Bringing a Complete Editing Studio Equipped with CyberLink’s Director Suite to Support Unique Initiative of Actor and Producer John Schneider to Promote Independent Filmmaking
Taipei, Taiwan—August 20, 2014—CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), a world leader in multimedia software, today announces a partnership with John Schneider Studios, to promote and support independent filmmakers. To cement the partnership, CyberLink has donated a complete editing workstation, equipped with the company’s high-end Director Suite. This collection of software includes PowerDirector, winner of multiple industry awards for its power, speed and polyvalence. Also included is the powerful color-grading module ColorDirector, sound enhancement module AudioDirector, and photography software PhotoDirector.
Celebrated actor and director, John Schneider, who starred in Dukes of Hazzard, along with 30 plus years of other hit TV shows and movies, recently established the movie studios in Louisiana. Offering superb, yet affordable facilities, John Schneider Studios provides a state of the art sound stage, two postproduction houses, plus 58-acres of diverse and natural settings. CyberLink’s early contribution to the studios is the first step in what is expected to be a long-term partnership.
“It is with great pleasure that CyberLink is partnering with John Schneider Studios, to help with supporting independent film making,” said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. “The goals and vision of the studios are well-aligned with our mission to provide affordable, and easy-to-use editing solutions to budget-conscious and hobbyist film makers. We look forward to working with John and his team.”
Schneider also shares that enthusiasm. “I knew when founding the studios that we would have to reach out to industry leaders to assist us with our vision. This has always been to offer complete filming facilities, backed by professional support to budget-constrained independent film makers,” he explained. “We are excited about partnering with CyberLink. The quality and complete set of editing solutions, included in the Director Suite software are quite impressive. We’re certainly looking forward to CyberLink’s support on future projects.”
