PowerDirector - Video Editor for Negative User Reviews
✓ Very disappointingPurchased the premium option and paid for a month. It just keeps freezing and throwing me out of the app. I have tried deleting and reinstalling and it just keep happening..Version: 12.2.1
✓ Please change this!!!So I downloaded PowerDirector for my Gacha, THEN it said that I wasn’t allowed in because it said “no iPhone 5’s, iPad mini 3 iPad air or any device bellow can’t use the app! I recommend that you change because people will become upset when they download and open the app! And if you change this, I change my review....Version: 4.0.1
✓ This is a darn good app!!!Not gonna lie this app is pretty good. It does 90% of everything I need it to do for free. If I could suggest 1 thing is would to be pin layered elements like audio and text to a clip. I’m not sure why but when I make add certain audio clips or text when I come to the app the text or audio clips have moved from the elements I added them to. Because this is painful and time consuming I gave it 3 stars. I paid for a 1 month access just to use a few filters features to see how they look. While they are nice I don’t know if it is for what I need it for. I will have to think about the long term/yearly purchase as this isn’t a one time fee. But over all for what it does it’s good. Because.Version: 12.4.3
✓ Idk what happened**anew problem the fade function can’t be found I can’t simply fade out on a video lol it completely disappeared as a option from the menu I used to love working with this a few years back Now every time there is some kind of issue I lose my song tracks on a regular when the whole point of purchase was music videos After losing a music track upon trying to reload it I get a prompt saying I can’t load the file Usually have to retry the next day and it will work When layering green screen video god forbid you try different ideas because if you delete one and try another it sees it as still being there and you get a 6 track limit even tho you may only have 4 tracks up Downloading new FX is a frustrating joke while one might actually apply the affect most don’t This actually just happened and that’s when I decided to write a review because it’s one issue after another EVERY SINGLE TIME I download new fx and one out of the 6 work I usually end up having to finish my projects in another editor Also I’m using a 500gig gen 6 iPad Pro idk if that matters either way I shouldn’t be having so many issues at this subscription price point I used to swear by this app and recommend it now it’s a frustrating piece of trash.Version: 12.4.2
✓ Great! But a problemOk so I got this app I love the new update I really like the new stickers, easy to use. but when I did a test, it blocked my video the media was not found. So I was very sad but I’m not judging, or trying to be rude. But I was..And this was when I gave it the last chance. To not block my video, but..its not change science 2 years ago, So I would want some Changes to not block your media. But keep the updates uploaded, The only change I want is to not block your media/Photos. If you could you don’t have to. :) it’s just fine! You don’t have to do that I think I started using it when 2017 I think and I really liked it, but 10 months ago I did vlogs inside, The house. But it was private so don’t try to ask the user 😅. And it blocked it. Black but it’s ok, so that’s the only problem I want you to change remember you don’t have too. And thx for reading!.Version: 8.0.3
✓ There is no claim premium for free giftI don’t see the free gift from the menu please help!!!.Version: 13.0.1
✓ Some videos won’t be addedI have had the app for years without this issue. I am attempting to make a video, however half of my chosen videos have a “cloud” symbol on them, and I am unable to place them in my video (please see attached picture) I have updated my phone and the app and still unable to load the single videos into the main video. All are the same format..Version: 9.4.3
✓ Can’t render 4K videosI can’t render 4K videos on my iPhone 14 pro Always crashe in the middle 1080p is fine.Version: 11.0.0
✓ Need a speed RampThis app is great but missing a speed ramp application.. it would be perfect if they will put speed ramp on speed category..Version: 10.4.2
✓ Unfair.When I got onto the app it kicked me out because I wasn’t using a device to your standards. I am honestly disappointed as my friend said it was amazing and really easy to use. I already don’t like that and now I can’t even USE the app. A waste of my time, not to hurt the creator’s feelings..Version: 1.0.3
✓ I’m disappointedEver since it got updated it keep kicking me out, making multiple files of the same video, not deleting things right and now it’s adding images backwards!! This makes it so much harder to work with, I like the app I’ve been using it for years, but please go back to how it used to add images and how it wouldn’t shove the premium version down my throat before letting me edit my videos.Version: 3.0.3
✓ PremiumWhy can’t I cancel my premium subscription and stop having to pay 6 dollars a month..Version: 9.8.1
✓ I love the app but can’t use it on my iPadSo it says that it will work on my iPad, then it doesn’t, it keeps saying when I open the app that it will not work on my iPad this to me is very stupid I wish you guys could fix it otherwise it’s a really good app and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to do this kind of stuff. This is really important to me I am an up and coming film maker with no money right now the best camera I have is on this iPad if you guys could fix it it would mean the world to me, some really hard times we are all going through and soon I’m gonna be an adult right now I’m turning 16 I just want to have something that will allow me to reach my goals in life cause you never know if your going to have tomorrow..Version: 9.1.2
✓ Good app crashes too often thoughGood app but the new “video enhancer” keeps crashing and never completes.Version: 12.5.2
✓ Please help:’(So I downloaded this app and I was so happy.. But then when I went into it it just had a note that said “we do not support iPad Air” and that’s the device I use please this is the only app that I watched a tutorial of and it seemed so easy please make a version that will support my iPad and other devices I will still vote this a 3 star on my review and this app thank you for reading my review I really want to use this app 😣😣😔😔😔😩😩.Version: 1.3.2
✓ EditingIt’s really good and all but maybe you could make a bit easier like KineMaster??.Version: 1.4
✓ GarbageThis app is nothing more than a subscription based version of other free mobile editors. The effects are basic and no good for anybody besides teenagers looking to make sparkly/glittery tik tok videos. They call this a pro editor? Please. Freezes literally every time I use it in the first few minutes. You absolutely CANNOT edit and resume playback from your pause point, it MAKES you exit out and start the video completely over from the start. Their support is trash, you can’t get any type of help, support or resolution within 48 hours even if you call, which is inexcusable for a subscription service. I thought I despised a few other editing programs prior to this one, I was wrong, I wish I’d never even clicked on the description of this piece of worthless garbage app. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!! Oh, and if you’re reading this, it’s because I finally got past the AI that kept saying “nickname taken, please choose another one.” I was using key words like trash, crash, freeze, garbage etc,… let that be a hint..Version: 11.4.1
✓ Power DirectorIt’s not that great. It’s not very detailed, not very user friendly, not all features are available, and tbh, iMovie is better for this kind of thing. Bad buy..Version: 3.0.3
✓ You app WAS goodEver since the update with ad rewards your app hasn’t work properly. When you add a music track then minimise the app or publish your work, the audio disappears. Im using iPhone 7 and 8. Please fix this guys..Version: 9.6.2
✓ Alright I guessIf your gonna make a editing app don’t make it so you have to pay money per month. Just make it so you can pay in full. Stupid system. Don’t use a excuse like “We had to do this because we don’t have enough money to fund this project” It’s just annoying and most people uninstall this immediately when they find out..Version: 9.2.1
✓ Incorrect Age ratingHi. I have downloaded this to review prior to my daughters use and I read the privacy policy which clearly states that it should not be used by children under the age of 16. The App age ratings however is 4+ Can you confirm that if this app is installed on my daughters iPad and she accept the privacy policy, then you will collect ZERO information about her and/or make no use whatsoever of any information you may inadvertently gather - because she is a minor / child (10 years old)? If this is not the case, then the age rating of this App should be 16+.Version: 4.0.2
✓ StorageSays not enough storage to produce a 2gb video. Phone and iCloud each has over 700gb of free space..Version: 12.3.1
✓ The chroma KeyWhere is the chroma key is it dissapeared.Version: 11.4.1
✓ WingitTo be honest this is one amazing editing tool until the latest update versions . I was getting comfortable with all its amazing features.. on the 10.6 then the 11. Suddenly the new updates have broken the transitions between clips (not impressed) they were smooth now it skips sound and picture , also the speed up times 8x use to be smooth .also skittish fix this problem please. I like the 10.6 before the new update, i had to delete this app several times to see if it’s anything my end , I’m paying subscription because this app is amazing...Version: 11.1.0
✓ Needs a little more loveSo it shouldn’t have non-unlimited photos because I can’t afford those so if you want more people and stuff on the app make it have unlimited photos without the premium access..Version: 1.0.2
✓ SUPER LAGGY CONSTANT ISSUESSo happy I paid $40 for this... not. I’ve had nothing but issues with lag on every single thing I do. For example, I go to split a clip & it freezes for a good 8 seconds before it actually clips it. Try to undo that? Another 8 second freeze. Now it crashes and kicks me out whenever it feels Ike it. OH ALSO! It will delete your clips & say it’s because you deleted the media off your phone when you never did. Literally anything I do, it freezes. This app is trash, don’t waste your money. UPDATE! App still continues to lag if you try editing a video over 10 mins in length. I’m coming on here to update this review because this happened just now while trying to use app again. AS I WAS EDITING, (which mind you has a good amount of splitting both video & voiceover recordings from my mic and being sure they match up in sync perfectly.. A LOT of effort put into this) the media goes red MID CUT & says it cannot be found... the media is still on my phone like it was when it initially pulled it. Ruined & Ridiculous! It’s just so unfortunate that you pay for an app like this with all it has to offer... and you implement multiple things like music/video/text/voiceover and it can’t even keep up with using all of them without such lag..Version: 3.0
✓ This app is extremely complicatedIn addition to this it is not a good video editor. It freezes up when trying to add effects making the videos unwatchable and the effects are very cheesy. Voice over does not let you use any voice other than the computer generated voices that sound like bots. You can’t use a famous voice. You can’t add any special effects to videos like explosions or anything that will keep you on the edge of your seat (even though it would only freeze) this app is pretty kindergarten in terms of where we stand in 2023 and how video editing has evolved. This app is more like 1960’s video editing. If I could rate it a 0 I would because I have completely wasted the past 2 days thinking I was doing something wrong trying to find this software but the reality is that the app doesn’t have any of this..Version: 12.5.1
✓ Works relatively well. Tricky use of files though.This works well for what it does on mobile. I did have a lot of wasted time scrolling and I deleted files from photos to make space to download the finished edit. Then the app said that some files had gone missing been renamed or removed access. So the files that I brought into the app have to stay in Photos in order to produce the edited video. That’s fine except I spent tons of time down converting them into the app and it didn’t tell me this fact ahead of time. I spent hours more RE-downloading the clips from the could back into photos and then RE- down-converting them into the app then recutting them into the finished edit (which alters the timeline for audio overdubs needed for a cooking video) then realigning all the ADR and effects.... hours of wasted time due to the app not saying up front what was needed..Version: 7.0
✓ Data collection softwareWhy would they need to know my pet hamster’s hair colour just to let me make a video, ridiculous. Ok the pet details were an exaggeration, but was meant to highlight the vast amount of personal details you want me to waive access to, even before being able to see if your app can make a simple gif. It would have been nice to have had a chance to see what the app was like before letting you have access to the many social media, forums, gaming, shopping and personal details and blogs etc and more you want to take. I couldn’t contact you through the app settings because the app doesn’t let you use the program, obviously..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Don’t download this appYou will waste your money and this app should be called a crashing app. I recently got a response to this review and the response is the same response 90% of the complaints get! ( restart the app! You might not have enough memory! Your phone might be slow bla bla bla) after carefully reviewing all the reviews left by the users and they complain mostly about the same issue for the past 3 years! Clearly implies that this app needs to be taken off App Store as the company has not taken the responsibility of fixing these issues! I don’t need a response from you guys. Thank you 🤝.Version: 12.7.2
✓ The problem of cut a videoI have purchased the iPad premium version of your software, and found a serious problem during use. When I cut a video, the transition between the two clips cannot be smooth. The dropped position has to freeze for a while before transitioning to the next clip. How to solve this problem?.Version: 11.4.1
✓ TerriblePaid for premium and this app always glitches when I’m trying to render my videos. Would not recommend this app for anyone as there is also terrible customer service options.Version: 11.4.1
✓ SUPER GLITCHY!!Ever since I switched to power director, I would have to make 1 minute videos and put them together- Meaning 1 hour of just doing that! It is a waste of time! Now, I am kicked off my videos every 5 seconds- exactly, making 20 SECOND VIDEOS! Please fix these awful bugs otherwise I’m not coming back :(..Version: 8.1.0
✓ 2 Star Rating!If your on an apple iPad you can’t add anything into your videos , there’s no text or any features that we would actually need in it ... on my Samsung I had all features but not on my apple ... 2 star rating.Version: 4.0.1
✓ HardCan you make it easier for Gachalife videos because not as easy as KineMaster not hating or anything just make it easier to use.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Text to Speech hasn’t worked for monthsI’m disappointed the text to speech still isn’t working properly on an app..Version: 13.0.2
✓ It’s become worseI’ve tried to produce a 10 min video, it gets over 50% and than crashes. I’m using iPhone 13 Pro Max, this app used to be great however it’s gone from 5 to 1.Version: 10.3.1
✓ It’s TERRIBLE!! I had to finish project with iMovie !!!ALMOST UNUSABLE! I have been using this app on & off for over a year now. I had a yearly subscription and it recently expired so I signed up for a week free trial. It used to work so good with some occasional bugs but now it is almost completely unusable. When you start to edit a video, you cannot get it to play through the timeline when you make changes. It will eventually play but can’t take forever and require multiple presses of the play button in the project window. I gave a one star rating because, what should’ve taken me an hour or two for ONE day, took me several days of an hour or more each day trying to get a 25 minute long wedding video. I am canceling this subscription before I'm charged the yearly fee on October 19th. I must hear back from the developer telling me that this is absolutely been fixed. I have this program running on the most powerful iPad Pro 11 inch (M1). How do you take a program that was working almost perfectly a year ago and with the most recent update, it is horrible and doesn’t work right? it must be able to play through the timeline after I make changes so that I can see how it’s going to look. It was a simple project, not that complicated at all. I can’t even make the video as good as I had hoped because of these reasons. I will not subscribe and pay any fees until this has been fixed!.Version: 12.6.1
✓ SubscriptionsI can subscribe through the Apple subscription but I can’t sign in to that account. Why in the world would I use this? I can pay for the service but Not access the service. I can sign in with my email address but not through Apple. Since when did that change?? I thought this app sucked in the fall, it majorly sucks now!! Stay Away from This App!!.Version: 12.1.2
✓ F**k this appI can’t even use it because I am on iPad Air.Version: 9.8.1
✓ Why???This app doesn’t even play the video properly.Version: 12.1.0
✓ Please don’t downloadMe and my best friend are small YouTubers, and since we haven’t hit the qualifications for being paid, we’re unable to get new equipment for better videos. Anyways, I was trying to find a better way to make a certain video, and a YouTuber I love to watch who makes tutorials and other things like that recommended it for the type of video I was making. So today I decided to try it out, and I was very impressed by the way it turned out. Though I still had about 6 GB on my device available to use, it told me the video could not save and I had to free up space. I thought to myself “the video is finished, so I bet I can just delete the images I used for this.” After I deleted it, I went into the app and it told me the whole video was gone. I spent over 2 hours working on this video, and I had an actual meltdown. Thank goodness I sent half of the video to my best friend to show her the WIP, because if I didn’t I would have to spend another 2 hours making it. So, to the people reading this, I wanna let you know that I got NO WARNING WHATSOEVER, and I’m VERY disappointed. I will not use this app again, and I won’t recommend it to anyone. I hope that from now on you warn people about this, because you just lost a user..Version: 10.3.3
✓ How do I edit second time?So this app is great and all but I juts have one thing. So I was making a video and I went off to do something else to add into the video. I added all my photos and that. I came off and I remembered to edit something but when I went on it, it wouldn’t let me edit it. It was frozen and I couldn’t use it. I kept coming off and on the app but still frozen. So what do I do or can you do something about it?.Version: 1.1.2
✓ PoorAudio bugs aren’t fun. I’m on the iPhone 13 - during previews if any splicing is done to the Audio you lose all the audio even though the track is there and all audio functions are at full volume etc - then when exporting audio is gone as well… so strange..Version: 9.6.2
✓ I pay for the app vip for 1year and now app crashedI ask for refund for my subscription but never hear anything from them. The app is unusable. During edit it freeze and cannot play the video that im supposed to edit. Not good. Good bye money.Version: 12.3.1
✓ I’m disappointed........Ive was actually really excited to use this app! The views seemed great and I wanted to improve my Gacha life videos but..then it said they it wasn’t supported on iPhone 5s and iPad minis ect i felt sad that everyone was having a great time and all and that cuz I can’t afford any other phone that I’m left out.. I don’t mind to much o guess just anyone who has the phones iPads ect that don’t work to not birthed to download this app. Hope one day it will work and I guess goodby?......Version: 5.0.2
✓ Like the app, but there are glitches!I always make little “fan-made” music videos on this app. One of my biggest issues is that, randomly, the audio of the video goes silent while I’m making it. Muting and unmuting the audio does nothing, so I have to do something extravagant sometimes like restart my entire phone to get it to work again. Even then, sometimes, it doesn’t work. I can’t figure out the trick to it. Would just be great if this issue was fixed! Also, would love if we were able to add more than 4 layers onto the video! I can make it work for now though. Thanks for this app! I want to be a professional video producer one day so this is a good choice of app to learn basics with :).Version: 12.1.2
✓ Not impressedI have had PowerDirector (with a Premium membership) for a few months now. On my iPhone 13 Pro Max, things worked pretty nearly perfectly. Ever since I upgraded to the 14 Pro Max, I have had NOTHING but issues. The app freezes, crashes, certain features don’t work half the time and others don’t work at all. It seems like whenever there is an update, the issues get WORSE instead of better. I am a content creator and do not have the time to deal with these issues. I have due dates, and how can I complete my content in time if I can’t even use the features needed to create the content? I even sent an email to support at one point to report some of the issues and was told that it was probably my video format… except my video format hasn’t changed. Its not a ME problem, it’s a YOU problem. Fix the bugs in the system, please. Or, if you can’t manage that, then please refund my money and I will take my business elsewhere..Version: 11.0.1
✓ PremiumYou can’t do nearly NOTHING without premium!😡You can’t write, you can’t put stickers, you can’t put a template and you can’t even see what it would look like with one of those things! Youtubers unless you get premium you can’t do nearly nothing!😡I wanna do cool videos and not get premium. And I would but won’t delete PowerDirector because I maybe I’ll get premium because the videos you make with premium are LEGIT!.Version: 9.6.1
✓ Needs fixingThis app glitches and freezes a lot need fixing. Before it use to be better, if it continues I’m going to delete it and stop paying $60 per year for it now.Version: 12.4.2
✓ Recent update has shown that $$ talksAnd is the only way to get a decent experience there are no more premium for (time) rewards.Version: 12.5.1
✓ To manny issuesHello, I’ve been using the app for a number of years but recently I’ve had several major issues. The first one is when exporting a video, it just kicks me off the app mid processing with no error or storage message. The second problem is that when editing about halfway through, it doesn’t allow me to play the video and the play button doesn’t work and the final problem is that when exporting if it works, the audio is out of sync with the video and the audio and video is in the same layer..Version: 9.1.1
✓ Please help-fine if not,thanks.Hiya!Small issue here but it does make a big difference,When I go to add more media(photos and videos) to my video .It seems to like putting them all at the start instead of the end-I then either spend forever removing them or I just restart altogether. Could you please explain if there’s a way to fix this? Sometimes it even doubles them all so I have the whole thing more than once ..Version: 12.4.1
✓ Login issues as subscriberCannot login or easily communicate except on this forum! No password reset emails. Paying subs for years,,.Version: 11.2.3
✓ GlitchyThe editing is great. But when you’ve finished I’ve had issues producing the video back to my saved videos and there’s not a lot of support or anyone to call to help you with it.Version: 3.0.3
✓ No Support , Money Grabbers. Don't buyI purchased program. It still keep asking me to subscribe and pay to use premium membership. I sent support so many emails with screen shots proof of purchase. Never heard back. Called Apple as well and reported that. All they said, contact developer. Be aware. Do not buy..Version: 11.3.2
✓ Timeline and chroma-keyThis app is supposed to be compatible with my ipad pro, but the chroma key is not available. I bought this app primarily for the chromakey. I have other movie making apps that I like as well, all I need is basic editing. I really wanted to explore a little more with chromakey and its ability to mask and blend, but the chromakey feature is NOT AVAILABLE as indicated. The timeline feature is annoying. If you have ever used CyberlinkPowerdirector desktop version, it is a little bit different. I wouldn’t say it is a lot better. Each version has its ups and downs. So far, I am not completely satisfied with either of them. Each has features that are annoying to use. The videos make it seem so simple but it really isn’t. In order to add a layer, I’d have to add the content in order. If I were to add it after I had already made adjustments and edit the footage, I can’t just add content without everything getting moved and adjusted out of the order I previously placed them. Too bad I paid for the whole year instead of just trying it out for the month. I want a refund!.Version: 6.0.3
✓ I hate this app and it’s glitches.It won’t let me add text to my projects anymore, it just freezes when I press the checkmark and I have to close the app. PowerDirector has so many other problems but with that problem I’m done with this app..Version: 9.10.1
✓ Reasonably goodPower Director is a very promising app but the only thing that is bothering me is how laggy it is. I had a ten-second video and it was lagging so much! I suggest that you fix this because it is probably the reason why you don’t have 5 stars that could be the way you can improve way much more reasonably better!.Version: 12.3.1
✓ Why was this created?The app has no instructions it kept on crashing and I couldn’t add audio. I deleted it within a minute of downloading it. This app is the reason there should be a zero star option..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Fades and effects don't work properly.This app is simple to use. and produces good results - as long as your videos are really short and simple. I'm using a new iPad Pro, but that doesn't seem to have enough grunt to cope with fades and effects, which turn out blocky, flickery and pixellated. I couldn't find any online help on this subject. If the app did what it says it should do, it would be fantastic! The PC version is brilliant, but the app doesn't quite measure up. I'm not renewing the subscription..Version: 12.1.2
✓ Play Button GlitchSo I didn’t want to write a review because I would have much rather used support but any-who there seems to be some sort of glitch within the app where the play button is not working for whatever reason, however the problem isn’t for every video it’s for very specific ones and it seems to be in connection with the audio. This is something I’ve never experienced before and maybe it has something to do with the amount of editing, I’m unsure why, however it is slowing me down on finalizing my edits. Sincerely, An avid Power Director user of 6 years.Version: 9.6.2
✓ Serious problemThis app use to be amazing for me, when I was just creating little videos. But now, whenever I select a video or photo, it always says it failed and for about three months now I have been unable to crear a video because I am never able to select any content. This needs to be sorted out because I have tried to clear loads of storage on my phone to see if that was the problem, it didn’t solve a thing, I have deleted and reinstalled the app several time with no improvement. It’s a problem that stops the creators from using this app. It needs to be sorted out. However, when it did work, it was an amazing app with really good features. Keep up that good work, just I think this problem needs to be looked at. :).Version: 10.0.3
✓ This won’t work even though it says it work on my deviceThis is my second time getting it and every time I open it it says it’s too old or something and it says on the App Store that it is compatible for my device. I am a gachatuber and i’m currently using KineMaster because I don’t know how to use cute cut and I want to see how this app works can you please fix this? I am trying to make an animation meme and KineMaster isn’t working and again I don’t know how to use cute cut.I am on an iPhone 6 and it won’t work. I don’t know the order of the dates they came out😅. Either way i’m just going to give it 3 stars Incase you fix this bug (or whatever it is).have a nice day/evening!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Cant even click on anything.I open up the app and I can’t click on anything. I tried again and nothing will work/open..Version: 12.2.0
✓ Glitchy output files when exported!Guys, what’s going on with this new update? I can’t export any videos I have speed up. ALL OF THEM are showing some fragmented glitch. Costume service told me they cant send me a previous version that was working well. I need it for my business. Could someone find a solution? I love this app and I don’t want to move away, but if I can’t get support soon I will have to move to another one and cancel my subscription..Version: 11.4.1
✓ I am very disappointedThe application does not work on iPhone 13 pro max. 2 days trying to save the movie on the phone, and it can't be done. the application closes during 20-22% of the save. I purchased a subscription for a year for an application that does not work. I want my money back. what I have to do? help does not reply to the e-mail. I'm not going to pay for something that doesn't work. I lost two days of my life on this app anyway!.Version: 10.5.2
✓ Crashing appI paid for a full-subscription but the app is constantly crashing.Version: 12.4.2
✓ Not so great 😑😕😑This is not the best video editor that I’ve seen. I originally downloaded it for the after credit feature, but I believe that they got rid of it. It would be nice if they could bring it back because this was the only app I could find that makes credits, and the feature is very useful. There are also too many things that can only be used with a subscription. It’s quite annoying. Overall I don’t recommend only because there are so many things I wish I could do bc when editing videos. If you are a person who is on the hunt for a video editor I truly recommend InShot (logo is a white camera with mainly pink ombré background) I use it for all of my videos and it is truly amazing..Version: 11.2.1
✓ Good app but there is a problemThis is a good app for editing my videos but once I’ve edited it and saving it to my camera roll it just says power director at the bottom of the screen which ruins the video entirely. There are some good features but if you don’t won’t a power director on the bottom of the screen every time you edit your videos I don’t recommend this app..Version: 2.0
✓ Just a quick commentNice app but only one little problem it doesn’t support png make it a little bit better and I will update it.Version: 9.9.2
✓ FraudCharged me for a subscription that I did not want or purchased. Then The app wouldn’t let me unsubscribe. Stay away from this fraud.Version: 9.9.2
✓ It’s good for editing, just there’s some issues I’m havingSo let’s start off, when I first moved to PowerDirector and claiming it to be my main editing app. For about the first month or 2 it was going good, but then weeks after I bought premium I started experiencing some issues with the app. #1 Sometimes if I’m looking for a Sound Effect or Adding new clips to a project or go to the main screen of the app, all sounds and music would then become corrupted in the project. 2. It’s super laggy, and yes my phone works fine, I’ve checked stuff like this ever since I first got an IOS Device. It’s been bugging me cause I payed money for this just for it to not work at all, if any developers are out there, please respond with some type of help..Version: 6.0.2
✓ I need this appI’m a iPad mini user and I can’t use this app! It’s really annoying please can you fix this I was so excited until that showed up with the notice saying doesn’t support iPad minis. Just why?.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Absolute garbage app.Absolute garbage app. I’ve used PowerDirector in the past and it was the perfect editing app for me. Three years later, I reinstall the app, and to my horror, everything goes wrong. Here’s my issue; Every time I try to create a video—once I start editing, ALL my photos and videos are GONE. The screen goes BLACK. It says my files are unable to load or something like that. I’m so tired of this app I’m on the verge of giving up and I’m thinking of finding a new app to replace PowerDirecter. It’s not only this issue that I have to deal with. Once I begin editing my videos, it takes almost a DECADE for me to finish because of how SLOW the app gets after I pass the 30 minute timeline. I’m so frustrated with this app, sometimes I’m on the verge of throwing my phone across the multiverse. I really hope you make some changes or FIX these issues..Version: 13.0.0
✓ FailCan’t view/edit audio track for a video without exporting the audio first. Can’t move clips from one video track to the other. Trimming a clip on track 1 automatically removes the gap and slides the remaining clips together, which ruins any sync you have with other tracks. Can’t view the timeline in frame, so when moving clips you can’t be exact which is important for audio sync. When importing a clip on the “layer” track, it imports it at half size and you have to resize it - but the controls are awkward to resize it exactly to full screen or a specific amount (like 25 percent). Oh, and if I press the Home button within the app, it takes me back to the main menu, losing my project. It doesn’t ask to save my project or warn me that I will lose it. I could go on, but this app is a flop just like many other mobile video editors..Version: 8.1.0
✓ ☹️K, so. I downloaded this thinking that maybe I would actually be able to make videos. But hunny, I was soo wrong. I have a iPhone 5 (it’s my baby and I don’t want to upgrade) and when I opened the app it said that it doesn’t support iPhone 6 down. I was so disappointed because the App Store said it was compatible on this device and it took about 15-10 minutes to download. I’m sure I would of have a better experience if I had downloaded on another device but for this. It’s one star..Version: 1.4.1
✓ I have a problemSo Um….I have been using this app for a long time and I just checked and for some reason, my pictures that I either put on green screens or as pictures they either don’t appear with the green screens and such and just appear pitched black and I can’t see a thing at all. And another thing. For years I have used this app and when I add an average amount of photos while I’m trying to create a video it’s always glitchy and kinda slow when it comes to getting a picture to put in or even moving from left to right. Or just at all using the app the clicking and putting pictures or anything is just slow. I hope there is an explanation for it cause I’m confused:/.Version: 12.7.2
✓ Been using it for 2 yearsHi So I have been using this app for 2 years no issue but I hate to say it this is now like any other editing app same transitions the effects are nice but the transitions is just a red flag they used to have cool glow transitions which were my favourite ones now they have just exchanged the old transitions with other boring ones I’m not trying to hate but this used to be a very unique and amazing editing app now the software developers decided to get rid of the good stuff and leave us with boring editing options which is just like any other editing app. I used to use an old app which done the same thing as this editing app it was good they messed it up so I switched to this thinking it would be my main editing app but unfortunately that is not the case now I just have to find a new editing app as of now this will just ruin my videos. Please reply software developers I would gladly like to see your reply..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Issues with live stream recordingsI have been using and have subscribed to the premium version for a couple of years now and I loved the app until the last renewal. My live stream recordings have all of a sudden started to malfunction in the PowerDirector app and the powers that be are unable to fix the issue. So I have paid for a year of service of this app and cannot use it for what I have been using it for all along. The videos that I upload are not playing properly in the app. The audio is fine but the viewing of the videos look like they are buffering and are severely behind the video. I cannot edit them. But, if I produce the videos, the result is a perfect in synch video and audio with no viewing issues. For some reason, in the middle of reporting this to PowerDirector, they stopped communicating with me. Probably bc they can’t fix it and don’t want to give me a refund. Do not subscribe to this app. I am currently looking for anothe video editing app that does what I need it to fo..Version: 12.0.0
✓ Disappointed in this app lately!Updated: I’ve been using PowerDirector since it first dropped and the odd time it would have the odd bug or glitch which was expected. Lately I’ve been so disappointed while working on projects in this app it literally forced me to use other editing apps which is a shame cause I really loved PowerDirector. Tried to edit long videos (like podcasts) and while editing and syncing audio, the app would randomly say some stuff like “file seems to be missing or replaced” or “there isn’t enough memory space available” knowing well I have plenty of memory and storage space also I never moved my files. Even worse, let’s say you get through the nightmare of editing and you get the chance to start producing/rendering the project, it will get to around 90% and then the app will straight up crash! I’m so done with this software and I’m more upset about it cause I really loved it when it didn’t glitch out and shut down for no reason. Fix this please! I’ve been exporting a video over and over again to get the same results! Already tried troubleshooting ideas to fix this problem, why on earth have an editing app that’s not optimized properly especially when it comes to exporting a project?!.Version: 12.4.3
✓ Cannot green screen videosDo not be mislead by the app description. The chroma key feature is not available for videos only photos. So it is useless.Version: 10.6.0
✓ No More Shutterstock. Now a WORTHLESS app!At the end of June 2023 this app went from being the best editing app out there to an utter piece of CRAP by switching out Shutterstock for worthless Meta. In case you’ve never looked into this, let me save you some money — Meta’s selection REEKS. IT STINKS. POWER DIRECTOR IS NOW GARBAGE. I unsubscribed and if you care about making videos with powerful music, I suggest you do the same. Bad, bad move developers. SHAME on you. If I could get my money back for the rest of this month I would..Version: 12.3.0
✓ Well.. now it just always crashesBoth iPhone and iPad versions crash when perform actions or rendering.Version: 12.1.1
✓ Better in the old days :)I used to really like this app but it’s changed. It was much better in the old days Now it’s just confusing and hard to work now. :).Version: 9.9.2
✓ Terrible after subscription serviceSubscription member 2+ years and yet I sign in and can’t use the full features of the app. No where to email and no fix. Thanks for stealing my money.Version: 13.0.2
✓ UnusableIt was always clunky, but the past few months it has become literally unusable. Audio will not sync, fade stops working entirely, audio skips and repeats in places, and simply will not save in a usable format — the sync, but also the audio is always corrupted in one form or another beyond the syncing, which is simply trash now no matter what. Just spent time fighting the second and last video that I will wrestle in PowerDirector only to have to fix in iMovie in order to save the audio without weird repeats, skips and sync issues. Unbelievable. And I paid $5.99 this month, too. I'm frustrated to the point of being disgusted. And I am also also done. Congratulations on earning my first 1 star review..Version: 10.4.2
✓ Professional output, amateur optionsI bought this because my first effort of joining up film clips went so well & the quality was as original. But there are options and basic admin tasks that need addressing. For example, allowing each film to be given a name when saving at the time of saving. I wanted to save different versions but there was no way to rename each save option. Nor at the end could you save to different folders. Nor any idea of the different file sizes before or after saving (I had to use an exif app for info). Nor is there any advanced choice of bitrate. It seems caught between an amateur let's make a film with lots of effects and a semi-professional output. My ancient desktop Nero Vision or even Adobe premier light version 11 were more advanced many years ago. Another complaint is that you can't edit offline & save in high quality even though I've a year's subscription. Not everywhere I go has good online connections & I prefer to concentrate the mobile's battery resources for the app. All that being said, with these elementary improvements its star rating would go up..Version: 9.4.2
