Weve long been champions ofCyberLink PowerDirector.
But thats on desktop computers.
Some effects and transitions will also be out of bounds.
PowerDirector offers you some short demo projects which you can download and use as part of your own
After which, if you dont cancel, youll be charged at the yearly rate.
Want to blur faces in a clip (or the entire body, or even just the background)?
Then Mosaic' is for you.
Editing is very well implemented, with icons that are large enough to tap on, but not too big so as to distract from the work at hand
Bottom of the screen is an icon labelled Demo.
If youd rather just start from scratch, just tap on New Project.
When working, youll find the interface very clean and easy to use.
Working with green screen is simple, but other apps do a better job of removing the background from around messy hair
Cyberlink PowerDirector app: Video editing
Youll find editing is as good as the best of them.
Need to use a tool?
you could add stickers, titles, special animated effects known as decors, and filters.
You have access to various online media libraries directly from within the app, 2/3rds of which are free to use
Resizing and rotating is done in the same way.
Youll also find a long list of tools associated with text layers, ranging from animation to motion tracking.
Simply tap, alter the parameters, and youre good to go.
Puzzlingly, PowerDirector insists on having access to your entire media library, even to export your project, when other apps can do that without breaching your privacy
But aside from that, its pretty good.
Theres also a link to iStock, but that content isnt free.
Except theres a pretty major hiccup for the privacy conscious.
Tap between two clips to reveal all available transitions. Those with a crown icon are restricted to paid subscribers
So far so good.
Unfortunately, if you wish to add additional clips after that first batch, you cant.
PowerDirector also insists it needs full access to your library for export any projects.
Again, other apps export fine without being granted full access.
Which begs the question: why is PowerDirector so adamant your privacy is secondary to its needs?
