0:43 I can't stand when informative videos have music in the background blaring to the point where it's hard to focus on what you're actually saying! We don't need the corny jungle vibe children's cartoon music in the background bro! Jesus H. Christ! 🤣
I have Cyberlink Power Director 17 and have been considering switching over to Adobe Premiere Pro but I'm having a difficult time justifying the $50 a month or whatever it is for Adobe. I've recently been working on my channel and my content and I don't want to spend a couple years or more with Cyberlink all for me to finally decide that it's not the right choice for me long term. I'm not that good with Cyberlink since I've barely messed with it despite owning it for years.. I just don't want to find out years from now that I should've made the decision to switch to Adobe sooner. I really hate the fact that I can't just buy Adobe outright! The monthly subscription thing is stupid! As an option rather than buying it outright? Sure.. but to have no option to buy Adobe outright is terrible and I'm sick of all these software companies that keep pulling this subscription based service BS!
The answer is neither. macOS Catalina and Big Sur stopped having security updates released for them in 2022 (Catalina) and 2023 (Big Sur). That, and most pieces of software don't support those operating systems anymore. Just use Linux. Simple as that.
@@brxrns1 Do you really think the only desktop interface Linux has is the terminal? Ever heard of GNOME? KDE Plasma? Cinnamon? Nearly every Linux distro has a desktop environment. That, and you don't have to use the terminal that much, with the recent influx of applications that allow to complete complicated tasks all via the press of a button in a graphical interface.
@@THEMASKEDINDIVIDUALEST2024 Are you slow? I'd like you to give an older person with very basic technical knowledge fucking GNOME. I get the appeal of Linux, with the whole fucking "you have control of the os, you can do whatever you want" but thats not gonna be fucking easy to use for people who aren't good at tech huh? macOS is simple. Its like a fucking iPad. You want an app? App Store! And fucking sure Linux would have some equivalent, but its not just 1 click and you're done.
BUY FILMORA WITHOUT A DOUBT! I paid $179 for one year of Camtasia, and although I've been using Camtasia since 2016, I couldn't get Camtasia 2024 to work at all. Camtasia offered ZERO support, so I looked for alternatives and found Filmora. It is basically the same program for $80 FOR LIFE. Also, they provide AMAZING support through email. I've asked them a number of questions, and I always get a quick, informative, accurate response. Screw TechSmith with their outrageous cost and complete lack of support. Wondershare Filmora all the way!
Thanks for the comparrison! One has to remember that Apple is bennefitting by the longer load time, because it makes people think it's about time to upgrade the hardware. It's difficult to stay in older operating systems because they get more and more incompatible. Apple is handcuffing third party developers, so they don't put up fully functional versions of their products for older OS. I remember Behringer wrote it specificly on their site, something like "We are sorry, but our hands are tied by Apple" on why they didn't put up earlier known versions of their software. The fastest and best functional Mac OS I have ever had, was Snow Leopard. But unfortunately it is virtually impossible to use nowadays, and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be abple to run it on new harware. But just imagine the speed. I think a lot of users would prefer speed and reliability over new smart features.
Its an biased comperision brothers, I am using da vinci from a long time i can clearly say that you can do professional compositing, vfx, sound design, editng, media organisation, color grading, in a single software for free. nobody who supports adobe want to let you know reality. I am not saying that adobe is bad but i want to let you know da vinci is amazing and good software to learn as well
Installed KMPlayer because I hated the "Ugly Cone" file association with VLC. The KMplayer association is a crappy loud purple but is less repulsive than the orange traffic cone. KMPlayer, however, changed the filetype description in file explorer from the simple "MP4" to display an excessively long "KMP - "MP4 Audio/Video File". I can't find any way to change this without disassociating the filetype, or going into the registry to change it. I don't want to do that, and I understand that any registry change would be changed back with updates to the app. This sucks - why do app developers think they have to completely take over my PC without user options?

Powerdirector 365 has gone downhill since Sept 2023 when Cyberlink decided to push a ton of awful and buggy updates. It's as if the software was never tested. Additional button clicks everywhere, removal of existing functionality; an overall mess if you ask me. I've spent quite a bit of time learning PD365 and it's unfortunate because I've been trying out different software to replace PD365. Cyberlink has been sending out updates once to twice a month to fix/change the software, but they end up removing/breaking even more items. Unfortunately, I have to give this software a 2 star now. I no longer recommend this software.
They both are using the sane NG Studio engine. Corel never made either of these programs. VideoStudio was made by Unleaded and sold to Corel Pinnacle was is own company but Avid owned it when Corel bought it around ver 16. However, I have chatted with lots of folks that claim one is better. But now Pinnacle just has more stuff with it and they both use the same NG Studio engine. If they lock up chances are your computer can not handle the load you are putting on it.
I agree with many others here… It crashes quite often. It also has memory losses, especially after software updates, when opening older projects: It cannot find files anymore although the are still at the same location on HDD. I have the very old and never updated Windows Movie Maker which is thousand times more stable than Cyberlink’s PowerDirector, on Windows 11. Cyberlink’s software cannot even restore projects after it crashed, you need to press the Save button by yourself all the time. I could not find an „autosave“ feature.
I like Spotify but when I use it for music when I’m walking with my phone in my pocket, after only a few songs it just STOPS. That’s why when I want music to keep playing for 1 - 2 hours without stopping, I use AMAZON MUSIC 🎶! I don’t know why Spotify just stops….
