(5203.TW) today released the latest version of its award-winning video editing software, PowerDirector 9. Designed with high usability for consumers and powerful, pro-like features for prosumers, PowerDirector 9 unleashes users' full creative potential with performance-driven technologies including CyberLink's new TrueVelocity Engine. PowerDirector 9 is designed to make the editing process not only easier, but also faster. TrueVelocity editing technologies take advantage of native 64-bit OS support and leading CPU/GPU components to significantly reduce video processing time, while powerful, high quality tools such as the new unified keyframe control and a greatly improved timeline editor allow users to create even the most demanding and complex video productions."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1290480212.usr1.jpg" style="border: 0;" /></p><p>CyberLink's PowerDirector software has always been pretty fast, but with version 9 they upped the ante on optimization; this new version will use every core, every thread, every stream processor on your ATI or Nvidia GPU, and every scrap of RAM to accelerate video encoding. I just downloaded a press copy of the software tonight, and the timing is perfect because my first attempt at using Adobe Premiere Elements 9 to render a video resulted in a crash and a failed render. It truly blows my mind that Adobe is incapable of creating video editing software that doesn't crash at random - yet it's one of the few programs that easy to use and generates high-quality output at the resolutions, codec, and bit rate that I need. I'm hoping that <a href="http://www.cyberlink.com/products/powerdirector/overview_en_US.html" target="_blank">PowerDirector 9</a> can do what I need!</p>
