9. PowerDirector Pro
9.1 Introduction
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.
Admittedly, 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). Say goodbye to raw video data, which is
usually captured in .AVI format, and say hello to plenty of hard drive space
with the MPEG and DV AVI formats. 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!
