in today's video I'm gonna be providing my review of the PowerDirector 18 from
CyberLink so stay tuned today I'm going to be providing my review of the
PowerDirector 18 which is a video editing software from CyberLink not
before continue on if you new here make sure you hit subscribe and turn on
notification so that you'll always be the first to see any of my new videos
alright now that's out the way let's get started alright our director is a video
editing program it's a full featured editor and also a decent entry level
program it's a deal program for beginners and casual users especially if
you want to move away or upgrade from the Windows Movie Maker if you don't
necessarily have the time or patience to learn you know advanced editing programs
such as Premiere Pro then the PowerDirector 18 could be good fit for
you so right off the bat this video editing software offers three main ways
to create your video projects you can use the full feature editor this is kind
of similar to the timelines that you were saying in other video editing
program in case you're not ready to jump into that quite yet there's also an auto
mode feature that automatically creates video for you in just minutes now the
full editor gives you simplistic view of how to edit a video from start to finish
you have access to different tools to edit your videos such as mixing audio
green screen effects stabilizers they even have a tutorial videos just to show
you how it can be done which is extremely helpful especially for me
because I'm so used to the shortcuts in case of Premiere Pro I'm just really
glad that there's the tutorial videos in there to allow me to get used to the
basic keys and shortcuts of the PowerDirector like I said there's an
auto mode feature if you're pressed for time the auto mode aims to help you
create a finished video in just a couple of minutes all you have to do is load
the clips you want in the video select the style of video and pick your
background music so the program then analyze your footage along with its you
know algorithm to pick and choose the best shots for you
you know arranging the footage into a finished project when you preview this
you have the option to do some fine-tuning in the full feature editor I
have to say I actually tried the auto mode and it's actually not too bad I
personally like to edit my videos from start to finish it might be just short
of time or it could be just a personal photos or videos over a travel trip that
you know you don't really want to butter anything too much then look at the auto
mode helps do you find the power director is actually capable of editing
or handling you know high-end footage you know I put in a couple of my 4k
maverick to zoom footages in there it's actually not too bad it handles it
pretty well additionally this video editor is also featured an integrated
action cam center that eliminates the need to edit footage captured with
cameras in a separate application and importing them into PowerDirector I
don't actually have a 360 degree camera so I can't really comment on down but
from what I can gather and from the free 360 video file it actually works
PowerDirector includes a module that allows you to manipulate 360 degree
videos this tool can send anchor points pan and zoom through your footage add
effects and stabilize shaky recordings you can even add 360-degree titles that
match your footage perfectly rather than trying to warp a regular title to fit
and with the VA designer you can convert 360-degree videos to work with
conventional projects like set action don't mind using the power director it
took me a couple of hours just to get used to the keyboard shortcuts and also
watching some of the tutorials again those trolls are very very helpful
especially if you're not too familiar with video editing software
PowerDirector 18 is an excellent choice because it's easy and enjoyable to use
for beginners casual users and seasoned video editors it provides all the tools
you need to transform the footage on your camera into a polished video you
can share with family and friends this program helps you learn video and in
without compromising the power of the tools it offers so just a couple of
things to note for PowerDirector 18 is only available for Windows PC so if
you're using a Mac then that's not going to be available for you there's quite a
few different plans for power provided by CyberLink so the one knob
got is a power director 18 you just want to be clear the power director 18
software they've got what's provided to me by CyberLink for me to review they do
have different plans and pricing structures so you can choose a
PowerDirector 18 ultra ultimate which is a lifetime license they also offer a
subscription basis so there's a power director 365 or directors suite at 365
so again I'll drop the link down below so you can have a look on that one it's
really up to you to decide whether you want to buy a one-off purchase for a
lifetime access of a particular video editing program or you want to pay a
monthly subscription fee and you're gonna get you know the latest updates
whenever that's available alright well that's it for today I hope you guys
