PowerDirector 8’s excellent price-to-power ratio is undeniable, so if you aren’t bothered by having to work in full-screen mode, go for it. You also get a new particle FX library for overlaying such elements as snow falling. Welcome new features include TrueTheater HD up-sampling, video stabilization, audio and video denoise tools, motion frame interpolation, three music tracks (up from one in version 7), and nine picture-in-picture tracks (up from six). Version 8 also reworks the ‘Create disc’ pane so that you can view the content of the disc–and the menu structure–in tree-diagram form. Formerly presented over a series of three step-through dialog boxes, all options now appear on a single page that fills the main window. Cyberlink nicely revamped the Produce window (where you select the output format and the location) as well. I was pleased with the newly resizable panes for Media (where you add files), Preview (where you watch your movie), and Timeline (where you assemble the movie) in version 8’s Edit window. Since I like to multitask, these drawbacks have begun to grate on me a bit.

On the other hand, the upgrade fixes none of the previous version’s interface faults, such as its tendency to obscure tools when you run the program at less than full-screen.
This latest version of the program introduces a number of usability improvements and new features, most compellingly the TrueTheater video correction and enhancement tool.
PowerDirector 8 Ultra is a powerful video editor, and its interface is stylish and friendly–when you work with it in full-screen mode.
