I have used several editing programs for computers that I use to edit some of the videos and some of the photos that I have taken. As I said, I had tried many editing software; this includes Apple’s FinalCut X, Adobe Master Collector’s CS, Affinity (often used on Macs), and many others. This editing program that I am reviewing is Cyberlink Director Suite 365, which contains most of the editing software you would need to edit your video, picture, audio, coloring, and a few more others. Cyberlink has been known for a pre-installed media player on most PCs for the last few years. Not many people realize that the Cyberlink company is also known for its multimedia editings software such as video or photo editing software unless they become curious about Cyberlink once they see the name of the media player pre-installed on new computers. After seeing Cyberlink’s name on a pre-installed media player on my desktop computer, I checked to see what Cyberlink is all about. I have come across several reviewers saying that Cyberlink editing software is one of the best except for Apple’s FinalCut X. I needed editing software for my Windows computers since the FinalCut can only be used on macOS operating system and window operating system computer is my daily driver. At the same time, my Macbook Pro is a combination of home and work laptops for me. After finding out that Cyberlink is a company that offers top-line editing software, I have decided to check as many reviews as possible and read many people’s feedback on Cyberlink’s editing software.
After a throughout reading online, many reviewers, technology websites, and others have put Cyberlink editing software as number one for the windows operating system. I was leaning forward to getting Adobe Premiere Pro because everyone knows that name. It has a reputation as one of the best video editing software and photo editing software such as Photoshop or Lightroom. I have had used Adobe editing software; I am actually the owner of Adobe Master Collection CS3 because I brought the software for over a thousand dollars when I was in college back in 2008. A few years later, after I was done with college, I really don’t use Adobe software for several years until a few years ago when I decided that I need to find some editing software for both videos and photos because I need them for my journalistic work. The problem was that the Adobe Master Collect CS3 is old, no longer supported by Adobe, and even Adobe has deactivated many owners who had them trying to encourage them to purchase the latest one, but this time we would have to pay for subscriptions instead of just one-time purchase.
To have all of Adobe editing software through subscription is about $52.99 a month, so that is too way expensive for me, so I need something else then. After doing an intensive reading through many reviews, recommendations, technology websites, feedbacks, and whatnot, I kept seeing CyberLink Director Suite 365 at the top of the list. Some have it in the first place while Adobe in third place, Final Cut X in second, and some with FinalCut in first place with Cyberlink in second place, so the consistency is there. I have ultimately decided to go for Cyberlink Director Suite 365, a subscription for all editing software for a lot cheaper than Adobe. Cyberlink only charges $99.99 a year, while Adobe charges $52.99 a month, so that is a great deal for top-line editing software.
Cyberlink Director Suite 365 includes yearly update for all of the software that it comes with, plus they also promote you to the top tier membership to get the most discounts for all of their future products and their renewals. The software that is included in their PowerDirector, which is actually a very advanced video editing software as the PowerDirector has many features that come with it, such as mask designer, keyframe controls, sketch animation overlays, motion graphic titles, color match, intuitive motion tracking, and many others. PhotoDirector also comes with many features, such as advanced layer editing, ai-powered deblur, photo animation, glitch effects, objective removal & clone dispersion effects, and many more. Color grading software is called ColorDirector, which comes with a lot of features such as keyframe color replacement, color match, directional light rays, selection mask with motion tracking, green screen maker, adjustable presents, and many more. The audio editor called AudioDirector, which comes with a lot of features such as ai wind removal, ai de-reverb, full restoration tool suite, vocal balance and removal, punch and roll recording, create incredible effect combos, and many more. They also come with a royalty-free stock library powered by stutter stock that you can use for all of this editing software for your video, picture, audio, and others. Also, they have many creative design packs for video, professional effects, and sound packs for videos.
After making the purchase, I immediately went into the video editing to test for their rendering process engine and to make sure that they could handle such big or very high definition videos such as 4K, which they do – beautifully. They also have many different export options that you can choose both online and offline as well. They also support a complete 360 video as well!
I am happy that I ultimately decided to go for Cyberlink editing software over others. In fact, it is actually too hard for me to choose between Cyberlink Director Suite 365 and the Final Cut X, which I also own. Cyberlink continues to improve their editing software regularly, which is a plus for me to keep up with the new technologies that produce videos or images. In my opinion, the only downside is that they don’t offer them for macOS, so they are only for Windows operating systems, but they do have apps for mobile use, though but not macOS computers. I honestly think that this Cyberlink Director Suite 365 is the best alternative editing software to FinalCutX or other final cut versions. If you feel a bit uneasy like I was when I brought Cyberlink Director Suite 365, the good news is that they guarantee 30 days money back, so if you don’t like it, then you can get a refund. I highly recommend Cyberlink Director Suite 365, especially for Windows operating systems, even for anyone who wants to pay a reasonable price but still is top-line editing software.
I am rating Cyberlink Director Suite 365 a 4 and that translates great.
