PowerDirector

PowerDirector is CyberLink's video editing application for Windows and macOS, pairing a conventional multi track timeline with a large set of AI tools. Its recent addition is an agentic editor: you describe the video you want in plain language, and the software plans the cut, selects clips, writes narration, syncs music and hands back an editable timeline rather than a finished file you cannot change. It suits creators and small teams who want automation without giving up frame accurate control. Generative tools create original clips, animate stills, build characters and produce background music inside the editing workflow. Repair tools remove objects and backgrounds, stabilize shaky footage, lift dark exposure, denoise audio and reframe an entire project for vertical and square placements. Audio and speech work covers voiceover generation, transcription and editing by text, captions and multilingual versions. The timeline keeps keyframes, masks, multi camera sync, color matching and ripple editing, and the subscription bundles a large royalty free asset library with cloud storage. Three options are published. PowerDirector 2027 is a perpetual license at $139.99 with core AI and generative features but no monthly updates. PowerDirector 365 is a subscription listed at $79.99 for twelve months, adding premium AI agents, monthly feature and content updates, 1,200 generative credits issued at 100 a month and 50 GB of cloud storage; a monthly plan is also offered. Director Suite is listed at $149.99 for twelve months and adds the companion photo and audio editors. Two notes on the prices. CyberLink localizes them and lets you switch the displayed currency among several, so what you see depends on your region, and it discounts these amounts during promotions that carry end dates.
