PowerDirector 21 Ultra & PhotoDirector 14 Ultra | Easy Video Editing and Photo Editing Software | Slideshow Maker | Screen Recorder [Retail Box with Download Card]

Powerful Editing and Creating Software. This software is for editing photos, videos, and a slick slideshow creator. It has numerous editing functions as well as a gallery loaded with extra content. I particularly like the full range of text fonts and how easy it is to manipulate their colors, sizes, shadows, etc. for use in either your slide program or videos. This software also provides many templates for creating a very professional look to your images. There is a learning curve and I learn a bit more every time I use this platform. In addition they provide 50GB of cloud storage in their extra’s. Its a very easy install with two CD’s. Disc 1 sets up both the Power Director and the Photo Director and Disc 2 contains all the extras. You can download the program also from the internet, just make sure you have your KEY Codes handy as you will need to enter them to solidify ownership. This is a super value compared to other editing software.

I used to do photo and video editing very often (and used an earlier version of this software). Its been awhile so there is definitely a learning curve here. Its not software you click on and magic occurs. However, if you take the time to watch some YouTube videos, it works great. Its worth the time to learn how to do it. I am working on editing old family photos and some drone videos done by my son. Its definitely worth the learn and is easier than other software that I have attempted. The results are fantastic.

I am a someone who usually is able to figure out programs if logical and intuitive. PowerDirector is. But the University on Youtube is huge and impressive in that I expect to be able to create acceptable videos in a short amount of time. Still need to make some effort and invest some learning time but they do provide the tools you need.

I read the listing carefully before ordering. I even did a search on the word windows. No where did the listing at the time of my ordering tell me this would y work on an Apple machine. The company is known to produce software for both Apple and Windows. I was disappointed to Recife a box that clearly says only works on windows. I contacted the vendor - which requires you to open the box and register your product code to even get help, and they basically provided me the instruct to download this software online and suggested I buy the Apple version. So they were of no help whatsoever. I am very disappointed. Buyer beware.

Install issues and product support was wonderful. I enjoy the program and would recommend this product to other users.

Ive used CyberLinks software for years, and when you need these features, it is the tool to use. It has just the right blend of easy to use the first time with enough features that you actually use that work great. Highly recommended.

The desc suggests ability to make a slide show with video clips as well - well that was incorrect After spending hours trying to make this work I finally gave up and sent this back for credit

First, I would like to clarify what I mean by easy. Ive used another professional video editor for years, and it is still my go-to for more professional videos. I also used their other product directed at Photo Editing. That software takes a long time to master. In comparison, PowerDirector 21 Ultra and PhotoDirector 14 are easy. But there is always some learning curve with anything new. Even I struggled a little to find what I needed. Being more experienced, I will keep using the other software, but I did like PowerDirector and my wife decided she prefers this one because she doesnt do as many video and photo editing as I do. It is very powerful and will meet the needs of most vlogers, and hobbyists.

The CyberLink PowerDirector 21 Ultra & PhotoDirector 14 Ultra package is a complete photo and video editing software package that includes TONS of features for your WINDOWS based computer. Yes, this is a Windows based software package that includes the two CD installation disk set, or if you laptop or desktop does NOT have a CD ROM unit, it also includes the Digital Download instructions so you can download the software without using the disks. You will need the Registration Key Code regardless of which method you use to install the software. This key code is printed on Disk 1 of the software. I used the disks to install on my computer running Windows 11 without a hitch and it took about 15 minutes to finish the installation of all the software. I am not “unfamiliar” to photo and video editing, however I have never used PowerDirector. Following the excellent step by step directions and tutorials so far the software looks amazing! I am sure there will be a bit of a “learning curve” as there is with all new software programs however I look forward to learning and utilizing this as much as I can going forward. I do most of my current editing on my mobile devices (both iPhone and IPads) so I look forward to having my big monitor in use with this software in the future. I was able to import a bunch of my short videos and pics from my iPhone and IPad to folders on my computer for use via the software and built folders for them. As I stated, this software is jam packed with just about any editing tool you can think of and so far I am just scratching the surface of what can be done! I plan to watch all the tutorials provided and also setup my account for other info and tips from CyberLink along with the 1 year free cloud storage provided free as well!! If you are into video/picture editing from the basics to pro, this package should be able to do it all, and then some!

As advertised
