Novices and advanced users alike will find something to love in CyberLink’s PowerDirector 7. It has enough visual clues to help beginners get started while giving advanced users a no-frills, straightforward editing suite. Installation takes just 10 minutes and additionally installs the high-def movie player, PowerDVD. When you start the program, you’ll be greeted by a familiar layout as well as “rooms” that function as tabs. While the reviewer noted that the icons aren’t easy to decipher, the keyboard shortcuts were included in an easy-to-find format. One of the crowning jewels of the PowerDirector 7 is the Magic Movie Wizard that instantly creates an edited video based on your media. The software, through an algorithm, automatically detects action scenes and close-ups and pairs them with the appropriate musical elements. The reviewer also noted that the PowerDirector 7 has more fun effects than other editing suites. While you can’t add a new basic video track, you can instead add multiple picture-in-picture tracks to do the job. All in all, CyberLink was able to create a well-balanced editing suite for video editors at any level with the PowerDirector 7.
