Returning to the Multi-Camera Editor is possible too in order to access the multiple thumbnails, although doing so discards any edits performed outside this editor. It’s also possible adjust the timing of cuts here, or to switch streams, without losing sync. I particularly like how an effect can be applied to a single cut, to one of the underlying video streams or the entire multi-camera object. Double clicking it unpacks it on the main timeline, whereupon transitions and effects can be added. A single soundtrack is used, either from one of the video streams or a separate audio file.īack in the main editor, the Multi-Camera Editor’s output is represented by a single object.
These edits can be performed live during playback, and can also be adjusted on the timeline either by dragging the start and end points or by right clicking to select an alternative stream. The edited footage appears in a bigger preview window. Each one plays back in a thumbnail-sized window, and cutting between them is a simple matter of clicking on one of the thumbnails. The various cameras’ footage is synchronised automatically by analysing their soundtracks. The manual explains how to use it but not where to find it – I eventually tracked it down in the right-click menu when browsing assets in the Library. Studio 19 supports up to six simultaneous streams in the Ultimate edition, four in Studio Plus and two in the entry-level version. Adobe Premiere Pro has earned its spot as the industry standard and there are some users who will never switch away from it, one reason being that some jobs require using it, but PowerDirector 16 is powerful, feature-filled, and relatively inexpensive.The Multi-camera Editor synchronises and cuts between footage shot simultaneously with multiple cameras Its interace is familiar, though not enough so that you won't have to invest some time learning it. Overall, this is an extremely impressive app for making videos. You can also use PowerDirector 16 to record voiceovers directly within the app, a great touch for people who narrate a lot of videos. You can use that same stabliztaion on 2D action cam footage as well. For example, you can take footage from a 360 action camera, stabalize it, and edit it all within the app.
I stuck to editing 1080p videos since my laptop is older but the app supports up to 4K video editing.Ī unique feature to PowerDirector 16 is its support for 360 degree video editing. In my testing, PowerDirector 16 handled editing well, even on my older laptop, and rendered videos well. The app supports plugins which expand its feature set and usability for specific editng scenerios. PowerDirector 16's power is shown off in this mode where you can add effects, transitions, color match, add titles and text, and more.
