We’d also advise you avoid the Deluxe version, because it lacks some of PowerDirector’s best features, such as the multicam editor. With an intuitive interface and an unrivaled feature set, PowerDirector delivers high-end performance editing for both. However, it’s also worth considering the Director Suite, which comes bundled with PhotoDirector 9, AudioDirector 8 and ColorDirector 6, providing a wider range of tweaks for serious editors. The Ultra version represents the best value for money. There are four different versions of PowerDirector 16 – Deluxe, Ultra, Ultimate and Director Suite. We found the default parameters needed careful tweaking so the volume changes don’t sound too abrupt, but it’s not hard to achieve good results and is much quicker than carrying out the task manually. This is where the volume of a music soundtrack can be set to automatically fill gaps in a speech audio track.

The core sound tools in the software now include ‘audio ducking’. You can select two clips and colour correct one so that it matches the other.

We were particularly impressed with the colour-matching tool, which is extremely useful if you have footage of the same subject from different cameras or settings. A collage designer has been added for creating rapid multi-clip opening sequences: you simply drag and drop the clips you want to use into the predefined slots, though you don’t get any control over how the clips are cropped. If creating virtual-reality films isn’t your thing, there are other useful new tools to explore. If your camera doesn’t do this itself, it should come with its own software, but it would have been good to integrate this process into CyberLink’s editing suite.ĪBOVE You can now stabilise jerky 360 video automatically so the point of view is smooth The one thing the software lacks is ‘stitching’ – the process by which footage from the various streams created by a 360-degree camera is brought together to make a fully 360-degree movie.

You can set which direction the viewer starts in, and extract a 2D view to use with standard footage.
