Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I'm middle aged and have older eyes so some of the video software, which most have black backgrounds, is very hard for me to read. I didn't find that problem with this program most likely because it's a very simple and straightforward video creator. I didn't have any problems with the sound and I was able to reduce my music track to 10% easily. My completed video looks good. I like that it's very intuitive and if you've ever created a video before you don't have any learning curve to use this program.
  • - well designed - a rich offer of Transition, Effect, Text and Motion options - a very good export possibilities
  • It's simple and easy to use. Allows for a lot of transitions. You can easily add text in your video as well.
  • Added 3 GIFs and they linked perfectly. Then I chose Export and had good choices-as GIF, or MP4, etc.., and excellent resolution. Total length 27 seconds, something like 20 mb.
  • Simple to use for simple edits and cuts It costs nothing

Cons

  • I didn't have any of the problems other reviewers spoke about. I highly doubt I will pay $12.99 a month for it though. The price is a little too high for me. I'd rather purchase a program than pay monthly anyway.
  • All cons are related to the timeline: - when the program is unresponsive (very often) there is no any information what is happening - a sound file should have the original time duration width immediately when set below the picture. Now is necessary to expand slide, then expand a sound, then expand a slide a little bit more, then expand a sound ...... - after 10 or more slides is not easy to get active slide in the middle of screen. The user should work at right end of the screen - after an transition insertion (Apply to All) all sounds loose a synchronization - if a user want to insert an additional slide with a sound between two slides every slide and sound on the right side need to be reset
  • It's tedious having to keep sliding the marker over the video to select what part you're looking at. It'd be nice if you could just use the arrow keys or even scroll along some how. The audio can easily get corrupted- many videos i made with this the audio gets sluggish the later it gets in the video. There's no way to magnify part of the screen_video - for example to highlight something.
  • Got message; 'insufficient data space.' Nonsense. It made the folder (D...minimovie...output) and as another viewer noted, you can't option any other location. Well, my D still has 400+ gigs open and this is saying it can't fit 20 megs. Can't save except as 'project' so can't use normally. Bah! Needs options. And a brain.
  • No Options settings Popping and crackling sound making it unusable No help available for problems like above, just a user manual that falsely assumes everything will work

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • In the 90’s I loved this program. However, since Cyberlink has witness a decrease in sales over the years, the are cutting back on features. Video edit/ creation continues to be a breeze. There are many new features available. They have updated their mobile device catalog/ exporting to Social Media sites.
  • It is an amazing video editing app, it is so easy to use. Almost everyone thinks about this app once before editing any video. It has good effects and amazing features. You can easily do the voiceover, add clips and pictures in a video with the help of PowerDirector.
  • Easy to use even for beginners Real time preview of edited video Huge Effects & Animation library Direct integration with Youtube for uploads Screen recording Decent pricing for perpetual license

Cons

  • Discontinued Dolby Digital 5.1/ DTS 5.1. Considering all the new audio codec available, one would think that Cyberlink would implement them into future releases. To this day, the program does not recognize an add-in digital tuner, only analog. It’s 2023, it’s time to get up to speed. I will not pay a monthly fee. I believe Cyberlink thinks this is a way for making up for lost sales.
  • The only thing is that it comes with a watermark which does not look great to everyone. Also, a premium plan is not affordable to everyone.
  • Interface can be simplified. Heavy on system resources especially while processing videos.
