Cyberlink’s Shutterstock library accessible to all Director users

For the first time ever, all Director Family 365 customers can access CyberLink’s full collection of Shutterstock premium royalty-free content of high quality photos, video, and audio. 

CyberLink announced this month the availability of their entire Shutterstock premium content library across all Director Family 365 products, making the extensive royalty-free collection of high quality photos, video, and audio available to users for free with unlimited access. If you’re on a lifetime license and not the subscription model, this does not apply to you, apparently, another sign that the company continues to push for the subscription model.

This expanded collection is integrated directly into the software’s library for a streamlined workflow and easy user access. The company says that “all content will be available for both personal and commercial use. The new release from CyberLink also features brand new ad templates for PowerDirector 365 Business and the AdDirectorapp so users can now leverage a whopping 600 pre-designed templates combined with an extensive library of Shutterstock content for creating professional-grade video ads.”
