When you first open the program, the interface gives you choices for editing modes, including Storyboard Mode, Full Mode, Slideshow creator, Auto Mode, and learning Center.

For example, the Capture mode is now a menu option instead of on the main screen as it isn’t being used as much as some other features. The company is consistently updating the interface and rearranging things to make it easier to use. And while PowerDirector may not rank as high in simplicity as something like Adobe Premiere Elements or iMovie, it’s definitely neat and tidy. It’s difficult for any program to provide a comprehensive set of tools in a cohesive manner and without clutter. And PowerDirector 20 and 365 continue this tradition. One of the highlighted features from Cyberlink PowerDirector 18 Ultra and Cyberlink PowerDirector 19 Ultra was the software’s intuitive interface.
