PowerDirector: AI Video Editor Reviews

by Angela Loves Uni

Ok so I got PowerDirector I love the new update I really like the new stickers, easy to use. but when I did a test, it blocked my video the media was not found. So I was very sad but I’m not judging, or trying to be rude. But I was..And this was when I gave it the last chance. To not block my video, but..its not change science 2 years ago, So I would want some Changes to not block your media. But keep the updates uploaded, The only change I want is to not block your media/Photos. If you could you don’t have to. :) it’s just fine! You don’t have to do that I think I started using it when 2017 I think and I really liked it, but 10 months ago I did vlogs inside, The house. But it was private so don’t try to ask the user 😅. And it blocked it. Black but it’s ok, so that’s the only problem I want you to change remember you don’t have too. And thx for reading!

So happy I paid $40 for this... not. I’ve had nothing but issues with lag on every single thing I do. For example, I go to split a clip & it freezes for a good 8 seconds before it actually clips it. Try to undo that? Another 8 second freeze. Now it crashes and kicks me out whenever it feels Ike it. OH ALSO! It will delete your clips & say it’s because you deleted the media off your phone when you never did. Literally anything I do, it freezes. PowerDirector is trash, don’t waste your money.

UPDATE! App still continues to lag if you try editing a video over 10 mins in length. I’m coming on here to update this review because this happened just now while trying to use app again.

AS I WAS EDITING, (which mind you has a good amount of splitting both video & voiceover recordings from my mic and being sure they match up in sync perfectly.. A LOT of effort put into this) the media goes red MID CUT & says it cannot be found... the media is still on my phone like it was when it initially pulled it. Ruined & Ridiculous! It’s just so unfortunate that you pay for an app like this with all it has to offer... and you implement multiple things like music/video/text/voiceover and it can’t even keep up with using all of them without such lag.

PowerDirector is supposed to be compatible with my ipad pro, but the chroma key is not available. I bought PowerDirector primarily for the chromakey. I have other movie making apps that I like as well, all I need is basic editing. I really wanted to explore a little more with chromakey and its ability to mask and blend, but the chromakey feature is NOT AVAILABLE as indicated.

The timeline feature is annoying. If you have ever used CyberlinkPowerdirector desktop version, it is a little bit different. I wouldn’t say it is a lot better. Each version has its ups and downs. So far, I am not completely satisfied with either of them. Each has features that are annoying to use. The videos make it seem so simple but it really isn’t. In order to add a layer, I’d have to add the content in order. If I were to add it after I had already made adjustments and edit the footage, I can’t just add content without everything getting moved and adjusted out of the order I previously placed them. Too bad I paid for the whole year instead of just trying it out for the month. I want a refund!

This is my second time getting it and every time I open it it says it’s too old or something and it says on PowerDirector Store that it is compatible for my device. I am a gachatuber and i’m currently using KineMaster because I don’t know how to use cute cut and I want to see how PowerDirector works can you please fix this? I am trying to make an animation meme and KineMaster isn’t working and again I don’t know how to use cute cut.I am on an iPhone 6 and it won’t work. I don’t know the order of the dates they came out😅. Either way i’m just going to give it 3 stars Incase you fix this bug (or whatever it is).have a nice day/evening!

Ok so you start off good. As usual we have tutorial and you start off good. You can add text and videos and photos and others like that and that’s good. I’m starting off really good but I have seen a thing that needs to be fixed. I bet everyone has thought about this. It would be nice to add some transitions to it because all you see is a plain transition. If you have already did this than thank you. I gave this rating a 3 star because no transition and like the others say, kind of laggy and to much adds. Tip in adds unless it’s online. If there are adds than its best to turn off your WiFi. If it’s online than the creator needs to get rid of adds. Thank you for making this game! I’m impressed as always for other games. I bet everyone enjoys it and has problems with all apps including the best apps. I’ll make sure to review again on this to see how it is now.

This works well for what it does on mobile. I did have a lot of wasted time scrolling and I deleted files from photos to make space to download the finished edit. Then PowerDirector said that some files had gone missing been renamed or removed access. So the files that I brought into PowerDirector have to stay in Photos in order to produce the edited video. That’s fine except I spent tons of time down converting them into PowerDirector and it didn’t tell me this fact ahead of time. I spent hours more RE-downloading the clips from the could back into photos and then RE- down-converting them into PowerDirector then recutting them into the finished edit (which alters the timeline for audio overdubs needed for a cooking video) then realigning all the ADR and effects.... hours of wasted time due to PowerDirector not saying up front what was needed.

So let’s start off, when I first moved to this app and claiming it to be my main editing app. For about the first month or 2 it was going good, but then weeks after I bought premium I started experiencing some issues with PowerDirector . #1 Sometimes if I’m looking for a Sound Effect or Adding new clips to a project or go to the main screen of PowerDirector , all sounds and music would then become corrupted in the project. 2. It’s super laggy, and yes my phone works fine, I’ve checked stuff like this ever since I first got an IOS Device. It’s been bugging me cause I payed money for this just for it to not work at all, if any developers are out there, please respond with some type of help.

I’ve been using this app for a super long time and it’s always been amazing! But recently when I make a video and finish it, everything gets deleted within a couple days. Even today when I was making one video I added an audio and when I came back to continue editing, the audio was deleted and I had to restart. I don’t know if this just a glitch and it’ll go away in a bit or what. I want to continue using PowerDirector (mostly because I can’t find anything better to use) but I don’t want to loose all of my videos. I had a lot of videos that I deleted all the footage of and I can’t remake anymore.

This editor is great for both beginners and professionals, there’s many options and many tools to play with, however there’s also many glitches that make editing a way longer process. Sometimes, the audio disappears half way through editing and the only way to fix it is to scroll all the way back to the beginning of your project and play it to get the audio back. There’s also lag spikes that occur in between videos. I make music videos with PowerDirector so it’s a bit of a nuisance having to deal with these issues, but other than that this is a great video editor and I highly recommend you try it 👍

So..when I first downloaded PowerDirector I’ve had no problems literally no problems but after this update I’m having lots of problems..it’s like every time I download a video or a picture on my phone and I’m trying to transfer it to PowerDirector it won’t let me, instead it’ll say “media not found check your library to see if it’s downloaded” something like that and it’s really starting to aggravate me..mind fixing this problem? If not then ima just have to drop PowerDirector for another one :/ I know I could’ve done it after the update but I just love PowerDirector ya know it’s good for editing but..not anymore..😐

by Coconut Party26

This is a really great app, it’s legit a pro editing app! It’s sooooo cool, but at the same time it’s not.
I am a YouTuber so I need to find like THE best editing apps, so I’ll also ask my friends if they know any that may be able to help, so one of my friends told me about this, so I downloaded it, and it was reallyyyy good👍 But then, I found out that it’s a 40 dollars a MONTH app🙄🙄🙄 like honestly, I’m sick of games having that thing where you have to pay every month, or even every week, it’s driving me nuts🥜 because there are AWSOME edits on here that I could use, but it does not work because of the premium thing.
If you REALLY need the money, then either make it so that PowerDirector is like 40 dollars (OR LESS!), or make it so that PowerDirector is free, but to buy everything is like 40 dollars (OR LESS), because this won’t get you money if people buy it, because think of it; there are people out there in the world that can’t afford a lot of stuff, but may want these apps, so all I’m asking is that you get rid of the premium thing, and make something else on here cost money, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSE!!!!!

I love using PowerDirector , it’s almost perfect for the things I do. Make a few tweaks and I’ll drop 5 stars. 1st is the price, it’s a little pricey for the premium edition, I know you guys have to recognize that, a few transitions and sticks don’t justify the price to me. Make some real changes and I would gladly pay $40 a year. I would like to see 3 things added.
1, controls so you can change the pitch and tone of voices on video you create.
2, some filters so you can kinda hide your face a bit. I know that’s a strange request but I do Indy wrestling and I wear a mask, so I would like to make a video and be able to add something to hide my face, if that makes since to you guys.
3, blank title blocks, no design, no nothing, just a blank screen so you can add text to.
That’s it. Think you guys can pull that off, if you can, I’ll buy the premium. Thanks

I love using PowerDirector to edit my videos, and it is super easy to use. Everything is easy to find and the amount of things you can do without paying is just awesome. But there's one small problem. Audio. The audio has so much lag and glitches. Sometimes the sounds don't play, sometimes it plays only a couple milliseconds of the sound, sometimes the sound is delayed. These are problems that I wish could be fixed, because it really makes it hard for me to add sound effects to my videos. If you could do something about it that would be awesome, and for now, it's just going to be 4 stars from me. But again, it's a great app, so I recommend it to anybody looking for an editing software.

Hey just to start off I love PowerDirector and I am so happy that you put it on iOS! I make gacha life videos and I personally think that power director makes my videos so much better. The first think I don’t really like is the watermark. I’m just a kid so I can’t pay like 40 dollars a year for the premium membership, so I would like it if you could be able to remove the watermark for free. The second weird thing is that when I try to add a picture or something it says like “unable to place video/picture see if it is in your library” and I do check my library and the picture/video is there so I’m a little confused I really want to know what’s up with that it might be sort of a bug or something and I just want to know if you can maybe get rid of that. But other than that I LOVE PowerDirector I would really recommend PowerDirector. Bye and keep up the good work!

✌🏻❤️

by LL..,,__

The thing is I love everything about PowerDirector it’s awesome and super reliable,but the thing is the watermark along with other apps it just covers part of the video so I wanted to ask a suggestion maybe in the future (if you guys want to of course) could you make us watch maybe ads and just make the watermark free for 24hrs until we watch ads again, you guys don’t have to of course but it’s a small suggestion since lots of people who can’t afford to pay use PowerDirector, anyways keep up the good work👏🏻

I am a rail and train photographer, and after a day of Railfanning (train spotting) I need to edit my videos. With PowerDirector, it allows me to save videos that are insanely long. I haven’t had to edit a video longer then 30 minutes, but PowerDirector will definitely let you save fully edited videos that are longer then 30 minutes. It is a simple editor to use and does the trick other editing apps can do, but allows you to save videos 5X the length other apps allow you to save. If you need a editor to edit and produce videos with a great outcome, Get PowerDirector!!

by Oldschoolme

I wasn’t able to to see your reply but here’s what I have to say about it now that I stoped PowerDirector from kicking me - and I know I said I would give 0 stars but now I found out why I ketp getting kicked but when that does happen can you still be able to save progress I made when I edited because that will be great and please make somethings free because they look cool but I gotta buy :( But it’s good app use a lot to edit my videos and skits and do you have face tracking or video tracking to blur things out? So ima give it 5 stars now but if I can give you 10 I would keep up the good work I know your making PowerDirector better for people to use

by Jay Carpenter

I am a professional video editor and have had Power Director among my editing tools for many years. I have longed for a version for my iPad but only recently it has become available. There is a free version good for quick edits and posts. Now there is pro version available month to month as you need it. It is not the same as the one on your PC. That's good. It is optimized for your relatively small screen but has tools for editing, filtering, transitioning, titles and more that are all top notch. The edits are smooth and the renders are quick and pro quality. If you've been frustrated trying to edit a project on your IPad while traveling, then give this a try. You will be delighted.

PowerDirector is actually very cool, everything seems to work fine. Though the things that I do wish that it had are new accurate punching sounds and more swords basically more accurate action sounds, I don’t like that the punching sounds, sounds kinda cartoony, if you guys can add a more cooler/ accurate punches and kick or any related to combat that would very much be helpful, and if you can add some spider man web effects please 🙏🏻? I am trying to make a short film I am 19 years old and I really hope that you guys can add more cool things on PowerDirector, if you guys are looking forward to editing and filming PowerDirector is a very great app to start with. Thank you so much for taking your time to read this and I hope you can add more combat/ action related stuff and web effects that would really help a lot 🙂have a great day!

Okay so people are super hating on this thing but I’m going to use it and tell you guys what I think about it after. Me and my best friend make videos for just each other nonstop we are always doing it and my friend told me I should try to get to her level of editing (which is AMAZING) so recently I have been downloading many editing/animation apps to help me. We mostly make Gacha Club (used to use Gacha Life) videos so it’s hard to make the characters actually move well, and my friend CAN DO IT OMG SHES SO GOOD! Also if you are the friend I’m talking about you will know it by this: œŃīøÑ.
Final words of wisdom: heavy œŃīøÑ is good œŃīøÑ.

I spent 4 hours editing a video. Everything was going perfect. Then, after trying to add a 1 second slo-mo scene, the entire thing crashed. Every time I tried to get back in, it crashed. Had to delete and reinstall and not I’m going to spend another 4 hours editing, forgetting about the Slo Mo scene obviously. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED

by Fryffbg

The editor is way too laggy when I put a lot of pictures on it and it freezes up. Fix this please.

by Eteled13232

When I first got on this it told me that it doesn’t actually support my iPad it’s kind of unfair so, it could have got 5 star if PowerDirector wasn’t even being a idiot

The only problem is that you can’t use your own music. You either use their music or you have to convert a non copyrighted music with a converter. This is the only problem, but I like everything else

by YaBoyyJohn

Just add the option for downloaded music and PowerDirector would be good

by OmgItsElsa

So I downloaded the music I wanted in my device (iPhone) but no “download music button no where can you put a “downloaded music button I would really appreciate it

by An Unsatisfied Reviewer

I use an iPhone and I cannot find my downloaded music...

by Idontlioeeggs

It’s the same except the purchase. I just want to remove the watermark and not pay monthly or yearly because I just edit for fun. Not the same as android but better I guess.

by Simulacra Emey

I save like all my stuff on my files to use for projects but I can’t in power directer

by Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeechel

I’m glad I found PowerDirector now I can make as many Gacha life story ever thank u for making PowerDirector

by Krishna574

Literally the same power director you know & love.....but now faster and even faster rendering time!

by Chocolate Banannah 🍌🍌

I love PowerDirector an you can make great edits with this and cool effects butttttttttttt if you use KineMaster and PowerDirector to make one video it’s literally the best edit you can ever make 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

by The Junk Chub

I think there should be sound effects that come with PowerDirector . For example, frog sounds and motorbike passing sounds! Please and thank you!

by Cookieredpanda707

This game is great I use it a lot and I personally love it but one time I was playing it and it was very very slow i hope you can fix that and it has music problems

by GACHA PANDA BRO

It’s very good but how do you add your own music on it like “bad guy”
