KEY FEATURES
Now with 360° Video
PowerDirector now supports complete end-to-end 360-degree video editing, opening up a whole new world of possibilities.
Import equirectangular footage, create a 360° project, edit with a full range of design tools, then export in 360° format.
Add titles and effects for viewers to discover as they explore your creation. Experiment with transitions, animated objects and more!
The unique View Designer enables you to use 360° video footage in standard video projects: it's like you've filmed a scene with multiple cameras from multiple angles.
Pro-style Movies in Minutes with Express Projects
Express Projects is the fast, easy way to quickly create professional-quality videos in three simple steps: open Express Projects from the PowerDirector launcher and import you videos; drag'n'drop the clips you want into the beginning, middle and end segments of the project; then produce your video and share it instantly with friends and family on social media. Easy as Pie!
Vertical Video like a Pro!
With so much video now being shot vertically on mobiles, PowerDirector has added a new design mode that lets you upload mobile video for YouTube, Facebook and Vimeo by getting rid of those empty black bars!
And now, Orientation Smart Video Rendering Technology (SVRT) makes video production faster by analyzing your project and rendering only segments of footage that have been modified regardless of the clips' orientation.
Action Camera Center, now even Better!
PowerDirector's new Action Camera Center is a toolkit for every extreme video maker. Create stop-motion videos, add zoom and pan effects, stabilize video, correct distortions like fisheye, correct color problems and apply slow motion, freeze frame, zoom, or even 'rock'n'roll' your videos! The results will be breathtaking, full of action and adrenaline.
Video Blending
Merge clips on different timeline tracks to create a huge array of eye-catching effects that will bring unique impact to your videos. Working like a pro has never been easier, more intuitive!
Industry-leading Rendering Speed and Format Support
The new TrueVelocity 6 rendering engine is a 64-bit powerhouse offering smoother previewing and significantly faster production than other consumer video editing software. And PowerDirector allows you to enjoy the latest and greatest formats and codecs like 4K UltraHD, AVCHD 3D/Progressive, XAVC-S and H.265.
High Frame-Rate Video Editor
Import 120/240fps slow motion footage from your iPhone, GoPro or other action sports cameras, or download videos directly from YouTube or Vimeo with Social Media Download. Add titles or effects, and use the new Action Camera Center to edit your video. Playback it inside PowerDirector, so that you can preview it stutter-free before you produce, then export your high frame rate video fast with hardware accelerated rendering!
Unique and Customizable Design Tools
Explore your creativity with a powerful collection of uniquely customizable design tools and the flexibility to highlight the very best of your work.
Create masks from multiple Titles and Images, and arrange each object independently. Track people and objects in your footage, easily and conveniently. Customize a title's motion, font size, gradient color, border, blur level, transparency and reflection. Create Themes, Transitions, Menus, PiPs, or work with the Multicam Designer, for pro results.
