An intuitive user interface that makes it easy to find the tools you’re looking for. What I Like: Incredibly quick and painless to learn the software and start creating basic videos.

However, if you endeavor to create high-quality videos for commercial use or have already taken the time to learn a more advanced video editing program, you’re probably better off sticking with competitors such as Final Cut Pro (Mac) or VEGAS Pro (Windows). Perfect for editing handheld videos (such as high school graduations and birthday parties) or creating slideshows to show to the family, PowerDirector does an excellent job of making the video editing process as painless as possible for users of all levels. If your priorities are to save time while creating your next home movie project, you’re exactly the kind of person that PowerDirector was designed for. CyberLink PowerDirector is intuitive (you’ll hear me say that word a lot), speedy, and amazingly user-friendly, but does not offer the same high-quality video editing tools that some of its competitors do.
