Cyberlink PowerDirector 13 UltimatennLet me start out by saying there are many high quality Video Editing software out there that offer a lot of high tech effects, lots features that take many weeks or months of continue use to master, but one of the most important features to me must be that Ease of Use feature.

I don’t have a degree in video editing, I just want a fairly simple program that offers many features that don’t require vast knowledge of rocket science to operate. In this Cyberlink PowerDirector, I think I found one.

The process is simple and to the point, Capture, Edit, Produce and Create a Disk. This program was the simplest I’ve ever was able to capture video without a bunch of hoopla, especially from my Canon VIXTA Mini X. Once captured, editing was easy so far as all I wanted to do was clean up my video of my new grandchildren, edit out the different pauses and rearrange some of the sequences before copying to several disks to share with other family members.

Another feature was how easy it was to change the format and how quickly the Rendering process was. You know, isn’t the usual long time it takes for a project to render a real deal breaker. This program is three times as fast as the others I’ve used and own.

And because this is the Ultimate version, it came with several add-ons that offer many different approaches to video editing like CyberLinks newest version of WaveEditor 2 for that awesome sound effects, Holiday and Wedding effects and what seems to be an endless array of special effects and adjustments. And although having the ability to view actual 4K is limited and still priced very high, this software has you covered for that also.

Am I an expert using CyberLink’s newest video editing software, not quite, but so far I am finding it to be the easiest software of this type to master. Along with my new video camera, his software and the several holidays just around the corner, I am looking forward to making some awesome videos.
