    It's a good program for the money. Just go on YouTube for instructions and examples how to use the program.

    A fine solution for a home video

    This home video creator did alright compared to Adobe Premiere elements which I have used in the past. However, it was still frustrating and cumbersome when dealing with transitions and menu creation, even crashing several times in spite of the beast gaming rig I recently built. For the price, it was worth the somewhat minor frustrations. However, these devs need to add the following: automatically apply a single transition between all content and automatically add Ken Burns effects to all photo content.

    I bought this to make slides shows of some photos. Found it very easy to do. Can add my own music and it also had several different formats for making slide shows. Was easy to do, and my family enjoyed the shows. Also was easy to burn to a DVD for play back on my bluRay player and watch on my TV.

    Works good for the average consumer. Lacks some features and is a little easier to learn and use then some of the others such as Adobe Premier. It is a little slow working with 4K, but I did a hard drive test and my 7200rpm hard drive seems to be the bottle neck in the equation. Other than that it is pretty responsive. Can't beat the features for the price when it is on sale.

    Great software! I bought this for my boyfriend since he is into making videos and he loves it. He started off with the Pinnacle software and always saw him complaining about how slow it is. So I did some research and decided to give this program a try. He loves it and it's super fast. Easy to use and has a lot of great features. Definitely worth it!

    Great software that has everything needed for video and sound production for most needs. It accommodates all skill levels. I'm a struggling beginner but it has many advanced features that I still need to learn. Has a good help system that will make learning easier.

    Easy To Learn Video Editing Program

    A few years ago, a friend recommended PowerDirector for a project that I was working on, as I did not have the budget to afford Final Cut or Adobe Premiere. I also am not a Mac user. I was able to edit and create what I needed with ease. I am surprised that this program isn't more well known. It worked so well that I decided to upgrade to the latest version.

    I have hundreds of hours of vhs, svhs, DVD, and iPhone video to archive and burn to DVD. This program includes a video capture program which worked flawlessly, regardless of noise/static between clips. There are extensive editing choices, and rendering is very fast with my win 10 laptop. While there are about 400 pages in the documentation PDF, it is not very intuitive, and took lots of experimentation to get exactly what I wanted to do, so be patient.

    I bought this software to do video editing and to be able to upload my videos to various video storage sites. It does exactly what it says it's supposed to do. It's easy to use and you can find lots you tube videos explaining how to use it.

    I did a lot of research for video programs and found that Power Director was the best program for the money. It is easy to use and with tutorials to help you navigate through every project.

    This video editing software is easy to use. I bought it for editing cooking videos and hubby puts the videos together quickly. The finished product is great looking. There are many features available to add special effects and this creates You-Tube ready videos quickly and easily. You can get as fancy as you want or keep it simple, there's something for every need in editing.

    I didn't read reviews before purchasing but I did talk to geek squad. It's a little different than windows movie maker and took some patience to figure out but overall it's pretty user friendly. I'm happy with it.

    I was looking for an editing program that had layers to it and was not oversimplified. This editor has all the tools I need to do more complex editing, while also maintaining an ease about it when I want to finish a project quickly. I'd highly recommend it.
