PowerDirector 5 Video Editing Software

One of the latest technology-driven trends is to transfer home videos from VHS to DVD. However, the archaic recording technology used on classic camcorders provides images that do not do justice to the clarity of the DVD format. CyberLink’s PowerDirector 5 is a video editing software that can steady the dizzying effects of wiggling camera movement and can clarify unfocused pictures.

Through the use of the application’s “magic tools,” the user can easily edit videos and add cool features and effects into their captured movies. Titles and music can be injected into the film at the click of a button. “Smart Captions” can be added into the corner of your shot to detail the location and time of your footage. Sections from different movie files can be spliced together to create a beautiful film worthy of the DVD format. The final product of the movie can also be put into formats for playback with an iPod or Sony PSP. Quite simply, PowerDirector 5 gives you the tools you need to edit your videos and make them look as good as possible.

The program is compatible with next-generation formats, including high-definition and 16:9 widescreen format, allowing you to create movies that will look beautiful even on the newest HDTV.
