![]() But it won’t save your bacon if you haven’t. The keyer works, if you’ve lit your green screen halfway well. Some were apparently written outside CyberLink and ported in, though there’s not (yet) an open plug-in architecture in PowerDirector. They are not bad at all for the price, but you can’t search them efficiently. A lot of these lack a professional level of subtlety and are missing some desirable control handles (although a few auto-calculate how much footage lap is need to make them work well). You can choose from among 150+ transitions and 125+ effects. You can also use the more old-school approach of timecode synch, or even time-of-day if your cams are set-up accurately. Up to four sources, each on its own track, synchronize based on their audio. PowerDirector recently added support for MultiCam editing. I'm guessing you’ll grow tired of that quickly and jump back on the timeline.Īnd on that timeline, you can wrangle up to 100 tracks (not that you’ll use them all). The trouble is, it’s only thumbnails, butt-cut (where the end of one clip abuts the start of the next) together. It’s as simple as dragging and dropping clips depicted by thumbnails. PowerDirector lets you edit using an alternate Storyboard mode. But it’s not the only way to crochet a storyline. We old-fart editors tend to be very protective of our treasured timeline paradigm. It’s not artificially intelligent editing, but in this you can grab a glimpse of that future. Likewise, you can ask PowerDirector to Analyze Content for bits of action you may want to exclude (camera bumps and lighting blips) or specifically include (expressive people and dramatic pans or zooms). You’ll be keen on being able to drop multiple Ins and Outs on each source clip very cool for documentarians laboring to stitch-up a narrative from fly-on-the-wall footage or extended interviews. It's better, even, than a few big pro foundries like Avid Media Composer. But PowerDirector does this extremely well. In most editors, the scaling and scrolling of your workspace, to show what you’re actually working on, is frequently a bit dicey. Stepping into the adult (non-magic) Full Editor, you get an appealing timeline that’s easy to get around.
