Review by Al Swanson

In a world where… sorry. But seriously, in a world where owners manuals are few and far between, the fact that this baby came loaded with them should have been a clear indication I was dealing with a complex program.

Let’s face it, video editing is complex. Period. I appreciate the fact that a software maker respected that fact enough to include several manuals. They made the introduction of the app much easier. I didn’t say easy.

Along with complex, the Power Director 11 suite is incredibly powerful. Far beyond my simplistic needs - yet, somehow, very affordable. How can they do that when another big-name software designer feels their product is worthy of a couple weeks’ income? Perhaps because you’ll be married to it, they figure it should cost like a ring!nnIf you are interested in video editing and want incredible flexibility, power, relative simplicity and the thoughfulness of real, printed manuals, you’ve found it. Cyberlink has a winner here.
