This is the 3rd Edition of PowerDirector I’ve used and the basic tools and layouts are essentially the same as previous versions. If you’re comfortable with the old version, you should feel at home here. There aren’t a lot of new features but there is a marked improvement in performance. I was able to work with high definition video without downsampling and it ran smoothly in the advanced editor. Start up and applied effects are also faster as well as shorter render times with 64 bit performance. If you use PowerDirector frequently the price of the upgrade is worth it in terms of performance enhancements.

That having been said I would like to see the program being able to detect frame rate in your videos automatically and suggest render settings that are best for specific websites.
