Power Director allows you to add as many tracks as needed and include wipes and sound effects. Additionally, the interface is simple, with buttons and ribbons clearly arranged, and it operates smoothly. Even beginners can edit videos by dragging and dropping or clicking on the screen, checking each effect as they edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PowerDirector? When I was performing a series of fine cut edits, the screen suddenly went blank several times, and the work I had just done was lost. Please improve this so that I can use it with peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PowerDirector solving and how is that benefiting you? The video editing software installed on the shared PC before it was updated last year was not only slow but also had a complex interface that was difficult for beginners to use, leading to no one using it. Instead, videos of students' works and activities for the school website were created and edited using Photo Legacy. However, there was a sense of dissatisfaction due to the desire for more advanced editing capabilities. In this context, fortunately, the shared PC updated last year came with Power Director Ultra, which offers user-friendly templates and a variety of effects, and operates smoothly, allowing for enjoyable video creation and editing.

JF Jen F. Comics Writer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/22/2023 "Support sucks, but stock library, effects, and updates are incomparably awesome" 5/5 What do you like best about PowerDirector? Updates are phenomenal. I'm using the PowerDirector mobile, and it's amazing how granular and vast the effects options are for the price. I pay $4.99 a month and have access to three enormous stock libraries of images, movies, and music, plus I'm using a fantastic chroma key, gaussian blur, and tons of really pretty effects like fire and magic that just make it so much easier to create fantastic worlds. I've played with some other mobile options, and this is by far the best, for me, especially for the price. You can even edit on mobile in 4k. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PowerDirector? Support for mobile sucks. It sucks sucks sucks. I cannot re-emphasize enough how many extra hoops they make you jump through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PowerDirector solving and how is that benefiting you? Needed chroma key and beautiful, creative effects and backgrounds.

Product Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/24/2022 "Premium video editing Android application" 4.5/5 What do you like best about PowerDirector? Power Director is one of the strongest video editing apps available on the play store. It has options for adding multiple audio and video on the same project.

It's OK. Nothing similar software doesn't have that I can see. It's completely adequate. A little confusing to use. Could use better text transitions. Does a bunch of things I do not use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PowerDirector? They incessantly goad you to update - and when I tried to get what was promoted as a "free" update, it put watermarks on my video until I paid. The long and the short of it is that this software, while otherwise adequate, it is tantamount to ransomware. Keep looking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
