New CyberLink PowerDirector 10 Promises Faster Performance
CyberLink's new PowerDirector video editing software has been designed with a variety of new features that enhance the movie making process, it is faster and includes new editing tools in addition to a comprehensive 3D editing suite.
Several new features include a choice of 3 different editing modes,
enhancements to a flexible 100-track timeline, automated beat detection,
integration of pro-quality plug-ins, animated painting tools, time lapse
controls, and free-form picture-in-picture video cropping tools.
