It has the best functionality for switching to a computer to finish editing your work from mobile i.e. cloud save options. > > **Cons**: It lacks the portrait format for many mobile users or those who prefer using an upright editing solution. > > I have used this program on and off for the past 4 years. It used to a lot more for the price I paid however its sister app ActionDirector seems to be more compatible for many users so it was a no brainer for me to start looking at other software. ----- ### "This is an awesome, inexpensive software" — 4.0/5 > **Jared** | *14 October 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use. It is inexpensive and there are a lot of features > > **Cons**: Some times is boggs down or gets glitchy and I have to shut it down and start over. > > I use it all the time for making youtube videos ----- ### "The worst customer experience from any company." — 2.0/5 > **Noam** | *26 July 2023* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Some, quite frankly I'm so turned of by the terrible experience that I'm unwilling to say anything positive. > > **Cons**: I attempted to purchase a monthly Powerdirector 365 plan for my computer. I don't have a credit card so used my visa debit to attempt to purchase, I got an error that it couldn't process even though I had more than enough money in the account. I assumed this was a result of your system not being able to process visa debit card payments so I asked my boss if I could use her credit card to make the purchase as it was for business. She agreed but suggested we purchase the year long subscription to save money. I did so and the card was successfully charged. The reference code for this order was 395247292.I then checked my banking and saw that my card was charged twice for the monthly subscription (this is in addition to my boss having already paid for the year long subscription, all on the same account). I contacted cleverbridge, your payment processing company, and was able to get them to reverse the 2 monthly charges (after many many many attempts) while leaving the charge for the yearly plan alone so I kept access to the premium features. This all happened only a few months ago. I have now lost access to Powerdirector 365 and only have the free version. In the purchases section of my account I only show a monthly subscription which has expired. ----- ### "PowerDirector : The Best Video Editor Software for Beginners" — 4.0/5 > **Matt** | *13 November 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is intuitively user-friendly, highly functional, and you get excellent quality. The mobile app is my go-to video editor when I am on the go and when I want to edit and send something quickly. I am also able to import, export and edit 4K videos which is a huge plus. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it's difficult to trim voice-over clips accurately, making it difficult to synchronise audio and video. Also, render preview can be slow; it takes a lot of time. Other than that, everything is impressive for a beginner. > > Quite an impressive experience. I love the mobile app; it makes me productive when I am on the go. I can count a thousand times that PowerDirector had helped me when I needed a quick and easy way to edit my videos. PowerDirector also offers a vast range of tools, and I could download packs - special effects, titles, background music, and cool AI Style Packs. ----- ### "PowerDirector - A Wonderful Software Editing System Unless it Crashes" — 4.0/5 > **Alphonsus** | *12 September 2019* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the friendly user interface to seamlessly go from folder to folder to set up my timeline. I felt that the words were bright enough for me to read and that the organization options have great default settings. This gave me more incentive to not have much setup involved outside of the usual importing of videos. > > **Cons**: There was a crash or two in the software during editing. The progress was last updated when I first updated it, which negated an hour or two of work that I have put in. I thought there would be more updates as to its recovery feature, but no use. > > I for the most part enjoyed using PowerDirector when editing videos. It has been a blast and sometimes a struggle with having to recuperate work lost. Regardless, this is a great entry video editor for anyone that is looking to get involved with the craft. Just got to get used to the rare crash, which is a part of every video editor's bane. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2049704/powerdirector?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2049704/powerdirector) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
