CyberLink Launches ActionDirector For A Quicker and Easier Way to Create Stunning Action Videos

New software is the essential accessory to action camera enthusiasts
providing tools to create impressive highlight reels from their video footage

Taipei, TaiwanMay 11, 2016 CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), today launched ActionDirector,an innovative video editing software specifically aimed at the needs of a booming action camera market. The brand new movie making software is designed to take the hassle and complexity out of editing action footage through an innovative approach that streamlines the video creation process.

There is a large and swiftly growing segment of action camera owners capturing vast amounts of video footage that then remains unedited and unshared due to complicated existing software. ActionDirector provides a solution to easily and quickly turn raw footage into action-packed highlight reels, which can then be shared directly to social media channels.


“While millions of us have adopted action cameras to record our most exciting action adventures, we recognize not everyone has the time or the skill to turn those recordings into clean, professional-quality edited videos we'd be excited to share,” said Dr. Jau Huang, Chairman and CEO of CyberLink. “ActionDirector is a specialized product that addresses this problem and puts the power of action movie making into the hands of everyone, even the very beginners.”
