Pros
not the worst at least
Cons
It's one of the slowest amount all 6 editors I tested, and one with the less convenient and intuitive user interface. Other problem is lack of editing features many other editors provide
Summary
I would consider this editor to be one of the worst on the market, at least one of the worst of 6 other editors I tested recently.

Pros
None that I could find
Cons
Buggy
support sucks
customer service is a joke
Summary
Horrible experience! Software was buggy and support sucks! Less than 2 weeks after the purchase I asked for a refund. No can do, they say. You can buy another, more expensive product and we''l apply the original to that, but no money back. And the woman in customer service I dealt with was rude and condescending. I would advise staying far away from this company. (I'm still a little pissed. or is it obvious?)

Pros
I find CyberLink a great programme but I timelessly dislike their constant updates and asking for more money (and not cheap). I purchased full out the Ultra version and even before (if I had taken the 30 days trail) I had time to evaluate what I had pruchased the start up was BUY THIS - BUY THAT - UPDATE - UPGRADE - TRAIL THIS - TRAIL THAT - BUY NOW etc.etc.etc. I am seriously now considering scrapping this programme and get a NONE MONEY GRABBING Software....

Pros
Fast loading, opens most file types
Cons
Not very intuitive compared to other amateur editors I've used. New versions every six months? Help for other than latest version gone.
Summary
It's almost like Adobe subscription software, except they don't call it that. If you don't keep upgrading, you have no online help. The old Studio editor was much better, but Corel wrecked it...like they do everything. Still looking for the right editor.

Pros
Easy to import video, edit video, export video
Cons
Missing simple audio editing functions like panning an audio track. Have to export the track to an audio editor, pan it, import the panned track back into the timeline. LOTS of wasted time on something that should be a simple turn of the knob or slider.
Summary
Hasn't crashed yet, makes good final videos, but not sure if I can continue using it because I do a lot of audio panning and it's a pain in the neck.

Pros
There are no pros
Cons
All the videos I take are 4k format, and the 30 day trial version doesn't support this format. That's frustrating because it takes a LONG time to download and install the software, and nowhere does it say that the trial version does not support the same video formats as the purchased version. They wasted an hour of my time, so they get 1 star. I hope this rating and review will save someone else the hassle of downloading this software.

Pros
NONENONE NONE NONE
Cons
Slow and no support and missing the expected.
CyberLink is horrible software. It is S..L..O..W.... keep waiting.
And once I've built a production I can't export it to mp4 - just one of the most used media formats - if its possible they hide it well.
Take the advice of a user that wanted to get something done fast.
No support to be found... just a link back and forth on their website .
Be wise STAY AWAY

Pros
Cost. Slide shows
Cons
Regarding Video making all my computer has done is stall and create saccadic playbacks with every video I have made if I add any changes to the original video (time lapse, reverse, rotate )
I searched multiple forums and there are a lot of people having problems.
I recently purchased Adobe cloud and downloaded Adobe Premier Pro CC and have had no problems what so ever on the same computer.
Intel Core 2 Duo ProV 2.66 Ghz, Windows 7 65 bit Pro, 8 GB 800 Mhz Ram, NVidia 2GB GT 610, 150 GB HDD (7500 rpm).
Summary
Don't believe the hype! PowerDirector is a dog and very frustrating for video editing.
If you don't want to be frustrated with making video productions, even small home type stuff then get the Creative cloud and download Premier Pro. It's totally worth it!
