It’s now possible to unlink a video from its soundtrack and edit them independently. You’ll not only benefit the latest software rendering engines, but you can also address more than 3.5GB of memory.Ĭyberlink has also addressed some of the limitations that made PowerDirector 8 unsuitable for demanding users. It is compatible with 32-bit Windows, but we’d strongly recommend that even casual videographers should make the upgrade. These improvements stem from a move to 64-bit code, so you’ll need to be running a 64-bit version of Windows to get these benefits. Version 9 is also much faster at rendering we saw 1080p AVC export times fall to around 40 per cent of version 8 speeds. Increasing the resolution inevitably increases the processor load, but it still managed four streams at 1280x720. More significantly, previews are no longer limited to 640x360 pixels, and now come in five sizes up to 1920x1080. We were able to play eight simultaneous AVCHD streams on our Core i7 860 test PC, up from seven in the previous version. The table below indicates the ability of each program to import various High Definition video or High resolution video formats for editing.PowerDirector already excelled for preview performance, playing complex projects without dropping frames.
