No, it seems every time I try to contact them I get auto-replies only asking for stuff I often already answered earlier. I kinda hoped the forums would be a way to reach a real person on Cyberlink.

Hi!
I have an idea for a lightweight version of PowerDirector who I think would sell really well. One really large part of YouTube is the gaming and gameplay-videos. Today many people upload crappy Windows Movie-maker edited videos or spend a long time in illegal versions of Sony Vegas to edit just a little. There really is not a perfect program to edit our movies in!
PowerDirector is by far the fastest program when it comes to render the clip but editing can at times be a bit slow, especially as it scans the clips every time we hightlight them to see what specific feature (Magic Movie Wizard, Magic Fix, Magic Style, Magic Music and all those).
Removing some features of PowerDirector to make it a fast, easy and streamed editor and then making it available on Steam as THE editor for gameplays would sure make a lot of us happy as many of us make clips every day. 
Looking at PowerDirector 11 Ultra for comparison below:
Features gamers DON'T need:
-Easy Editor
-Slideshow Creator
-Any of the wizards (Magic Movie Wizard, Magic Fix, Magic Style, Magic Music and such)
-Content Aware Editing
-Continuious thumbnails
-3D editing of any sort
-PiP Objects
-Chapter Room
-Particle Room
-Create Disc
Important features gamers DO need (some important, some just for fun) :
-Fast rendering (who you're famous for)
-Chroma Key
-Title Room
-Transition Room
-The Keyframe items
-Audio Mixing Room
-Voice Over Recording Room
-Subtitle Room
Also, the whole Produce-tab could easily be exchanged to something way simplier. Some like to be able to upload to YouTube directly from the program but I think most actually save the movies and upload manually, thus being able to not having to go through another program and we can use the advanced settings on YouTube (such as Claim, Thumbnails and more).
So, all we need from the Produce-tab is a YouTube upload (for those who choose that) and a couple of fast-rendered formats in 720p and 1080p (with a few different quality-choise settings maybe) who is optimized for YouTube.
Estamated price? Well, looking at how the other products range today, how about USD 25-30? That is in a range who even the chepiest of gamers can afford and feel good about himself for actually paying for something for once. Hahaha! (Btw, yes, I've bought PD myself since version 9 to 11.)
The most important thing is to get it on Steam so that gamers will find it and have easy access to it. Then it would sell crazy fast, I'm sure.
So, what do you say crew? If anyone is actually visiting the forums. And what do you other think, any other gamers who think this would be awesome? I've talked with other gamers on Skype about this idea and just about everyone thinks it would be great.
