PowerDirector 21 Ultra & PhotoDirector 14 Ultra | Easy Video Editing and Photo Editing Software | Slideshow Maker | Screen Recorder [Retail Box with Download Card]

I do not have a CD/DVD reader on my new computer. There is a link to the digital copy in the instructions that doesnt work. When I contacted cyberlink support after creating an account, there response was, You will need to supply a picture of the product, the disks with the product key, and proof a purchase. If you have a disk reader, maybe this is for you... If you dont, buy from someone else. Wow, what a headache.

Installation and setup was a pain but that seems to be universal. Not sure why they make it so difficult? I mostly played around with the video editing and I really enjoyed it. It was easy and intuitive and took no time at all to create exactly what I wanted. It was a perfect time saver for me in creating my lame content. I dont have to waste nearly as much time creating something that nobody will ever actually see.

I’d seen some of the YouTube people I watch talk about their editing the videos they put on there and I know they use PowerDirector. The reason, I found out, is because it’s absolutely awesome and amazing!! Extremely versatile and if you know how to use all the features I believe you could do just about anything! I’m still trying to learn everything it’s capable of, but there is so much it’s mind blowing! The box came with a disc, but also has a digital download option, and since I don’t have a disc drive (don’t think many do these days) that’s the route I went. It really didn’t take very long for as intricate of an operation as it is. Once it’s installed the fun begins!! Having two or more screens would probably be ideal for editing, but I’ve just been using my laptop and it works fine. Just make sure you have all the requirements to run it. If you don’t have very much ram like me you might experience slight occasional lag, but it’s worth it, I promise. Once you see the end result you’ll be so happy you got this program. From my research it looks like just about everyone in the professional industry actually uses this program because it’s so amazing. Maybe not for films like Avatar, but I’m sure it’s been used far more often than we realize. It’s versatility is out of this world, and I’ve been watching a gentleman on YouTube who’s tutorials are fantastic. PowerDirector University is the channel name, and this guy is extremely talented, and a wonderful resource. It may even be put on by the company but I can’t figure that out yet. Regardless, he can show you how to go from the basics all the way to high level editing. Lastly, I’d say this, I didn’t know what a time commitment this would be. But editing something the right way is a full time job for some folks, so if you’ll be a nights and weekend user like myself you might want to few up your schedule for a bit. But it’s extremely fun to watch your creation come to life, and you won’t regret it. Highly recommend!!!

The product seems like it can do a lot, but finding out how to use it is another challenge as there are no instructions. When you go to the website it appears as though there are tutorials; however, when you view them you find that its advice for a different program like the Mobile Version which is not the same. Amazon was able to find something that will help. I am very disappointed with the assistance from Cyberlink. Seems that they are only interested in assisting their subscription services. When you do contact them concerning issues to their website, instead of dealing with your question they send the same link that didnt work in your question. No one actually reads your requests, its just an automated response. Maybe they dont work anything but M-F, 9-5. Not exactly 24-7-365 support.

This is an awesome set of software for both photos and video and has been instrumental in helping me create the most powerful photos and videos for my real estate practice. While getting to learn it can be a challenge, the tutorial and other videos found online will show you the way to optimize all the features in this software. It is an excellent value for all that you are able to do. I am extremely happy with it!

As advertised

This is very fun to use and does a really nice job of editing. My concern is that some people are saying there is a renewal fee, however, it is stated that this is a one time fee. I guess time will tell. Should I get a renewal notice I will come back and adjust the review. Other than that this package has a lot of tools and it is fairly easy to use.
