CyberLink Media Suite 8 has something for all occasions when it comes to editing videos. MediaShow 5 offers a range of easy, often single-click features for editing videos fast. Meanwhile, PowerDirector provides advanced features for creating more sophisticated video productions using a timeline editing environment.

1-Click Fixes for Videos

It's not easy to take the perfect shot every time, but you can fix your videos to make them look even better. MediaShow 5 enables a number of enhancements you can apply with just one click.

The new Edit Log keeps track of the changes you have made, and you can compare changes with the original version. You can reset your video to its original condition at any time, or apply all the modifications you've made to a batch of other videos.

Advanced HD Editing

PowerDirector lets you create high-quality, high-definition projects from captured HD videos and photos. Import from a broad range of capture sources—such as HDV camcorder, TV or web cam—then drag your content to your timeline. There you can edit your clips and add effects, transitions, title sequences and more. Finally, output to a format of your choosing.

PowerDirector's Adjustable Workspace

PowerDirector 8's new workspace is more flexible—simply drag to resize. Hone in on specific tasks such as organizing your media library, previewing current clips, or making subtle refinements to timeline effects. Edit in full-screen mode or in a minimized window. PowerDirector automatically scales your workspace panes to fit the size you want to work at.

Precise Editing, Better Quality Videos

PowerDirector 8's Zoom-in Cut™ gives you greater control over the editing process by allowing the insertion of edit points down to a single second. Meanwhile video cropping lets you focus on key video content. Other new video editing features include the quality-enhancing video de-noise and 1-click video rotation.

Proxy Video Editing

PowerDirector 8 improves the video editing experience when working with HD content. When you import HD files, PowerDirector creates lower resolution proxy files, allowing for faster previewing and more responsive editing by reducing CPU loading. PowerDirector then uses your original files to output your final production. You can choose to manually or automatically delete the lower resolution files after production.

Share Your Videos Anyway Way You Like

PowerDirector 8 offers heaps of flexibility in the way you enjoy your videos and share with others. You can upload videos directly to Facebook and YouTube. Or choose to output your video projects to a range of media players, including iPhone, Xbox, and PSP. You may prefer to preserve and share your productions by creating disc menus and authoring to a Blu-ray Disc or DVD. It's really up to you.

High Performance HD Video Editing and Conversions
