The Power Tools tab lets you reverse, crop, rotate, adjust speed for your video and even convert 2D to 3D. The Trim tab accesses the trim window while Fix/Enhance gives you the ability to work with lighting, stabilization and noise adjustments as well as enhance your video’s white balance, sharpness and color properties. Motion paths and masks may also be applied. The Modify tab displays the PiP Designer, allowing you to adjust a number of properties such as chromakey, shadow, border, 3D settings, opacity and more. Clicking the Split tab does exactly that – it splits, or cuts, the clip at the point where the current time indicator is placed. Once imported, simply drag and drop the clip onto the timeline and a series of tabs appears. The media room has options for importing files and folders from internal or attached drives or content from the Internet.Īlong the left margin of the media room are a series of tabs for accessing other “rooms” where specific editing tasks take place: effects, PiP (Picture-in-Picture), particle effects, titles, transitions, audio mixing and voice over recording. Edit accesses the media room, preview window and timeline areas.

When choosing Capture, PowerDirector detects any attached capture devices and readies them for action. Upon opening, four options appear at the top left of the application: Capture, Edit, Produce and Create Disc. Current users of PowerDirector will have no difficulty adjusting to the new version, and new users will find the learning curve to be quite gentle, particularly with the host of learning resources available to them.
