There you'll find apps like Shotcut, a free, open source editor that's in constant, if early development.īack to Power Director 12 LE, you register for a key, getting an email with the key & a download link - the key is also shown on the web page. Select Video Editors on the software page at & you can see a fairly decent overview of what's available, along with user ratings & comments. Some feel that the free version of Davinci Resolve is the most professional video software you can get for free, though it works a bit differently so you'll have to invest some time in learning it. And of course there's always Adobe - their Premiere Elements is always popular & frequently on sale, especially bundled with Photoshop Elements. While I'm not a fan myself, till 9/8 Amazon is running a special on Pinnacle software, & some folks do like it. Personally I like the Sony video software the best, but haven't seen a lot of sales on it for the past several months. In terms of features & capabilities I'd give Nero the edge. In terms of value, the advertised price going through today's GOTD is $50 for PD 13 Ultra - I've seen Nero 2015 Platinum on sale for less than $30 maybe 1/2 dozen times in the last 3-4 months. I wouldn't expect that older runtime install with the current version if you bought it, though the number of registry entries is likely to climb as that paid version should include encoders missing due to the LE.įrom time to time Cyberlink software is on sale at a good price through Amazon, Frys, &/or Newegg, though you have to watch out as all 3 have been known to sell older versions without telling you that something newer just came out. As an older version, & a LE at that, I can forgive the installation of old Microsoft C/C++ runtime files, but make sure you check Windows Update afterward. I have to say PowerDirector 12 LE isn't bad for a more-or-less entry or home version video editor, though the installation, like all the other Cyberlink software I've checked out, is a bit atrocious, with ~3k new registry entries. I don't as a rule like Cyberlink software with the exception of their player, PowerDVD, which is what the company originally made its name with, back when anything DVD in Windows was new.
