Hi there,
as a long time Premiere user, I wanted to see what's new/different/better in PD9. Main reason is because my Premiere is no longer working on Windows 7.
But the forum rules say : only discuss PD9 here and the trial version's download is now blocking since 2 days... so I'm stuck.
Can anybody help my out with
1. or a place where I can discuss the differences between Premiere and PD
2. or a link which I can use the download the trial PD9 to see for myself ?
Thanks !
Hugo

This is a comparsion chart, does not show much, seems all of the same check marks for both PD and Premiere.

Here is another review.

If you search google using this string without quotes "differences between Premiere and Powerdirector 9"
You get some hits.

Hi Carl,

Funny thing : the link you mentioned is the one that brought me to Cyberlink in the first place. But thanks anyway for your response.
:

Google is indeed very sparse with usefull information if you would like to find a good analysis of the difference between the 2 applications...

Don't know why you say the Trial download in blocked. I had no problem downloading it here... right from the Cyberlink downloads tab above....

Hi Bubba
When clicking the download a small programm gets downloaded and executed. Imediately after it says , download aborted. Can it be 'US only' ? I live in Europe.
Tried both, at home and at work : same effect...
any thoughts ?

The first download is a little downloader program. Just double click it after it downloads choose run and PD starts downloading. No problem with the downloader of PowerDirector download in Australia. My youtube channel====> http://www.youtube.com/user/relate2?feature=mhsn
