Yep! Powerdirector14 user. Been with PD since Powerdirector 4. On a Windows 10 machine. Intuitive, extremely easy to use with SVRT (Smart Video Rendering Technology) which means video rendering is done only when needed. When u render a file, and choose SVRT it will show the templates to use to get the maximum quality with the minimum amount of rendering. Once you render a file once, if you need to adjust just the audio tracks or add or mix a different audio channel, the video will not need to be re-rendered again. So the video quality is untouched. When adding effects, the SVRT will show how much of the video is being re-rendered, in percentages. Oddly enough, I also own the DJI OSMO. Raw footage from the osmo in the SVRT setting requires NO rendering. Unless your adding effects and graphics. So adding music or other audio tracks don’t degrade the video since its only adding audio. But the DJI Spark
️ in SVRT requires one pass in rendering the file, so all video edits must be done on the initial pass to maintain the full 100% quality on subsequent passes. If you render the file again to change the audio, then SVRT does not re-render the video, it stays at zero video quality loss. And needless to say, video is what takes the longest to render. Minutes only if changing the audio. You can add 100 video tracks to your project and the same with audio along with 100s of special effects. So essentially if you start with a video that shows zero % in video rendering 100% quality and you add a new effect towards the end of the clip, it will only need to render that portion of the video, and thats what SVRT does. It will speed thru the clip until it reaches the newly added effect, then it slows and renders that portion only.
I’m very sure other software have their own way of maintaining video quality as well. But I have always used PD. because of its ease-of-use. I hate reading manuals! Intuitive means, that what u think should happen, happens. In other words, hmmm, I would press here if I wanted to do this. Well, what you know, I do press here in this program. Thats Powerdirector.
Sorry for rambling on..lol
Great product!
