The unique View Designer enables you to use 360° video footage in standard video projects: it's like you've filmed a scene with multiple cameras from multiple angles. Pro-style Movies in Minutes with Express Projects Express Projects is the fast, easy way to quickly create professional-quality videos in three simple steps: open Express Projects from the PowerDirector launcher and import you videos; drag’n’drop the clips you want into the beginning, middle and end segments of the project; then produce your video and share it instantly with friends and family on social media. Easy as Pie! Vertical Video like a Pro! With so much video now being shot vertically on mobiles, PowerDirector has added a new design mode that lets you upload mobile video for YouTube and Vimeo by getting rid of those empty black bars! And now, Orientation Smart Video Rendering Technology (SVRT) makes video production faster by analyzing your project and rendering only segments of footage that have been modified regardless of the clips' orientation. Action Camera Center, now even Better! PowerDirector's new Action Camera Center is a toolkit for every extreme video maker. Create stop-motion videos, add zoom and pan effects, stabilize video, correct distortions like fisheye, correct color problems and apply slow motion, freeze frame, zoom, or even “rock’n’roll” your videos! The results will be breathtaking, full of action and adrenaline. Video Blending Merge clips on different timeline tracks to create a huge array of eye-catching effects that will bring unique impact to your videos. Working like a pro has never been easier, more intuitive! Industry-leading Rendering Speed and Format Support The new TrueVelocity 6 rendering engine is a 64-bit powerhouse offering smoother previewing and significantly faster production than other consumer video editing software. And PowerDirector allows you to enjoy the latest and greatest formats and codecs like 4K UltraHD, AVCHD 3D/Progressive, XAVC-S and H.265. High Frame-Rate Video Editor Import 120/240fps slow motion footage from your iPhone, GoPro or other action sports cameras, or download videos directly from YouTube or Vimeo with Social Media Download.
