App freezes upon saving clip
This app continues to freeze upon saving the video- 2ndlyfootage can disappear without trace
Great program - greedy devs
Power director is amazing! I use it regularly for insta edits and real estate tutorials! It is user friendly and quick. I just wish the devs weren’t Jews like every other big company ever . Of course you have to subscribe instead of one time payment to own, of course you need different subscription for different device, and of course it’s more AI instead of listening to customers.

Clunky and slow
Slow, janky, glitchy and expensive. Not ideal for iPhone editing unfortunately. If the app isn’t at least as good as IG edits then it’s not worth the money. I can get better functionality for free
PowerDirector
I like this app, but I wish it was not 9.16 and normal version (16.9)
Go with DaVinci
I have used PowerDirector for years both mobile and desktop, two days ago they did an update with a major push for AI features - since this update has happened the product is no longer even functional, the timeline constantly freezes, the app constantly freezes, moving the play head doesn’t change anything because the timeline is frozen, every 10 minutes I would have to close and reopen the program. I spent two days working through it on a project that would have normally taken 3-4 hours. I finally completed it, it was due yesterday but delayed
because of how broken their product became overnight. When I went back to review the final project before saving and exporting it there are subtitles of varying sizes and directions BURNED into the video itself with NO WAY to remove them because they weren’t ADDED - some scenes these subtitles take up the bottom 1/4 of the screen with letters so large that the lines run off the screen, another they are literally backwards - and I have no way to fix or repair this project, I tried removing the sections with these subtitles and re-adding them by manually cutting scenes from the master video file and replacing these sections on the track and the subtitles are still burned onto the screen. I hate that I have been a loyal customer to this company for years and they destroyed their product, and my product from that, so quickly that I now have to both pay for and learn a new editing software while also having MONTHS left on my paid subscriptions with both PowerDirector mobile and desktop because I have been paying for the subscriptions a year at a time
Save yourself the headache of having to pay for and learn a new program later and just start with DaVinci in the first place
