I recently used CyberLink ColorDirector to edit some video clips and I was very impressed. The program was very easy to use and the features were great. I was able to easily split, join, merge, rotate, mirror, crop, and pan the visuals and add various effects to change the colors, sharpness, contrast, and enhance the lighting. I also found the different types of transitions between sections to be very useful. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone looking to edit video clips.
Cyberlink ColorDirector is a professional tool specifically designed to help you deal with any color-related issue that your videos may show. You can either apply any of the numerous color presets provided, or make your own corrections manually. All the tools provided are neatly structured into specific sections – white balance, tone and color enhancements, dynamic exposure, etc.
Its attractive and intuitive interface comes also with a video timeline for you to add as many files as needed. Actually, you will soon find out that opening your video files is not enough – you will need to drag and drop them into the timeline to be allowed to edit them. ColorDirector comes with a large video player, making it much easier for you to identify and correct issues that affect only to a small area of the frame. Another display option is the “comparison view”, which will give you a snapshot of both the original and the edited frame, so that you can preview the results.
A section that I find particularly appealing is the “regional adjustments” section. Here you can apply various color adjustments to a specific area of the screen or a specific object only. This will let you create interesting and creative accent effects, change the color of the background, make a figure or object more prominent, etc.
The program offers you an extensive list of color presets that will allow you to apply the most incredible color effects to your videos with just one click. You can use them as the basis for other more specific corrections that you may wish to apply manually, or they may turn out to be just the color combination you were looking for. Either way, all the changes you apply to your videos will not become permanent until you decide to make them so. “Non-destructive editing” means exactly that – all your adjustments are taken like simulations until you are sure enough about the results as to save them to disk.
The list of features offered by Cyberlink ColorDirector is simply too long to reproduce here – suffice it to say that whatever adjustments or enhancements you decide to apply to your videos using this tool, its professional-looking output will never disappoint you.
