Hello,

I hope someone will be able to take a few minutes to answer some basic questions about PowerDirector.

I have been using another software product very similiar to PowerDirector but have been having issues with a satisfactory finished product. It has come to the point that I'm looking to replace the program.

Would someone please tell me if PowerDirector will create a finished video viewable on a television via a USB and DVD. That is the biggest issue I have with the current program. The finished product has a lot of graininess and wavy aspects while viewing.

Another question is concerning usage of sticker images. Currently I am able to use a photo editing software program to remove unwanted background from a photograph. This is then saved as a png file and can be inserted into the video creating program. It acts as a sticker with the removed area invisible. In other words, I can remove the background from a flower and place it into the video with just the flower showing.

The videos I create are made with still images and video clips. Other than the png files these videos are created using images and video clips taken with cell phones. The videos are enjoyed by my family and anxiously looked forward to.

Any additional information thay you feel would be helpful in making the decision to purchase PowerDirector would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi,

PowerDirector will do what you need.

However the best way is to try it so that you can test it on your system, with your resources. For example any AI effects - like auto sky replacement - require quite high end systems to edit satisfactorily.

Minimum specs are here :
https://www.cyberlink.com/products/powerdirector-video-editing-software/specs_en_US.html

Ther are 2 paths to purchasing PowerDirector - perpetual and subscription - they are broadly the same in functionality but subscription versions do have access to more bells and whistles. Both have their pros and cons regarding value for money and useage of the bells and whistles.

You can download the free essentials version here:
https://www.cyberlink.com/downloads/trials/powerdirector-video-editing-software/download_en_US.html

Note the limitations here :

Post using the trial, CyberLink do have a 30 day refund policy that seems to be efficient :

Worth looking at the FAQs etc here for more info :

Any more questions, get back to us.
