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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • One of the easiest movie editing tools. It is a great stepping stone into more complex softwares. I also love how you can edit movies either on your computer or on the iMovie app.
  • - iMovie is the best application to quickly edit raw videos with basic transitions and cuts. - It is a lightweight software available on both Mac and iPhone. - It has all the necessary features for basic editing. - the rendering time is quite low, and the overall UI feels a lot smoother.
  • - It is the best application for simple and quick video editing. - It has all the basic features like trimming, captions, effects and transitions. - It comes free with Apple devices. - The rendering time of the software is lightening.
  • It's hard to beat a program that's FREE! Not only that, but it has enough functionality to meet most any need for a beginner to medium level movie maker.
  • Comes preinstalled on Mac OS. Easy to use for beginners. Best for editing small videos or just edit a small project that does not have much effects.

Cons

  • There is definitely a learning curve when it comes to knowing how to use the software. But, once you get it down it is quite user friendly.
  • - It did not have any con, but some templates or pre-made presets would be a great add to this software.
  • - iMovie can be used to edit simple video quickly, but it is not suitable for heavy or professional editing.
  • The only con would be that it has to be run on a Mac. But, if you buy a Mac, it's already included :-)
  • I have found no cons in using this and works pretty well for me.
