 power director 5 is very bad October 7, 2007
I have been a power director user for quite some time. I started out using PD 3 then 4 then 5 and the trouble started. PD5 WILL crash. It was unusable. It WILL crash for no reason. It is very frustrating to put in hours and hours on a project and then crash and lose all your data. I think it is time that Cyberlink fixes it's product once and for all or refunds it's customers their money.
Crash, crash, crash August 30, 2007
I managed to make one 20 minute movie, but what a pain! It kept on crashing. I am now buying Adome Premiere and hope for a more stable program that has some cool editing features.
Version 6 is just as bad - do not buy August 24, 2007

I should have listened to the advice on version 5. I really wanted all the special effects so I took a chance and bought version 6 hoping they had fixed the problems. It is just as bad. It crashes within seconds every time I start it. Support sent me a generic response. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

It seems to be good and have everything, but later will slow down and give you glitches. Not as bad as pinacle studio 10 though.

I have read several forums and reviews on Powerdirector 5. In short I have to agree with what has been said, Save your money. The program crashes all the time no matter what you are doing. The features are ok but not worth $80.00. The computer system I am using far exceeds what Cyberlink recommends to run this program. It took me four hours to make a five minute slide show due to the constant crashing. I am sorry I did not continue to look further at other programs. I'll shelf it and just put it with other junk I have bought over time.
