The second major addition to PowerDirector 12 is the Theme Designer, which helps you convert your movies and images into a custom 3D animated slideshow. Still, for the most part the MultiCam Designer works very well there’s plenty of power here, yet it’s still quite simple to operate.

The end result is a good mid-range editing tool, a significant improvement on MAGIX Movie Edit Pro (supports more cams, better performance and syncing) though not as natural as Final Edit Pro. And this applies even after you’ve clicked OK and your recording has transferred to the main timeline you can always reopen the sequence in the MultiCam Designer and adjust it to suit your needs. If you’re a few frames out then you can tweak your timing later to get it exactly right. Switching angle is then as easy as pressing a key (1-4), or clicking a pane. Once you’re happy, click Record and the source clips play simultaneously and very smoothly (no stuttering), one in each pane. Choose “Audio Analysis” and the program will sync the clips itself (and generally very successfully, in our first tests) it can also use video timecodes, or file creation times or you can manually add markers representing the same time point in each clip. As usual with multicam editing you must then synchronise your clips, and PowerDirector supports all the options you’d expect. PowerDirector’s version of this initially seems a little odd – it forces you to work in an entirely different dialog, not the main project timeline – but once you’ve learned the basics then it generally works very well.įour-source multicam editing is a major new featureĬlicking Plugins > MultiCam Designer opens a four pane window, where you can add your source clips (although only from the Media Room or your hard drive, not the timeline). Top of the “new features” list this time has to be the support for multicam editing, which helps you mix footage from up to four sources into a single video sequence. But there’s always room for improvement, of course – so what editing extras has version 12 brought us? We downloaded our review copy of PowerDirector 12 Ultimate, and took a closer look. Especially as that was only PowerDirector 11. But you can also configure a host of font and text settings, as well as setting up shadows, borders, reflections, adding a 3D effect, even applying one of 70 motion effects (scrolls, fades, wipes and more).Īnd once you’ve finished, a wide range of export options mean you’re able to save your project as a video file, burn it to DVD or Blu-ray, or upload the movie directly to Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo or Dailymotion.
If you want to add a caption to a clip, say, you could just enter the text. PowerDirector also allows a great deal of fine control over just about everything you’re doing. PowerDirector has plenty of advanced features, but is still easy to use
