While it continues to exceed the needs and expectations of casual users, this new release introduces a number of professional-level features that will satisfy the most advanced video creators.


"Professional video editors require complete creative control and flexibility when working on projects, whether they be personal or for clients," said Dr. Jau Huang, CEO of CyberLink. "To help them achieve this standard, we've made significant improvements across the board to PowerDirector's design tools, editing and rendering engines and add-ons, all of which combine to deliver the perfect video editing solution for the modern creative professional.

It is the ideal solution for advanced video creators who want to always have access to the latest and most advanced tools. It builds on the high-performing, feature-rich and easy-to-use core features included in all versions of PowerDirector.
