CyberLink Precise-Cut Technology Improves Video Editing Accuracy

Convenient trim bar, with zoom-in function, lets users edit with exceptional precision

Taipei, Taiwan----Mar. 9, 2004----CyberLink Corp. (Taiwan OTC: 5203), a leading developer of digital video software and training solutions, introduced today its Precise-Cut technology that can ensure more accurate trimming of unwanted video by allowing users to magnify a section on the trim bar.

Precise-Cut technology is ideal for long clips; it improves users control over the editing process by offering a precise method of trimming unwanted sections of video frame-by-frame. The results are more satisfying as Precise-Cut offers the ability to enhance the quality and professionalism of users' creations. There is also a split video function that enables users to quickly cut any video clip into two pieces.

Video can also be trimmed using the Media Editor window by magnifying a section of video on the trim bar. This function makes it ideal for editing long or complex video clips. The Media Editor is a large, resizable preview window that offers a scalable timeline. A simply click can enable the Precise-Cut magnifier to zoom in or out on the timeline.

"Precise-Cut technology has been adopted in PowerDirector 3. It ensures more accurate trimming of unwanted video by allowing users to magnify a section of video on the trim bar," said Brian Lin, product manager of CyberLink. "This is what makes it ideal for editing long video clips with detailed precision."
