TrueVelocity - The fastest rendering engine in its class

• TrueVelocity leverages both hardware and software technologies to speed up achieve video processing acceleration. At the Architectural level, TrueVelocity is optimized for modern CPU and GPGPU and maximize memory allocation and usage. While through Feature Optimization, TrueVelocity reduces latency and improves overall effectiveness.
• PowerDirector 9 is the world's first native 64-bit consumer video editor. While a 32-bit system can only use up to 4GB of RAM, TrueVelocity native 64-bit engine breaks the barrier and lets users utilize all the memory in the system in order for you to work on multiple HD video concurrently. TrueVelocity 64 also reduces latency and improves system efficiency as HD footages load faster and smoother than before.
• With TrueVelocity 64 engine, PowerDirector processes more videos with much faster performance than its 32-bit counterparts.

TrueVelocity Parallel

• TrueVelocity Parallel enables PowerDirector 9 to improve overall performance including previewing, effects rendering, format conversions, and outputting of videos.
• TrueVelocity Parallel fully utilizes all available CPU threads to enable ultra fast video production. The highly parallelized engine maximizes Hyper-Threading performance and helps users to produce better videos in less time.

TrueVelocity Accelerator

• TrueVelocity Accelerator improves the overall video editing experience by making it faster and more efficient. TrueVelocity Accelerator further enhances production speed as it utilizes hardware encoding and decoding technology to deliver higher performance during HD video editing. TrueVelocity Accelerator is both optimized for DxVA hardware decoders on Intel, nVidia and AMD hardware and GPGPU acceleration on nVidia CUDA and AMD Parallel Processing technologies.

• TrueVelocity Accelerator is also optimized for Fast Copy Technology resulting in faster performance on all Intel, AMD and nVidia processors.

TrueVelocity Ultra Seek
TrueVelocity Ultra Seek drastically improves seeking time while previewing FullHD MPEG-2 and H.264 videos. Now you can experience ultra fast response when scrubbing through movie clips, making the whole video editing process smoother and with better precision.

TrueVelocity Fast Render
TrueVelocity Faster Render intelligently recognizes the portions of a movie clip that have been modified and only renders those portions during production and not the entire clip. As a result, you save tremendous time when performing simple editing tasks. TrueVelocity Fast Render is optimized for both H.264 and MPEG-2 video files, including HD content.
