PowerDirector 15

This software allows the user to edit videos, including footage that has been recorded in 360 degrees. It gives the user many different options for editing their video and also allows you to add animated objects, effects, titles and transitions to 360-degree projects. But on top of that, it still functions with regular (non-360) video. It has new features like Blending Effects and Mask Designer, which let you blend video clips on different tracks and mask video with text and images, respectively. Another feature added in this version is support for 9:16 vertical video, which removes the black bars from clips shot in portrait orientation on a phone. Once the video has been edited, it can be produced as a file or uploaded directly to YouTube, Facebook or Vimeo.

Features:

• Special effects
• Animated objects
• Theme designer
• Blending effects

A key benefit is that the software is easy to use and handles 360-degree footage and 9:16 vertical video alongside regular clips.

This software is suitable for home users and enthusiasts who want an easy editor that still handles 360-degree and vertical video. Express Projects templates help build a finished video quickly, and higher editions add premium effects from NewBlue and proDAD. PowerDirector 15 was sold in several editions, such as Deluxe, Ultra and Ultimate, and it has since been replaced by PowerDirector 365, the subscription version from CyberLink.
