Hello and welcome to another product review. This time we have CyberLinks PowerDirect for the first product. This is the tool very quickly and I've got a project loaded so you can see the actual interface. These are the tracks for your video editing. Up here we have your media library, your FX, your picture in picture, your particle room, your particle room, your transitions, your audio mixer, your voice over and then you have a chapter and sub-title room for when you want to create your video DVD. Over here we have a capture which will bring up the webcam and allows you to capture direct from the webcam into the product. We have a produce which is what you would use to create the video. You can choose a safe example of format, you can choose the profile, different types, you can choose the video format for the disk. Again lots of so if I use AVC I can choose the type of output, so MP4, etc. Then here you can choose the fast video and rendering technology. If you have it on your card you have your doviditor, upload a copy of the sub-link preview and then over here you've got where the output is going to go to and you just select that. You can create a desk, what this does is it goes into a part of the tool that allows you to edit and create a video screen. You can choose menus, you can set it up to do that, you can actually type a disk that you want to output and so on. This is if you want to take your video that you've edited and just put it straight to a DVD, then go back to edit. Over on the right here you've got the app, so you get the mobile app, you've got the check to get updates and upgrades. Then you've got the director zone, the director zone is the biggest bestest part of the power director tools. What it is, it's a place where other users of power director upload their own created templates, for you to use for free. You can see you can actually go to any of these links and you can see somebody can buy and some of them are free as you can see all there. There's hundreds of stuff that's been going for many years, so there's hundreds and hundreds of things that are going on on that director zone. The biggest best part of power director. The tool itself to edit is very easy, what you would do is you'd select a video, you'd pull it onto the timeline and then you literally can just cut out bits by that you'd do. You can see the app that you want to connect from the tool and when you press the leads you can either remove the gap open, you can remove and fill the gap or you can remove and fill the gap and move all clips. If you have three or four clips over here and you fill the gap it would only move the clip closest from the right to the left and need gaps for the rest. That's a really easy quick way to move everything to the left. What you can also do if you remove it and if you cut away a bit too much you can actually just grab the video and you can pull it across and you can pull back the bit that you might have accidentally deleted. So the editing, the replacing and the manipulating the video is really easy, it's just literally delete and you can drag and you can, you know, if you've cut say a second too much off you can pull back that second so it's a really easy thing to do. You can also manipulate the elements such as the volume so if I move over to the right here, you can see here I have two separate clips. This one has a separate soundtrack. You can see I've manipulated the sound where I actually have a point where I actually start to go down. So it's very easy to manipulate things like that so you just just select them and you can manipulate the, using the tools to do that in the audio mix and etc. There we go. So you can actually manipulate the audio very easily. Over on the right here you've got the preview window so you can preview what the video looks like that you're editing. It's easy to use to cut out the bits you want or see what the final thing looks like. You can see that you can set markers and you can take a snapshot if you want to, have it in a 3D or 2D and then you can actually pull that out and move that window around. If you want to search for the text, you can see the media logo that you have there. You've got your plugins, if you want to add plugins. So for example, multi-cam design is there, theme design is there, screen record is there. Up the top here we have our preferences. So if you need to change any preferences within the tool, you have your aspect ratio so you can change it to 4B3 or 16 by 9 and do a reading save. And then in these links you have more or less everything you can do from the UI itself plus a couple of extra things. So you can like produce the movie, etc. edit more ways, you've got your magic tools which are also down here obviously. And again aspect ratio and so on, you can get the different views like picture and picture object rules that just literally manipulates this and sort by and zoom in. And then you've got your playback options there. Now as we saw if I go back to the video you've got a few different things you can do here like you can modify, you can fix and enhance. So these tools or this system has grown better each year. I started first using Pederator version 8 and you didn't have any of this great stuff compared to today. I mean it was still 32 bit there when it went to Ndumb and not version 9 it was then said to be the first 64 bit home consumer product. It kind of shows how they all was on the peak of the way of actually doing these things. But you can see there for example where you've got lights and adjustment lens correction, video stabilization, denoys, audio denoys and lots of enhancements you can actually do there. Just cancel that because otherwise it would take a while to go through that lot. So moving that away, coming back we can see here that I've actually been playing around with here and I've actually added some effects. And to add an effect is really easy. If you want to add effects to your video you literally just choose the effect and then you just drag it in. And then there you go the effect is added. All these effects you can add very easily by just dragging them into the part of the into the effects timeline apart. Along the timeline of the video that you want to drag it into affects the video is really easy to do. The same thing with that particle you know you want to add a bit of particle you just drag it onto the top of the timeline you want to add it to. And then we can see now. I've dragged it to. Let's just put that so you can see it. If we play that now we can see now the particles added is very easy to do. Very simple to add these things. So that's it. It's a great or by a company called Cyberlinks which have been around for many years. They do a number of different products but the power director is one of the kind of their four runners as it were. Used by many many people as I say there's a great community out there on director's own. The editing of the videos is really easy and simple to do. As you saw it's just literally you just choose parts that you want to change or edit or cut. You can cut and you can mip let's actually you know literally cut a bit out there. And then I can actually move that to the end if I wanted to. It's really easy to manipulate the timeline. And as I say at that point there because it's non destructive I can actually again pull out bits extra so I can double it up as it were. Really easy to edit and manipulate. One out of effects. You want to transition, you want to voice over just an option to choose. Really easy and simple to use. Great product. If you've been wondering what padwriter 14 is like hopefully this video is giving you an idea. I like it. I've always liked it. I use it as one of the tools that I use. I've used it for many years. The director's owner has given me many great free templates especially around Christmas and holiday time when you want to add those special kind of videos. It really does provide that and it's all free. It's all there provided for free. It literally just have to play through them and find the one you want downloading you use it. So guys thanks for watching. Hope you've enjoyed this video. I hope that this is fulfilled sort of things you want to see if you wanted to see what padwriter 14 was like. And any questions please leave a comment. Thanks for watching and I will catch you in the next video. Bye for now.
