About CyberLink PowerDirector

PowerDirector from CyberLink is a consumer and prosumer video editor that has long been a favourite in reviews for packing advanced features into an approachable interface. It offers a multitrack timeline, motion tracking, multicam, keyframes, 360-degree editing, screen recording and a long list of AI tools for background removal, sky replacement, upscaling, denoising, captions, reframing for social formats and agent-style automated editing. The PowerDirector 365 subscription includes regular feature updates and royalty-free stock from Getty Images and Meta Sound Collection, while a perpetual version is sold for those who prefer to buy once. The desktop editor is mainly a Windows product, with a Mac version that has fewer features, and there are mobile apps for iOS and Android. The interface is busy and CyberLink pushes its suite bundles, but for Windows users who want lots of capability for less than professional editors cost, it is strong value.

Best for: Windows users wanting lots of features and AI tools at a consumer price.
