here because I believe they sum up my opinion and the reasons why I use Power Director 12. Considering its price, even serious video editors should look no further.” The latest version now has multicam viewing (up to four angles), 3D and 4K editing and output, direct uploading to sharing sites, and can even author a Blu-Ray disc.

It offers impressive performance, an intuitive interface, and lots of editing goodies. “PowerDirector 12 is a longtime favorite among prosumer video editors.

Furthermore, when opening it, the program offers the choice to use an easy video editor, which guides you through the process of creating your videos, along with a slideshow creator and the full featured video editor. Besides, the program offers what I consider to be extremely important: a user friendly interface that makes it easy to start working. This may not be the exact tool for some professionals, but for many of us and for enthusiasts, the options in Power Director 12 are more than enough to justify the investment. If you’re in the market for a video editor, one program you should probably look at is Cyberlink’s PowerDirector 12, launched in September 2013, winner of a CES 2014 Innovation Award, selected by PC Magazine as the Best Video Editing in 2013 and receiver of multiple world-class awards since its introduction in September 2013.
