Thus, all of my travel YouTube vlogs are almost incomplete without PowerDirector on my MacBook Pro. Factually speaking, this Mac video editor is meant to come to the rescue when it seems to be no other option to make fast video edits for ads on Instagram or TikTok, while allowing me to make the critical editions to all of the raw clips just perfectly.
Well tailored for everyone, no matter whether it is class and experience skills with Apple laptops or an oldie desktop, PowerDirector allows setting the most desired options quickly during video post-production. It is compatible with macOS, which is just super fine with me— a Mac use who does any kind of post-production on her MacBook.

Easy to adjust
I really like all the flexibility that PowerDirector 365 for Mac offers me for this low price. With the app, I will take care of any task I need to: from motion tracking up to stunning visual effects and titles, all sorts of customization features for my product Insta videos, date-stamping video footage of travels, or even adding some text overlay to indicate an important place in the clip.
Pro video editing tools
The software offers a wide array of advanced tools, using which I can take my travel videos to the next level.
I can add animated titles, use various effects and transitions to move smoothly from scene to scene, and more. Besides, PowerDirector has some features of Adobe audio editing software, so you can improve audio and let your viewers have an immersive experience.
Library of music
PowerDirector Mac version comes with a huge library of royalty-free music. Users can easily choose a perfect soundtrack for their travel videos. It is awesome, as there is one less thing I have to worry about—no licensing charges or copyright issues.
Easy to use
Navigating the library to find music that suits the mood and theme of my video is quite simple. This free video editor for YouTube is incredibly user-friendly, making it ideal for beginners like me who are new to video editing. The interface is intuitive, so users can grasp basic editing functions quickly and edit their travel videos.
Incompatibility with high-res footage
A big problem for me, especially since I'm a YouTuber who makes travel videos, is that PowerDirector doesn’t support 4K footage. I often record my videos in 4K to get better visual quality. When I tried to edit these videos in PowerDirector for Mac, it didn't work properly.
Some functions are missing for me
Since PowerDirector doesn't have an image stabilization feature, I had some trouble smoothing out shaky footage. The result didn't turn out as smooth as I wanted.
Also, it took a lot of time to work with multiple clips as one file because I had to import and organize each clip separately. Besides, due to the lack of audio scrubbing, it was hard to edit the audio in my videos exactly how I wanted.
Make your travel videos even more creative & eye-catching with the collection of pre-made LUTs for PowerDirector. They allow adding brightness, saturation, and creative effects to the clips. The best part is that you can do it with just a few clicks using your video editing software for Windows and Mac.
