PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What is PowerDirector?

PowerDirector is CyberLink's AI video editing software for Windows and macOS, also available as a mobile app. It combines an Agentic Editor that plans, generates, and edits from plain-language requests with AI creation tools for text/image-to-video, cinematic shorts, character motion swap, and music generation. AI editing handles object and background removal, enhancement, audio denoise, and auto reframe, while a precision multi-track timeline, keyframes, multi-cam, and color tools keep full creative control. Audio and speech features include voice profiles, auto captions, text-to-speech, and transcription-based editing. A built-in royalty-free stock library, transitions, and animated titles support fast social and YouTube production. A free Essential version is available, with PowerDirector 365 subscriptions and a one-time lifetime license for advanced AI features and stock access.
