PowerDirector 10 is the world’s fastest video editing software! With a 2nd generation TrueVelocity rendering engine that’s faster than ever, along with the richest end-to-end 3D editing suite available, PowerDirector 10 is redefining digital video editing. 

Award-Winning Performance with TrueVelocity

The world's fastest video editor just got faster! Experience the mind-blowing video production speed of PowerDirector 10.

• Faster Rendering with TrueVelocity 2 – 2nd gen. native 64-bit video engine delivers even more rendering speed.
• OpenCL for Optimal Video Effect Speed -- Harnesses GPU power for greatly improved video effect speed.
• Intelligent Rendering with SVRT -- Analyzes an entire project, chooses best output profile for production speed.

Judged the fastest consumer video editor by PC Pro*, PowerDirector has stayed ahead of the opposition by re-engineering its video rendering engine to provide even faster and more efficient video production.

Leveraging both hardware and software technologies to speed up video processing, PowerDirector 10 harnesses system GPU power via OpenCL for incomparable effects rendering speed, while a brand new H.264 media encoder rapidly processes HD video.

TrueVelocity 2 - World's Fastest Video Rendering EnginePowerDirector is the world's first native 64-bit consumer video editor, enabling improved system efficiency and faster loading of HD video footage. Already the fastest editor on the market, the latest version of PowerDirector introduces rendering engine innovations that take video processing speeds to new heights.

To the range of TrueVelocity technologies that improve previewing, effects rendering, format conversions, and outputting of videos, PowerDirector 10 has added OpenCL support, an enhanced HD video encoder and a patented Intelligent SVRT technology to help users to produce better videos in less time.

OpenCL Support for Optimum Hardware Acceleration
OpenCL is the latest technology aimed at utilizing the full potential of system GPU and CPU power. Added into PowerDirector's new TrueVelocity 2 rendering engine, OpenCL harnesses the power of your system’s Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and applies it to 48 video effects, greatly improving the speed of the editing process.

Intelligent Video Rendering with SVRT
Complex calculations done for you! Intelligent Smart Video Rendering Technology (SVRT) analyzes an entire project to assess the types of media and formats used, then selects the best output profile for optimal production speed.

Once the output profile is chosen, your video is rendered in the shortest possible time using patented1 SVRT technology that recognizes the portions of a movie clip that have been modified and only renders those portions during production and not the entire clip.

New Generation H.264 Encoding
Thanks to an enhanced H.264 software encoder, PowerDirector 10 is up to 38% faster than PowerDirector 9 at rendering 1080 HD video clips. This means that even if your PC doesn't have the latest CPU/GPU hardware, rapid video rendering speeds are still within reach

Editor's Review

CyberLink PowerDirector 9 Ultra is a comprehensive video editing and enhancement software specifically designed for professional video editors and home users alike. This incredibly versatile visual utility suite can be used to create, edit, and compile original videos equipped with music, voice-overs, special effects, transition effects and more. Cyberlink has impeccably designed a useful program that transforms mediocre clips and full-length videos into brilliant compilations and vivid high definition masterpieces.

Each and every project created in CyberLink PowerDirector 9 Ultra is enhanced with the patented TrueTheater technology, which noticeably improves video resolution, corrects minuscule playback errors by editing the media in slow motion, and even adds surround sound to each media item automatically. This patented TrueTheater technology also corrects common production errors, such as poor lighting, strong backlighting, and bad white balance.

A newly added feature that is particularly worthy of mention is the one-of-a-kind Zoom In Cut feature, which offers one of the most precise trimming tool in the industry. Users can now create incredible videos with very little effort due to the revamped interface and new selection of automated tools. With CyberLink PowerDirector 9 Ultra Video enhancement and creation has never been easier.

Once the media is created, it can then be shared quickly and easily, either via email or via internet upload to popular social sites such as YouTube or Facebook. Alternatively, users can export the media directly to DVD, Blu-ray or watch it on their iPhone, PSP, Xbox, or Xbox. The software cna export to all stanbdard media formats, as well as the following HD formats - AVCHD, H.264, MPEG-2 HD, and WMV-HD.

Aside from creating their own masterpieces, users can also enhance ordinary media to colorful HD quality with state-of-the-art video enrichment technology. Users can even add incredible effects to their favorite movies, such as floating captions, with no scripts required. This feature can give your movies a narrative theme that enhance the overall entertainment value of them.

Although the software is extremely capable and feature-rich it does not consume an exuberant amount of system resources. This year's edition has been redesigned to optimize GPU and CPU usage, producing videos up to five times faster than other video enhancement and editing software. In fact, PowerDirector 9 Deluxe is the first video enhancement software to be fully optimized for Intel Core i7, ATI Stream and NVIDIA CUDA technology.

CyberLink PowerDirector Ultra: What We Liked

Video enhancement is an automated process that only requires the selection of a few user preferences.

Exporting and/or sharing media is an extremely simple and convenient process.

Correcting video flaws was simpler than one would expect, as the software seems to find these flaws automatically and correct them without instruction.

CyberLink PowerDirector Ultra: What We Didn't Like

Although the software is faster than most other video enhancement software, it does use quite a bit of memory when used extensively.

Users can find a plethora of helpful information, ask questions and share information at the online forums, download software updates, view Frequently Asked Questions, and receive technical support via phone or email.
