PowerDirector 8’s preview performance was excellent, playing seven simultaneous AVCHD streams on our test PC. Clearly, there’s more to video rendering than 32- and 64-bit code, but the bottom line is PowerDirector 9 Ultra64 is the fastest consumer editing software we’ve seen. This 32-bit application took 46 minutes, registering only 30% on the CPU meter. We replicated the project using our current favourite consumer video-editing software, Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum HD 10. Version 8 fluctuated between 20% and 60%, but version 9 went full throttle at 96%. The significant difference was CPU usage.
