So far I've struck out with this software. I tried running this on my primary system and the end result is jerky videos regardless how I produce them . The finished videos show speed variations when playing back yet the orginal material before editting plays flawlessly. I tried installing PowerDirector 13 on my laptop also runnning Windows 10 and it just bombed and aborted during the install. At least for me I have to say this software is NOT compatible with Window 10 even with the latest patches

Do you have Nvida graphicscards on your systems? I'm using AMD myself and have no problems though I've heard several people complain about Nvidia's drivers on Windows 10.

I'm runniing an older nvidia graphics card (GTX260) which appears to be an issue with PD13 according to this forum. No mention on the minimum requirements on the package though. I'll be installing a EVGA GTX960 today but I believe Windows 10 is the issue, again software claims compatibility but is concidered an issue AFTER you purchase it. Kind of like advertising a car having great acceleration then explaining to the buyer AFTER purchase you meant only down hill with a tail wind. I know no software supplier can claim full compatibility across the board but come on this compatability claim with windows 10 is a stretch in my opinion and so are the software's minimum hardware requirements.

Well, it's allways good to check the requierments online too. You'll find them at

Might be that Windows 10 changed things around as those specs say that it should be compatible. Also, I just saw that it has some issues with some of the latest drivers for Nvidia. Let's hope they'll (PD or Nvidia) find a fix for it.

The only problem I have with PowerDirector 13 is not being able to render DV AVI files in Windows 10. Otherwise, I installed it with no problems. And I can render with other videos files just fine.

Installed the EVGA GTX960 last night and it made a huge difference in rendering time. I didn't have alot of time to fully exercise PD13 but I did a quick render of a short 1080P file that was jittery and stuttered during playback before the new video card and results were excellent. Rendering time dropped by 75% and there was no noticable stuttering during playback so I'm optimistic about this upgrade being a solid solution

Glad to hear that!

Hi oldthor,
As soon as I saw you mention the old card 260.... the issue looked really obvious. Then you stated you were upgrading the card...wham you were already going to correct the issue. Good to read the end result. Thank you for posting the follow up.
FYI The 260 if I recall correctly couldn't even use the benefits of DirectX v11 and with DirectX 12 in W10...
