Amazingly, the particles aren’t just stock footage either they are quite adjustable. There’s also the Particle Room tab to add particle effects, from falling flower petals to snowflakes. The next tab is the PiP Objects Room with a fair amount of graphic elements to place over video footage. Under the Effect Room tab, there are more than 100 different effects to enhance footage from blurs, tiles and even crazier stuff.
It’s easy to split, unlink, modify, trim or even keyframe effects and changes in opacity.
By selecting a video clip, a few extra buttons appear above the timeline, showing what functions are available to perform with it. As with the capturing menu, there aren’t a zillion buttons crowding every toolbar and window. Each track can also be locked, resized or temporarily turned off. This keeps all the files separate and easily modifiable. The timeline has tracks for video, audio, effects, titles, and voice-overs. Captured clips and imported files appear in the library pane. The editing area is composed of three main areas: the library, preview pane and timeline. Seeing the available length of a video capture at seven days, or the microphone audio capture at 40 days is pretty cool all by itself. The interface is simple, there’s a handy record button and a pie chart showing the amount of drive space available.

When the software detects an input, the icon lights up and it’s ready to record.
CYBERLINK POWERDIRECTOR 9.0 TV
The software captures from MiniDV and HDV camcorders, TV signals, webcams, microphones, CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs and AVCHD camcorders. CyberLink made PowerDirector 9 simple to get started editing. There are four buttons that easily traverse the workflow across the top of the main area: Capture, Edit, Produce and Create Disc. There’s no obligatory dialogue that pesters you as to what kind of project you’re making either. There are no capture device setup, frame rates or timeline settings to puzzle over. After a simple installation, PowerDirector 9 starts up in the main window.
CYBERLINK POWERDIRECTOR 9.0 MANUAL
The manual has six chapters that clearly guide the user through the editing process, a hot key appendix and an ample index. Inside the box are a manual and an installation disc. A good place to start is CyberLink PowerDirector 9 Ultra64. Most beginners need a program that will serve as a first step into the world of video editing. Not easy, huh? Same thing goes for editing software, too.
Don’t believe it? Find a staircase and try jumping to every third step. Without that solid first foothold, it’s harder to reach the next one.
