What do you like best about PowerDirector?

My favorite things about PowerDirector is how affordable it is and how often then update the software. Its really nice that the company is constantly providing new templates and graphics for the videos every month. We do a LOT of video editing so its really nice to have some variety. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDirector?

Powerdirector can be a bit buggy at times and has crashed on occasion, which can be extremely upsetting. I've also found that some customizable aspects are only available for tradition video shapes, so the mobile editing can be very limiting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerDirector:

Take your time really experimenting with this software and be sure to take advantage of the add ons provided on the Cyberlink website. I do find this editing software is a bit easier to manage over Adobe Premiere, however video editing can be very daunting so take your time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerDirector solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to edit videos quickly is important to maximize efficiency within my business so its really great to just throw a video together on the fly and get it uploaded to YouTube in under an hour. This software is also much easier for my computer to manage. I used to use Adobe Premiere and I always experienced severe lagging. I realize I could use a more powerful computer, but that would cost more money so PowerDirector for the win! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PowerDirector?

Updates are phenomenal. I'm using the PowerDirector mobile, and it's amazing how granular and vast the effects options are for the price. I pay $4.99 a month and have access to three enormous stock libraries of images, movies, and music, plus I'm using a fantastic chroma key, gaussian blur, and tons of really pretty effects like fire and magic that just make it so much easier to create fantastic worlds. I've played with some other mobile options, and this is by far the best, for me, especially for the price. You can even edit on mobile in 4k. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDirector?

Support for mobile sucks. It sucks sucks sucks. I cannot re-emphasize enough how many extra hoops they make you jump through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerDirector solving and how is that benefiting you?

Needed chroma key and beautiful, creative effects and backgrounds. You can check out the scifi section of my YouTube channel (RealDoctorRogueASMR) and see how pretty I'm able to make things with this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool does not have much to be disliked but frequent addition of the new and trending effect and filters would help in keeping the content up to date and dynamic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps me in creating and processing my videos and photographs and making them more presentable.

What do you like best about PowerDirector?

Power Director is one of the strongest video editing apps available on the play store. It has options for adding multiple audio and video on the same project. It also has the option to control the speed of video by the user. One of the best features which I like is that it can render videos to a quality of 4k which helps users to get excellent results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDirector?

The app is great but one thing I noticed is that PowerDirector takes a lot of time for video rendering and processing. If you want to add your personal watermark to the video then you can't do it because it does have an option only even though If you have the premium of the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerDirector solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use power director regularly as a product manager I need to run multiple online ads and campaigns. The app helps me merge different product videos along with attractive audio and then I post them on our social media account. A very useful and premium app for video editing enthusiasts.

What do you like best about PowerDirector?

It's OK. Nothing similar software doesn't have that I can see. It's completely adequate. A little confusing to use. Could use better text transitions. Does a bunch of things I do not use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDirector?

They incessantly goad you to update - and when I tried to get what was promoted as a "free" update, it put watermarks on my video until I paid. The long and the short of it is that this software, while otherwise adequate, it is tantamount to ransomware. Keep looking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerDirector solving and how is that benefiting you?

Basic video editing. I use it for video editing. which I do a fair amount of in my agency. Sometimes I use it for video conversion, but it's not great for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is you can change and play with the settings of the preloaded effects and animations with ease.

It's a lot easier to create simple motion graphics and typography compared to its competitors.

The learning curve is simpler than most other software that has so many features.

Color grading premium luts come along with the software.

There is a whole PowerDirector community and stock library for it's users to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PowerDirector?

What I like most is that it is a very intuitive and easy-to-use software. You don't have to be an expert in video editing to use it, as all the tools are visible and if not, they are very easy to locate. It has many transitions and effects that allow us to bring videos to life, we can divide the video into chapters if we wish, record voiceovers, add music, edit it, etc. When exporting our edited video, it gives us many options. I really like everything about this software and I am very satisfied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerDirector?

I haven't had any problems, and there's nothing I dislike about this software. On the contrary, I'm more and more pleased each time I use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerDirector solving and how is that benefiting you?

A few months ago, I decided to start recording videos and creating content for social media to showcase my work and teach textile art. I went through several video editors, but PowerDirector is the software I liked the most because it is very intuitive and extremely easy to use. In just a few hours, I already knew how to edit videos without being an expert, and I loved that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
