Sky Replacement - which plans have it and which plans don't?

I'm confused about the availability of AI Sky Replacement as a plug-in depending upon which plan one decides to go with.

This thread (https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/84803.page#350684) in March 2021 seems to indicate that it is not available in the licensed versions but only in 365.

However, this thread (https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/85915.page#355674) in Oct 2021 is showing a demonstation of the feature in Version 20 Ultimate.

And there seems to be no definitive answer if AI Sky Replacement is available on the V20 Ultra. The "Plans and Pricing" web page at https://www.cyberlink.com/store/powerdirector-video-editing-software/buy_en_US.html show that "Advanced features (e.g. AI-powered tools, selection mask (vertex), shape designer etc)" are not in the Ultra version. But to me, that is not clear if AI Sky Replacement is to be considered an "advanced feature" or not. If it is, then what other things are considered an "advanced feature" that would be missing from the Ultra version? Why does Cyberlink not make this clear?

A little clarification would be helpful.

Hello Baldy95307,

It is true that the Sky Replacement feature was initially only included in PhotoDirector 365 & not the liftetime license version. As far as I can recall it was introduced to the current PhD13 (lifetime license) on release, which occurred many months after March 21. It is not part of PhD12 or earlier versions.

One thread you referenced was for PowerDirector 20, not PhotoDirector.

As of now, both PhD365 & PhD13 both include the feature.

This comparison table clearly shows that Sky Replacement in part of all current versions of PhotoDirector. I suspect some of your confusion has sprung from landing on information pages related to PDR rather than PhD.
