PowerDirector 365 leans hard into AI assistance. The new Agentic Editor takes a plain-language request, then plans, generates and edits the result before handing you a normal timeline to fine-tune. Auto Edit accepts up to 100 clips, picks the best moments and syncs them to music, and AI Storytelling arranges clips into a rough cut with narration. For cleanup, Video Quick Actions scan for stabilization, exposure, noise and audio problems, while AI Video Object Removal, AI Background Removal and audio denoise fix footage that would otherwise need a reshoot. AI Auto Reframe resizes a whole project for YouTube, TikTok or Instagram, and the AI Music Generator creates background tracks by mood, genre and duration. It runs on Windows 11, Windows 10 and macOS. We could not confirm a USD price from our location, so pricing is pending. Editors who want fine manual control may prefer Resolve, but beginners who want a head start will find a lot here.
Who it is for
Windows users who want AI to build a first cut and fix common footage problems.
