T he year 2016 is one filled with anticipation for Korean cinema fans. With an unusually large number of high-profile directors getting ready to release new films.

K video. What if you want to put together a compelling video story, complete with transitions, effects, and titles? For those things, the Power.

Director video- editing software is your best option. Not only does it handle the standard trimming, joining, and overlaying of clips and effects with great control, but it's often the first to support new standards, such as the H. Samsung Gear 3. 60. Power. Director's fast, powerful video- editing tools make it the prosumer video editing software to beat, even when pitted against bigger competitors. Pricing and Installation. Power. Director runs on Windows 7 through Windows 1. You can try out the software with a 3.

K. Two editions of the standalone video editor are available, the $9. Ultra and the $1.

Ultimate. The higher- end options add loads of third- party special effects, such as New. Blue's Video Essential 7 and pro. DAD Vita. Scene 2 LE. You can also get the complete suite for a subscription at $4. The pricing is competitive compared with that of Premiere Elements' $9. Corel Video. Studio's $9.

Mac Editors' Choice for video editing, Apple Final Cut Pro's $2. Installing the program takes up nearly a gigabyte of your hard drive, so be sure to use a machine with room to spare. I tested the Ultimate edition on my Asus Zen Ai. O Pro Z2. 40. IC running 6. Windows 1. 0. The installer no longer tries to add extra unrelated apps alongside the video editor, which makes me happy.

Interface. The program's user interface is about as clear and simple as a program with such a vast number of options can be, but it can still get overwhelming when you're deep in the weeds of fine- tuning video or audio effects. It's not quite as unintimidating as that of Adobe Premiere Elements.

You start off in a Welcome screen offering big button options of Full Feature Editor, Easy Editor, and 3. Additional choices include Express Project, Theme Designer, and Slideshow Creator—all self- explanatory. If you don't need or want all these choices every time you start the program, a simple .

On this welcome screen, you can also choose your video project's aspect ratio—1. The Power. Director editing interface maintains the traditional source and preview split panels on the top, with your track timeline along the whole width of the bottom of the screen.

The storyboard view is more than just clip thumbnails. You can drag transitions between clips, apply effects, and add audio clips without switching to timeline view. I also like the buttons at the top for showing just video, just photos, or just audio in the source panel. Four mode choices line up at the top: Capture, Edit, Produce, and Create Disc. The timeline is easy to customize and navigate, with a button for adding tracks. You're allowed up to 1. Sony Movie Studiolimits you to 2.

By default, you get three pairs of video and audio tracks, as well as effects, title, voice, and music tracks. You can lock, disable/enable view, or rename tracks from the left track- info area, and you can even use drag and drop to move them up and down on the timeline. Zooming the timeline in and out is also a snap, either with Ctrl- Mouse wheel or a slider control. Basic Video Editing. Power. Director makes it easy to fix lighting and color and to stabilize your video.

The stabilization tool gives you the ability to fix rotational camera shake. There's also an enhanced- stabilization mode, which taxes your PC more. I am disappointed that the effect doesn't let you know when it's done, and preview playback occasionally halted in my testing, but my final result was excellent. The tool also lets you adjust the crop factor that stabilization introduces. The trim tool allows precise control (down to the individual frame) with two sliders, and the multi- trim tool lets you mark several In and Out points on your clip—a useful tool for cutting out the chaff.

Some professionally trained video editors lament, however, that you can't do a rough trim on a clip before dragging it down into Power. Director's project timeline, as you can in Final Cut Pro X and Premiere Pro. You use Power. Director's unique and intuitive selection cursor to split video and delete sections. Fix/Enhance options also include video denoise, audio denoise, and enhancements to punch up color and sharpness. You can independently adjust the brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, sharpness, and white balance.

Assisted Movie Making. One of the best things to come to home video editors in recent years was pioneered by Apple with the Trailers feature of the Mac's included i. Movie app. Adobe recently added a similar tool, Premiere Elements' Video Story feature.

With either of these, you fill templates in with video and photo content that meets the needs of a spot in the production, such as Group shot, close- up, or Action shot. These are elaborated with transitions and background music that match your chosen theme. Power. Director has a similar tool, Express Project, which you can enter directly from the program startup panel. Express Project joins another similar tool, the Magic Movie Wizard, which takes you through five steps: importing source content, adjusting that content, previewing, and producing.

You get four Styles to choose from, including Memory Field, Original, Fast Motion, and Slow Motion, but you can download 2. Director. Zone. com, Cyberlink's Web resource site. Unlike the i. Movie tool, Power. Director requires you to add your own background music—there are no canned scores in the wizard or for Express Projects. There are nine Express Projects available for download, including Action, Extreme, Round the World, Wedding, Adventure, Anniversary, and Love. An Express Project only requires two steps: Dragging an Opening, Middle, and Ending onto the timeline, and filling the resulting clip tracks with your media. It's nowhere near as intuitive or clear as Apple i.

Tunes' Trailers feature or Adobe Premiere Elements' Video Story feature. But it does offer guidance in crafting a digital movie, it is actually more customizable, and the results look pretty cool. Working With 3. 60- Degree Footage. When you add a 3. Power. Director pops up a dialog box asking whether you want your output to be 3. D. If you choose the latter, the View Designer windows opens, which let you choose the resulting movie's point of view. You can move the angle around in this window's preview in three axes (x, y, and z) with the mouse pointer.

Clicking on up, down, left, and right, arrows alters your point of view, and clicking the center of the arrow control snaps the view to straight on. You can zoom the view, and very usefully, use keyframes to automatically switch from one viewpoint to another. That last option can take advantage of the Ease in option, which makes the motion more naturally accelerate and decelerate, rather than happening mechanically. For projects that you intend to output in 3.

Power. Director features you cannot use: Magic Movie, video cropping, stabilization, motion tracking, and content- aware editing, to name a few. You also cannot successfully mix non- 3. Adding titles and transitions is still possible, as is making color corrections, and time speedups and slowdowns. Once you've edited the content to taste, you output to H.

MP4 format, or you can upload directly to You. Tube or Facebook. The exporter lets you choose a privacy level and resolution, including 4. K as an option. Action Camera Tools. Power. Director can of course import and edit footage from Go.

Pro cameras, as well as from other action cameras from the likes of Sony, Kodak, and Ion. But the dedicated Action Camera Center under the Tools menu item appears when you select a clip. The Good Catholica (2017) Stream here. This offers things like camera- profile- based corrections for fisheye distortion, vignette, camera shake, and color.
