Ever thought about directing your own movie? How about having all the creative
controls and being in charge of the entire editing and post-production process? Well,
today’s computing technology has made all this possible for anyone who has
recording devices, capture devices, a computer, and of course, the sensational new
software application, PowerDirector.
Admittingly, video editing software is not without its drawbacks. Since the advent of
computers and its incredible growth in usage and processing speed power, video
editing software applications have taken off to astronomical heights. Yet, a great
inherent limitation, such as requiring a huge amount of disk space because of the
raw video data it captures, still remains. This is why many still choose to edit with
analog devices.
What makes PowerDirector the megastar of its industry in one quick flash is its
ability to save precious producing time because of its Smart Video Rendering
Technology (SVRT). No additional compression nor decompression is required
when producing scenes with MPEG or DV AVI formats that do not contain effects,
which saves you huge amounts of time compared to our competitors that compress
and decompress the entire movie regardless!
