CyberLink PowerDirector Ultimate 20

Cyberlink PowerDirector 20, or 365 for those going for the subscription option, is a powerful yet simple video editor, making it an ideal starting point for beginners. This video editor, now on its twentieth version, has reached a state that places it in our list of the best video editing software. This version comes with a selection of updates including AI-powered tools to make workflow faster.

One of the most excellent new features in PowerDirector is a multi-camera editing mode. It is a powerful system for creating video synchronizing, combining, and color matching clips shot from various perspectives of the same scene. Once that would only have been needed by studios, but now video blogging is becoming more sophisticated and often uses multiple cameras.

Chroma key masking has also been enhanced to allow you to select multiple color ranges for the mask in cases where the screen isn’t perfect. Rather than creating a complete mess of a stack on a single project timeline, you can work on one piece of a project and then incorporate it into a parent project. Beyond those headline features, PowerDirector 17 has quite a few other exciting upgrades, including integrated audio editing:
