Video importing, mixing, creating, editing and more.
As usual, CyberLink has done it again and provided the Audio/Video editing community with a very powerful solution to editing with their PowerDirector. Not only has the program been a roaring success, but PC Magazine rating gave it its highest rating among all of the competitors.
The software is an absolute jewel for YouTube directors and home users alike.

PowerDirector can import and handle almost every type of currently popular video format and does a great job of adding effects to your videos along with text and transitions.
CyberLink goes ahead and beyond what is required of such a program and offers users an online community called DirectorZone. With that, you can download oodles of additional effects, transitions, menus and access tutorials on producing stunning video presentations.
A review of PowerDirector wouldn't be complete without mentioning the 3D aspect of video editing which CyberLink has integrated into this wonderful program. With the growth in 3D movies, players and television sets, 3D video has been making its mark. With the introduction of 3D video on mobile phones, the trend is growing even faster and that's where the competition of PowerDirector fall behind. It fully supports conversion between 2D and 3D formats and provides users with great 3D effects.
Without futher mention of the cool video effects you can create, PowerDirector also provides some very professional audio effects including the Audio Beat Marker which can find points in the audio track where beats occur, perfect for synchornizing audio and video effects.
CyberLink PowerDirector is overall a very powerful and familiar program. It features simple icons and straight-forward interfaces to complete many useful tasks on video. It is fast and provides anybody with the proper tools to become a successful YouTube director.
