Power Director or Power DVD?

if you have a program that works for you, why look for another? .

Not to sound flippant but do you like context switching? Software has a learning curve. This one in particular, Powerdirector, does as well. I prefer all my creative and digital artifacts to be in one place. That’s the primary reason I want it all in Power Director so ilI don’t have to use different software to do similar things.



Do you know if PD can do this? Do you know what OBS is?

"Do you know if PD can do this?"

In a word no, whereas OBS claims to be for/capable of live streaming. I've never looked at it so have no personal experience.

PDR is specifically non linear editing software. It already has some 'extraneous' features such as uploaders which I think are best left to the apps meant for that purpose. I believe that a proper tool built for the job is much to be preferred.

No, Yes

Did you try? .

IF you mean, after you wrote this post no but I did look and it seems that the thing that it can do is screen capture (not sure if at 60fps). I checked out OBS and it's more like a real time production system where you can overlays on the system.
