Review by The Lunar Staff

The Power Director 11 Ultimate Suite is a wonderful video editing program. The suite consists of the Power Director 11 Ultra, but adds ColorDirector & SoundDirector for further video and sound enhancement.

Although the suite is large which is close to 2 GB, resource wise, it is ample and does not bog down your system, as the results of other resource hogging software. However, it does take a while when editing large GB files.

It does require seperate registrations for all 3 programs (PowerDirector / ColorDirector / SoundDirector) even though it is one package. I don’t know why the set it up that way, but… oh well!nnThe bonus is that you if you are a Utimate Suite user, you get the PowerDirector Mobile software for Windows 8 tablets for free. That is a nice feature in itself.

I’m not a professional video person, just a father who likes getting those precious, once-in-a-lifetime moments on video of the kids that you just don’t ever want to miss.

I originally picked up PowerDirector 11 Ultra, but although I’m a rookie in video, I have higher expectations in my product, so I picked this one up too, and I’m glad I did. So you’re better off just skipping the Ultra and just getting the Ultimate Suite instead.

With all that being said, I’m a lifelong mixologist in music, so I’m always looking for enhancements and cool effects to use in my mixes. That is where my true interests are. There are a bunch of things you can do here that you just can’t get with Serato, GarageBand, etc… So I can put a new twist on some of those classic vinyl tracks.

Overall, very satisfied with this suite and I’m looking to get the most out of it, for both video and sound.
