Review by Christina Paul

First of all, I use a great many non linear editing packages for digital film. I cut my teeth on Final Cut Pro 7, I have used Avid and Adobe Premier (CS5). I have also used some off the shelf- consumer oriented packages. I will say that Cyberlinks Power Director 10 is ok for what it is. Having been spoiled with the prosumer packages, it made Power Director 10 seem somewhat counterintuitive for me. It was prone to crashes for me and that very well could be that I just need more RAM. Those crashes, however, can be very frustrating when you are in the flow working on a project or are on a tight deadline. I do like the subtitles feature, and it does take advantage of the 64 bit technology, but it just is not my first choice for an editing package.
