Cyberlink offer two kind of version: the basic deluxe and the ultra version that we are tested. Both version have huge memory packet 646MB, so it is better to buy at store than to download them on their website.
The difference between those version are in HD support system. You can edit movie to DVD through the deluxe version. But if you want to make AVCHD file or to edit to Blu-Ray, the ultra version it he one you need. Because Cyberlink has been in partnership with Blu-ray, make the Ultra version more familiar with that technology (Blu-Ray). Beside that, Cyberlink also offer application packet creative menu and 3D motion menu as an additional menu.
The most visually clear change in version 7 is located on the background that has granite atmosphere. Trend that have been done by other photo editor application. Because the background will help your eye to catch the color change more fit.
The work for capturing video also having some change, with detecting more specific number of those graphic source (HDV,DV,TV,DTV,Webcam,Microphone, CD audio, Or DVD) in relationship with file import. Also there are direct link option to Flickr and Freesound. This will allow you to use music and video free from royalty that those sites has for the benefit of your editing work.
Once the content is opened, you will feel the editing work is much more pleasing than the old version. Now you can have 6 track of picture played all together. And for the video effect work, so user-friendly. Those thing can help you increase control also can be an indication of change that Cyberlink made to Powerdirector 7.
