PowerDirector 365 Subscription vs Lifetime License...Which Ones Right For You?

[@flypic1098]

I'm firmly in the stand alone camp Maliek. I paid for it and it's mine. I'm now on a pension and if times are hard I still have my own software. Your tutorials are superb and have helped me loads over the years. Thanks. Jim

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Yes, seems like that’s the best choice for your situation. It’s all relative my friend. Enjoy your retirement!

[@murraykalbfell4029]

Quick question for anyone who knows? On their website it shows the software being able to turn real life people into a cartoon version of themselves... is this available for the 139 version? Thanks for any help, I just don't want to pay money for the lifetime license if in fact it's missing key features like this.

[@celestrio]

I love powerdirector. It's the easiest to be self taught. I also enjoy your videos. For me, 365 vs lifetime, I'd still lean to lifetime. I don't use the program enough to justify a yearly subscription as I use powerdirector solely for small little self projects, not for job or major projects. Of course, to other fellow PD users, it's a different story. Keep up the videos! Looking forward to your next tips and tricks vid.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Makes complete sense for you to have the lifetime license if you hardly use the program and don’t have plans to upgrade in the next 3 years. It’s always best to do what’s right for you situation.

[@TitoTimTravels]

I have always been against the subscription model from the beginning. I swore I would never pay a subscription for any software... then... PD 365 changed my mind. I have been buying an upgrade every 2 years since I started with PD 10. PD 16 was the last stand alone I bought. As soon as PD 17 launched I switched to PD 365, and I love 365. 😎

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Hey Tim. We both switched to a subscription at the beginning! Guess we are trailblazers...well, I KNOW you're a trailblazer. 😀 You save so much money when you're upgrading often like we do.

Thanks for the overview, Maliek! Before your comments, I had no idea what the differences might be. PowerDirector 365 is the clear winner for me.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

No problem! I have a lot of questions on this topic so it made sense to create a video to help others understand and to point my viewers commenters to when they ask questions in the future.

[@chrislauterbach8856]

I still own 16 as a lifetime license, but have been a subscription user ever since. Just the regular uprgrades make the subscription plan a good deal. The pandemic cut down the number of videos I could shoot and edit in recent years, but the value of the subscription is still worth the price.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Hey Chris you were an early adopter too? Welcome to the club my brother. You know I love me some PD. I haven't been shooting as many projects due to the pandemic either but I hope to get back out in the wild soon.

[@stevesummers6822]

Maliek, to be honest, the main reason I use Cyberlink products is YOU! Your instruction has been invaluable and hopefully, my small contribution monthly to you helps. Anyway, I need to point out one flaw (at least what I have discovered). For the most part, I consistently use three Cyberlink products, PowerDirector, PhotoDirector and Audio Director. To me those three packages are absolutely necessary to do editing as I use both video and stills in my project along with getting the best audio I can. Last year, I upgraded to ColorDirector 9. However, since I hardly ever used it as I also have taken a lot of lighting courses from a local community college and attended many workshops for lighting, the need for Color Correction was not a priority, until a couple of months ago when I wanted to fix some exposure on a video. That's when a whole series of problems began. I launched my ColorDirector 9 but was stopped cold as the program would not allow me to do anything. I had an error message indicating I had a trial version of the software, and even though I have a key following the purchase of the software, I could get any help from customer support in the way of a living, breathing human being to answer my essential question: if Cyberlink shows I have a trial version, then what happened to the stand alone version I paid for? So, I went through all the dialog boxes (each time having to close the 360 subscription ads) and I could not find any indication that the stand alone version for ColorDirector 9 can be downloaded for re-installation. That's a huge problem, especially if you have to re-install because your hard drive crashed, or buying a new computer to replace the computer that the original programs were loaded on. Essentially, what I did, was give up on ColorDirector 9, even though I had paid for it less that a year ago, and for my videos, always shooting on manual settings and always metering and really keeping the basics of lighting in mind. Any help or suggestions on how to fix my problem of replacing the download version of ColorDirector 9 would be fully appreciated. Steve

[@PDU_Tutorials]

No help here if you're not getting a response from customer service. I have never heard of them not responding. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Thanks for watching my content.

[@stevesummers6822]

@@PDU_Tutorials Thanks for the response Maliek. I think what happened is that there was some problem on my end, and that what I needed to do was uninstall and re-install the program. Unfortunately, there is no way to download that version from Cyberlink. The upside is that it means I need always to get the shot right from the camera or as good a shot as possible. I still have older versions of ColorDirector that allows me to change the exposure and contrast, plus there are some presets in my older version.

[@rakeshvatash]

Thank you, Maliek. As usual, you have given a balanced perspective. For many of us who are not into professional video editing, the monthly upgrades seem not worthy enough. But as they say, to each his own. I am a lifetime licence holder and I upgrade when I feel that I need the newer features in my videos. It may be every 2 or 3 or 4 years, but I do a personal evaluation and take a call.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Your approach makes complete sense to me. Pay for things you get the most value from.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thank you.

[@SoundSpeeds]

I didn't know there was a lifetime license. I'm going to have to consider it. Two things: 1) If I were to try 365 and save a project in 365 then cancel my subscription in the future... will I be able to open my project or is it not backwards compatible even to lifetime license versions? 2) It's not smashing your cartoon face anymore. It's that badass new headshot.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

1. 365 is compatible with a lifetime license. You can open the same project in both. 2. You minded me to change my outro line.

[@SoundSpeeds]

@@PDU_Tutorials Thank you!!!

[@SeanInAlaska]

When I started creating videos, I tried a load of different editor's, PD was the easiest to use for me. I paid for the stand alone for the first 2 years, then switched to 365. I create 52+ videos a year, increasing that this year. 365 is worth the subscription! Oh, and when I started, YOU may have been a deciding factor in me using PD lol....your videos are awesome hahhhahha

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I couldn’t agree with you more. I love the updates and all of the new features they gives us quarterly. Thanks for watching my stuff and being a sub.

[@CozyWithRaven]

I think I started with PD 14 when i got out of high school, and after upgrading a few times with the newer versions, I got the 365 plan in 2019. I've never regretted it. I've tried other programs out of curiosity, and I always come back to PowerDirector 😂

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I also other other editors on my machine (Adobe Premiere & Da Vinci Resolve). PowerDirector is always my go to.

[@mattslaboratory5996]

After 2-3 years as a 365 subscriber, I'm being pulled over to DaVinci. It's not as hard as I thought it would be. The same footage rendered by the two editors seems to look better, smoother in DaVinci's version. Transitions have fewer hiccups, more bits seem to have been crammed into the rendered output. I'm not interested in the clever effects PD keeps piling on, although the Shutterstock stuff is certainly handy. I probably won't renew at the end of this year.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Lots of people love Da Vinci. Im sure you'll do great with that program.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Eh, could be. I didn't want to oversell it either since many people receive claims when using the content and I received a strike when using the content.

[@ZoJaNu]

Seriously? Thanks for the heads-up. I'm doubly surprised that you were singled out. You must be one of the most important promoters for the software (and of the fringe benefits included with the software licence) anywhere in the world.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

@@ZoJaNu Thanks. As a user of the software and a small influencer I would think that my experience matters but I guess not as much as I thought it did. I also, don't go around bashing the company for my experience as everyone's experience will differ. Maybe one day I'll make a video on my experience. Who knows...

[@Skynet_the_AI]

I hate to break the 111 but i am grateful for this

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

As long a Cyberlink keep the subscription fee to about half of the one off buy price, I think the better value is always going to be 365. I originally didn't like the idea of 365 but after having it for a while, I am pretty happy with it.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

I agree with you as far as the price. Especially if you use the features and want the latest version of the program.

I anded up going for the lifetime license. I really don't need the extras in the 365 version re video editing and since I have a home studion I make my own music and sounds. I'm not really a fan of subscription services tbh but realistically I will only see a cost benefit of the lifetime version after three years.

@@PDU_Tutorials Thanks again Bro man

[@krakoos78]

The present situation with Wondershare Filmora clearly shows that under no circumstances users should go for the lifetime software anymore because "lifetime" nowadays means "a couple of years top". It's not even limited to software, but hardware too. My mic isn't compatible with Win11 and I had to downgrade my laptop to Win10. We can't upgrade our Intel processors without the entire motherboard exchange etc... Companies can stop supporting our old versions or it won't work with the new operating system. I'm not happy with this situation where everything needs to be rented, subscribed or borrowed, but no much we can do about it.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Noipe, not much we can do. The Filmora situation involved free lifetime updates. So every time Wondershare came out with a new version of Filmora, lifetime update customers got the new version for free. As a business that made zero sense. It was a model they could have never sustained and they never should have even went there. CyberLink offers a lifetime license of the current version of the software which you own for a lifetime. It does not include free lifetime updates to new versions of the software. Unfortunately that license won't be compatible with all future versions of Windows so that's a different issue to deal with. No matter what we do, companies will always change things to keep making money and stay in business.

So I have just bought a Canon C70... I have powerdirector 365 it is not compatible with CRM Raw HQ ST LT, XF-AVC YCC 422, MP4 YCC 422 or MXF files, I cannot use the high quality codecs that I bought this camera for. I can use MP4 YCC 420 10bit (the lowest quality codec it has fyi). I like powerdirector 365 and do not wish to switch editor's. Can someone let me know if Cyberlink will add these in the future (and possibly when) ? If not why would an editor leave these codecs out from a camera company that owns a majority share of the market place? I mean there is Apple ProRes HQ 422 then why not the high end canon codecs then? Thank you for all your educational videos they have helped but now I may have to switch and don't really want to. Love your channel keep up the fine job you are doing here.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

These are questions for CyberLink and I don't work for CyberLink. There is no way for me to know when or if they will add those codecs. My opinion is that cost and target audience drive the decision on which codecs they will include. If CyberLink is targeting beginning to pro editors who use prosumer cameras I don't think they would pay the fees for the license to professional codecs. If CyberLink is targeting users of cinema cameras (like the C70 and C200 both of which I own) they would probably pay the fees for the professional codecs. These are just guesses so I could be totally wrong because as I said...I don't work for CyberLink. Just sharing my opinion.

Power director does not support Unicode script i.e. devnagari Indian language like Hindi and Marathi.

My experiences are terrible with the 365 version!

[@johnygthing]

Are u still active?

Ever get the feeling you are being finessed into 365? Remember kids, you will own nothing and be happy.

I loved being finessed by my wife, but by software? YUCK 🤮

The subscription model is a no-brainer for software companies. There is some kind of clause that gets them generous tax breaks if they say a product is in continual development. A lot have moved over to subscription models. At least there's is more affordable. Cheapest I can get photo and video editing from Adobe was £31/m, way too much for a hobbyist. And all companies are getting ever greedier, seen that with my grocery shop which has doubled in price since Covid and now the quantities are shrinking. They've got us all by the short and curlies unfortunately.

I'm getting back into editing, and I'm considering getting the newest version of 365, but on my previous computer I always got a pop up about the frame rate or something on the '13 software, but can you make some videos, if you haven't already, or send me links, using the newest 365, that shows how to make KZbin thumbnails and intros, along with how to get access to the license free music? Let me know if you need my email. I think you're awesome Maliek.

[@PDU_Tutorials]

Thanks for the compliment. Not at my pc but you can search YT for "PowerDirector KZbin thumbnail" "PowerDirector Intro" and see my latest videos on this topics. Once you have 365 you use the CyberLink application manager to download the music and you access it from the program.

@@PDU_Tutorials thanks

[@silverbulletfan]

Whether I get PowerDirector 365 or DirectorSuite 365, can I start by paying monthly, or do I have to pay for the first year at checkout?

[@PDU_Tutorials]

@@silverbulletfan you can do either one

[@silverbulletfan]

@@PDU_Tutorials if I reinstall the '13 program, will I still be able to upgrade to the current 365?
