In their own words
CyberLink PowerDirector
CyberLink PowerDirector is video-editing software for making videos with editing tools, creative effects and built-in stock media. Its Agentic Editor accepts plain-language requests to generate clips, clean footage, apply effects and add results to the timeline. That timeline supports multiple tracks, frame-accurate trimming, markers, snapping, ripple editing and keyframe controls. PowerDirector can transcribe footage, edit video from text, generate subtitles, synthesize narration and reduce unwanted audio noise. Its royalty-free stock library includes Getty Images and Meta Sound Collection media described as cleared for commercial and personal use. Exports can be optimized for YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and Vimeo; the Windows FAQ lists MP4, MKV, WMV and MPEG-2 formats, with output up to 4K. The free Essential version has no time limit, but restricts advanced AI tools and some export options. PowerDirector runs on macOS and Windows, with desktop and mobile apps. The listed plans include 50GB cloud storage with PowerDirector 365 and 25GB with PowerDirector 2027. The product information lists a 1996 founding year.
