CyberLink today released the latest version of its video
editing software, PowerDirector 9.
PowerDirector 9 is designed to make the editing process not only
easier, but also faster. The software features
performance-driven technologies including CyberLink's new
TrueVelocity Engine. TrueVelocity editing technologies take
advantage of native 64-bit OS support and CPU/GPU components to
reduce video processing time, while powerful tools such as the
new unified keyframe control and an improved timeline editor
allow users to create demanding and complex video productions.
Key features of CyberLink PowerDirector 9 include:

memory resources reducing latency issues, improving system

video processing smoother and faster by splitting tasks into
smaller segments and simultaneously processing them across all
available CPU threads.

Accelerator taps into the power of Intel, AMD and NVIDIA video
processing technology for hardware-enhanced video decoding and
encoding.
