CyberLink PowerDirector 21 Ultra Reviews

As a Traveler and beginner Youtube shorts maker, I bought this as a cheap starting point for a more serious editor then i was useing before. I knew going in that it wasnt a top of the line editor, but seemed decent enough for a beginner. Pros: -I have made many videos and cut frames from videos for pictures with this editor and it worked well, i am happy with the outcomes. The shortfalls in my videos are from me, not the editor. -Its pretty easy to use, has many tools to edit and add effects. -Doesnt take long to load/open -Has never had a issue with a file i try to add -Its cheap compared to the better editors Cons: -As others pointed out, the editor can crash/freeze and close. For me it seems to do it when ever i dont save edits for too long then it crashes. when i save project after every single edit (which you shouldnt have to do) it doesnt crash. But i have had it crash and cost me time to redo edits and it has crashed while rendering (i render short videos so not a big deal to restart but if doing a long video it could be fustrating) -It doesnt have a feature to automatically add sub titles/text to the words spoken. I think the next version up has it, but not this version. -It has alot of effects and things but i cant find a simple arrow or pointer clipart, i had to make my own. Overall its a good beginner editor, you can make good videos with it, if you can save your project often lol.
