AI handles the edit. • Agentic Editor: Describe what you want. It generates clips, cleans footage and applies effects from one request, then puts the result on your timeline with the right tool open. • Video Edit by Chat: Describe a style or drop in a reference photo, and PowerDirector restyles your footage to match. Keep chatting to refine the result. • AI Storytelling: Drop in your clips. It orders them, writes narration and builds a rough cut you can work from. • Auto Edit: Add up to 100 clips. Auto Edit picks the best moments, syncs them to music and gives you a first cut. ■ AI CREATION Generate footage, motion, characters and music. • AI Text/Image to Video: Describe the scene or drop in a reference photo, and get a clip that matches it. • AI Cinematic Shorts: One photo becomes a short with cinematic camera movement, natural sound and matching music. • Character Motion Swap: Record a performance once and transfer the motion onto different characters or avatars. • AI Music Generator: Generate original background music by mood, genre and exact length. • AI Talking Avatar: Turn a photo into a talking presenter. Choose from 260+ AI voices and languages, or use your own voice profile. ■ AI EDITING Fix it. Remove it. Optimize it. • Video Quick Actions: Scan your clips for shaky footage, exposure, noise and audio problems, then fix them in one guided step. • AI Video Object Removal: Remove people or objects even while they move, without reshooting. • AI Background Removal: Cut subjects out without a green screen and drop them into any scene. • AI Video Enhancement: Upscale, denoise and brighten footage that came out soft or dark. • AI Auto Reframe: Create once and share everywhere, with the subject kept centered for each platform. ■ PRO TIMELINE TOOLS AI speeds up the edit.

Delete a word to cut the clip. • Text to Speech: Turn a script into natural narration, in English or other languages, without a recording session. • AI Audio Denoise: Detect and remove unwanted noise in one click. ■ ASSETS AND EXPORT 130 million stock assets, titles and effects, included. • Royalty-Free Stock Library: Videos, photos and music from Getty Images and Meta Sound Collection, licensed for commercial and personal use.
