User Testimonials
	Pinnacle Studio	PowerDirector
Likelihood to Recommend	Alludo It is easy to use with very little explanation. It seems well suited for a creative individual looking to make a professional video. Incentivized TP Timothy Paroz Pastor Read full review	CyberLink Corp. Definitely suited for a business that has a presence on the internet. It is a relatively easy program to use and will make your video quality look professional. It doesn't matter what business you are into, if video is something that will take your company to another level than this is a good program to get the job done. Incentivized Chad Von Dette Director / Lead Presenter Read full review
Pros	Alludo Allows for quick and easy "commercials" for our announcements.. Used to create pre and post worship service videos to help people begin and end worship. Used to create special videos for special music. Incentivized TP Timothy Paroz Pastor Read full review	CyberLink Corp. Quick and easy video and audio editing. Great transition options. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Alludo Importing files is easy but sometimes difficult to locate. This might be user error but making folders within the imported files would be nice to have. I don't use special effects that often but sometimes they are difficult to find again. Incentivized TP Timothy Paroz Pastor Read full review	CyberLink Corp. The advertisements to upgrade need to go. I understand you guys gotta make money but I already paid for the product I have and I don't need a popup every time I open the program telling me there is an upgrade available for $xx.99. Better documentation on how to use certain plugins. DirectorZone is pointless. Incentivized Matthew James Junior Systems Administrator \| POS Programming Specialist Read full review
Usability	Alludo It could use slight improvements. But overall a wonderful product. Incentivized TP Timothy Paroz Pastor Read full review	CyberLink Corp. No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Alludo I've only had to call one time in several years and they were supportive and helpful. Incentivized TP Timothy Paroz Pastor Read full review	CyberLink Corp. Again, I haven't tried a whole lot of different video editing software over the years, but of the ones I tried, PowerDirector seemed to be the right fit for me and the team I worked with. It helped solve the need for tutorial videos and it allowed us to create a bunch of videos in a very small time frame. I recommend it especially for people without a lot of video editing experience Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Alludo I have not used other products like Pinnacle Studio. Incentivized TP Timothy Paroz Pastor Read full review	CyberLink Corp. I choose PD because it is user-friendly and easy to learn. Incentivized Neil Sipe IT & Digital Marketing Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	Alludo I believe using Pinnacle Studio and what I produced from it aided in doubling our worship attendance. No negative impacts. Incentivized TP Timothy Paroz Pastor Read full review	CyberLink Corp. Fast turn around on editing. Incentivized Vijay Kumar Founder & CEO Read full review
