“Imaginative video editors want to work in a creative environment with innovative tools that deliver quality results fast,” said Alice H.

This incredible combination of user-centric improvements is the essence of PowerDirector’s powerful magic.”

- Enhanced CyberLink RichVideo™ technology, featuring Smart Captions
- Support for high-definition video

·Magic Style creates a finished movie from clips instantly and automatically. Users select a look and feel by applying one of 12 preset Magic Style templates. Each template contains a combination of effects, screen frames, and clip length. Effects are applied randomly, frames are applied sequentially, and clip length is determined using a smart video analysis algorithm. Users can choose to add and remove effects and frames on the timeline as desired.

·Magic Fix provides a quick-and-easy means of improving video and photo quality. Video Stabilizer compensates for jitters created by unsteady camera work. Red-eye Removal automatically detects faces and corrects red-eyes. Photo Re-focus improves the clarity of poorly focused photos by sharpening the edges of image objects.

·Magic Clean includes options for improving audio and video tracks and photos. New White Balance lets users correct the color temperature of their clips by adjusting the color balance to compensate for different lighting environments. Magic Clean utilizes second-generation CyberLink Eagle Vision (CLEV™) 2 technology to enhance the colors and brightness of photos and video, and now lets users adjust the levels of CLEV. Audio is improved with CyberLink Noise Reduction (CLNR™) technology.

PowerDirector 5 is available for USD 89.95/Euros 74.99 at the CyberStore.
