Never before has it been so attainable for the average user to create Hollywood style movie productions as it is today with PowerDirector 2.0 Pro. Where previously users needed advanced skills, and multiple software applications, today the answer is as clear and straightforward as PowerDirector 2.0 Pro. From start to finish, users will have a complete, yet simple to use, solution for creating movies on CDs and DVDs!

Capture

Easily Import Media Into PowerDirector 2.0 Pro’s Video Editing Mode

• Import Video From Anywhere: With PowerDirector 2.0 Pro, users have complete flexibility in importing video onto their PC. They can capture video from DV (as a whole file or in batches) through IEEE 1394 (Fire Wire) connections, VCD files, or from any video source through WDM compliant capture devices, such as TV (capture device should support tuner functions), camcorders, VCRs, and PC cameras. PowerDirector 2.0 also offers users several format options for capturing video files, such as MPEG-1 (ideal for making video productions that will be outputted onto Video CDs), MPEG-2 (ideal for DVD titles), or DV-AVI formats. • PowerDirector 2.0 Pro Also Imports Images/Graphics: In order to provide users with greater flexibility in creating their video productions, PowerDirector 2.0 allows users to import images/graphics in various formats. Images/graphics can be imported in JPEG, BMP, and GIF format and easily integrated with video clips or used on their own to create slide presentations. PowerDirector 2.0 even offers users the flexibility to adjust the time length for which each image is displayed! • InstantMPEG for Superior Video Quality: After users have taken the time to record video on their DV , the last thing they want to do is effect the quality when they transfer it onto their PC for editing. With PowerDirector 2.0 Pro the ability to preserve video in its original quality is simple with the use of InstantMPEG technology. PowerDirector 2.0 Pro offers two modes for DV file transfer. Real-time conversion offers users with fast CPU speed the ability to transfer video quickly and with high quality. Non real-time conversion was specially designed for users with low CPU speed, but who want to keep their video in high quality. Plus, because PowerDirector 2.0 Pro can directly input DV files into MPEG format, without the need to first transfer to AVI, users can save a lot of valuable disk space.

Simply Organize and Arrange Video Productions

• Stylish User Interface with Maximum Flexibility: CyberLink knows that every users time is precious. Therefore, we designed a very simple and straightforward storyboard interface for editing video. This storyboard user interface allows users to quickly

and easily drag-n-drop their video, images or graphic files and create an instant video presentation. • Advanced Scene Detection Technology: With a simple click of the mouse, PowerDirector 2.0 Pro can take a single video file, search for scene changes in the video, and then create several individual video clips. The user can even set the scene detection sensitivity level so that PowerDirector 2.0 Pro will either create more or less scenes, based on changes that happen in the video. This feature is very useful for users who want an easy way to break their video into scenes/chapters for authoring, and/or for making it easier to later insert transition effects between scenes. • Trim Mode with Split Video Function: Many times it is necessary to cut out unwanted portions of video (such as mistakes). Therefore, PowerDirector 2.0 Pro users can take advantage of the sophisticated Trim Mode to cut out the portions of video they don’t want and retain only the portions they do want. Easy to use slide markers can be set where the user wishes to trim their video. PowerDirector 2.0 Pro also offers a unique Split Video Function, which allows the user to cut their video into two pieces with a simple click of the mouse. • Color Adjustment Effect: Users can fine-tune the look of their video by adjusting the color, brightness, hue, etc. of their files. Excellent for scenes that are too dark or lack the appropriate color resolution for final output.

Turn Any Video Into a Movie Masterpiece

• Motion Video Special Effects: This new feature on PowerDirector 2.0 Pro is perfect for allowing even the novice video editor to turn their video clips into eye- catching . PowerDirector 2.0 Pro comes with over 20 unique video special effects that can be applied to each video file so that users can create the style and feel they want. Users can apply interesting effects like a Water Ripple over their video or Focus to zoom in on a section. They can even fine-tune each effect to their desire. For example, a user could apply the TV Wall effect, turn the one video image on the screen into several, and adjust the size and number. • Dazzling Title Effects: Users can create more stunning looking videos by adding title effects to their video productions. Unlike other storyboard-based video editing software, that can only allow one single title string to be applied on a video or image clip, PowerDirector 2.0 Pro supports up to 9 title strings. With more than 50 unique effects on how the text is to appear to choose from, users can be sure their video productions come out with a special touch of style. They can even configure the text fly-in and fly-out speed, the timing at which the text is to appear, the font size, color, positioning and more. • Slow/Fast Motion Video Effects: PowerDirector 2.0 Pro comes with a feature that can enable the user to either increase or decrease the playback speed of a video file. This way, users can quickly and easily apply professional looking slow motion or fast motion effects to their video productions. With the use of a convenient slider bar, users can fine-tune the speed to create the exact effect they want. In addition to adjusting the video speed, the user can also select how they would like the associated audio track to be played back. They can either maintain the original audio speed or make it play faster or slower. • Audio Effects: Video productions can be jazzed up by adding or adjusting background or foreground audio. Users can adjust the audio track volume level or turn it off completely. PowerDirector 2.0 Pro allows the user to import up to a total of 5 audio tracks on to their video production. On those audio tracks, users may choose sections to fade-in and out, or even trim off unwanted portions. Users may also add a background audio track for the entire output production. Audio tracks can be imported in either MP3 or WAV format, and can be used for narration, background music, sound effects, and much more. Users may also record audio files directly from a Microphone or an audio CD. • Transition Effects: Instantly creating a stunning video production is simple with PowerDirector 2.0 Pro’s over 100 different 2D & 3D transitional effects. As the video or image file moves from one to the next, users can insert some eye appealing transition effects, such as Page Curl, Dissolve, Fade, and much more. Users can even fine-tune the transition effect length so that the start and end points are set exactly to the users liking. • Picture-in-Picture (PiP): This feature lets users add an image or video file on top of their running video for a distinctive kind of effect. They can adjust the overlaying image, or the display size of their video/ image to their liking, and then place it in the location they want. In addition, they can configure the transparency level of how the added video or image clip should be displayed, and even choose to remove a certain color. This is especially convenient for placing a logo or Watermark effect on a video or image clip.

Superior Video Editing Technology

• Smart Video Rendering Technology (SVRT) Saves Time and Preserves Quality: PowerDirector 2.0 Pro offers users an enhanced SVRT engine that renders MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and now DV-AVI, video faster than any other software on the market. After users edit their video, PowerDirector 2.0 Pro’s advanced SVRT only needs to render the portions of the video that they’ve edited. This is unlike other video editing software programs that need to render the entire length of video. AS you can see from the chart on the right, PowerDirector 2.0 Pro renders video notably faster than others. Plus, by only needing to render the specific portions of the video they have edited, instead of the entire length of video (like on other video editing software), PowerDirector 2.0 Pro can preserve the original, un-edited video quality.

Users can even input their own image to be inserted into the background or add a music track to be played while the viewer is choosing the Chapter they want. • Select from Unique Designer Menu Templates: PowerDirector 2.0 Pro comes with a total of over 90 menu templates.
