CyberLink PowerDirector 21 Ultra - Easy Video Editing | Easy-to-Use Video Editing Software With Thousands of Visual Effects | Slideshow Maker | Screen Recorder [Retail Box with Download Card]

Will not load on Win 10, had to get my Win7 computer out and it runs. Not sure I am going to like this!

Despite buying a disc copy of the program and installing it, it will not run without online activation. Comes with a product key to type in to activate it. I have Windows 7, 64 bit and cannot get this program to activate. I keep getting the same error message saying there is a problem connecting to the activation server and to check my internet connection. My internet connection is good. My product key code is valid. And yet I cant get the product to activate. Tryed a few suggestions such as turning off anti-virus and firewall protections. Still cant get it to activate. So this has been a waste of $80. If I could rate zero stars I would because customer support has been a joke. Emailed them twice with my issue and both times I got the same generic message saying my concern has been addressed in the FAQ. Basically.....figure it out for yourself. Great support.

Im early on the learning curve with CyberLink PowerDirector 21. Ive worked with still photos in PhotoShop Elements and other software, but this is my first venture into video work. The learning curve is steep, but the software has lots of explanatory and tutorial videos. Prior versions of PowerDirector have tons of tutorial videos, template designs and other helpful things on YouTube. If, like me, you are new to video editing, this is a good place to start. When first opening the program, it appears overwhelming, but starting with the excellent and detailed tutorials, you come up to speed to get started pretty quickly. The software has some computer requirements that might be beyond your machine if you are using an older machine with minimal memory or a slow processor. Amazon pages for the product dont show system requirements, so I added a photo of the side of the box showing the system requirements. The program comes with an installation DVD, but it also has the link for downloadable software if your computer does not have a DVD drive. Im happy with this software and look forward to gaining the skills needed to use most of the capabilities.

It is really easy to use, and gives you tools to edit your videos to perfection.

Decided to put all of my old videos onto dvds and this has been great. Easy to figure out.

For basic video editing software, this works fine. Installation was easy, with no issues in Windows 10 Pro. I use Adobe Premiere Elements primarily, which I prefer - but it is more complicated to use. If you need good, basic video editing with a few extra bells and whistles, this is a nice software package.

I bought this version due to building and upgrading my own custom PC computers. I built my gaming machine for gaming and I wanted to use Power Director 21 on it. I bought my copy from Amazon and had a lot of trouble installing it from the DVD/CDs it came with. I tried the digital download that came with it but it kept saying my serial number was either used or out wrong. I finally cleaned the disks media and got it to work and it took my serial number. The box appeared to be unopened. Strange. I did contact Support and they did send me the download version link in an email. I love the program but the install was extremally ruff.

I have always wanted to start doing review videos of products. This honestly is a pretty simple software to navigate through and honestly gives me hope that I will some day get to do my video product reviews. I am not verry tech savvy, but this software is pretty simple to understand.

This has plenty of functions that are useful when your looking for something to edit your videos, but it takes quite a bit of practice. Ive used some of there software before, albeit from earlier years, but even then this took time to get used to. Dont get me wrong, its got some great features to use on videos...you just might spend longer trying to figure out how to find and use them the first few times you need to. That being said, there is a decent amount of resources available, so your not thrown to the wolves, you just have to be patient using it.

Very easy to use. Walks you through the process no matter what you want to do with your video. I have this installed on a Windows 10 operating system. Plenty of youtube videos show you how to do different projects. Highly recommend.
