It is inexpensive and there are a lot of features > > **Cons**: Some times is boggs down or gets glitchy and I have to shut it down and start over. > > I use it all the time for making youtube videos ----- ### "For daily needs for any in the industrial film business, this product, PowerDirector , does it all." — 5.0/5 > **Adam** | *10 June 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: When creating a film, you used to need several different software packages from Photoshop, to capture programs, to final conversion software. But with PowerDirector you have it all in one product. It is worth the price for all that you get. > > **Cons**: PowerDirector does have a learning curve. It follows a lot of the standards, but because there is SO MUCH it can do, even a seasoned pro will need to take some time to explore and learn. But it is worth it. > > PowerDirector is the only video software program we use and need. With all our team working on the same program, it has made our workflow and communications seamless and we get through our projects with ease. ----- ### "Good inexpensive video editing software" — 4.0/5 > **Andrew** | *29 September 2024* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy for beginners to use. Good enough to do most simple video editing. > > **Cons**: Can not export 10 but color which reduces the quality of your videos. ----- ### "Good editor for simple quick edits" — 4.0/5 > **Eero** | *18 May 2022* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Powerdirector is light-weight when comparing to the more robust video editing software out there, so it can be used with a slightly less powerful computer. It also has much less functionalities and confusing buttons, so it is a good starting point for someone wanting to learn video editing. > > **Cons**: There are some limitations that I have encountered - however, those missing functionalities might be added in the most recent version. A basic user is most likely not going to miss anything. Another thing I don't like is their move to the software as a service pricing model. This is why I stopped buying their products. > > I bought it on my phone first to edit some phone videos for fun. I liked it, so I bought the computer version. I am using it for quick edits and video combining, but I feel that for color-grading, video stabilization and some other tasks it is not robust enough. For those tasks I am using Da Vinci Resolve. It is much better, and it is also free. This is why I rate PowerDirector a bit expensive. ----- ### "PowerDirector is a good-value robust editor with lots of features and many available tutorials." — 5.0/5 > **John** | *18 May 2022* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is robust and rarely crashes unless you try to rush it beyond your hardware capabilities. It also seems very efficient at processing the final video. > > **Cons**: Sound editing has limitation unless you opt for the Power Director Suites that includes Audio Director. You probably save time and get the most value by using one of the Suites. Personally, I use other sound editing software and don't need Audio Director. > > I became quite comfortable with editing and putting together a weekly YouTube video for the past few years. I have no reason to change at present. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/289604/powerdirector?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/289604/powerdirector) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
