Pros

“There's a huge resource library of background music (including Asian themed tracks which is important ot me - PD seems particularly keen to cater to Japanese market with fonts and music ) as well as Shutterstock video/images that come with your subscription. ”

“It also has a lot of useful tools, such as chroma key or animated transitions that can be tuned and keyframed to your desire.”

“Powerdirector offers a very substantial free version.”

Craig B.

Pros

“Secondly, it is integrated with creative software like 3D modelling, Sculpting, Animation, Rigging, and Texturing.”

Bruno M.

Marketing Executive Intern

“For a free software, it has an amazing amount of coverage for all types of industry roads (3D, 2D, Rendering, VFX, Animation, the list goes on) and has amazing features for artists.”

Jessica C.

Character Artist

“I use it every day for almost every stage of the game character pipeline for light sculpting, box modeling, UV editing, texturing hand painted textures, retopology, rigging and animation. ”

Cons

“I have never gotten a clear answer about why my app will be fully logged in as full version sometimes and then other times it cannot find my license. When I request help or ask questions, I get brushed off or told to just clear my cache or log out of all other emails in the android system before it will be recognized.”

Frankie S.

Consultant

“Also on older versions when editing large videos the application would just crash over and over and ultimately because of that (and the watermark) I had to switch to another video editor.”

“Also, I've never been able to go back to a saved project to make changes.”

Walter B.

Owner

Cons

“Consequently, rendering may take a long time if someone works with complex objects and special effects.”

Bruno M.

Marketing Executive Intern

“Sculpting tools and brushes don't 'feel' that great, also it can be buggy if you use subdivisions.”
