The 3D Album Picture Pro LE application can edit images and save them as 3D slideshows, albums or in a user-defined layout. There is also a feature for capturing screenshots from movies and DVDs, allowing the user to save and convert them. Finally, the application also offers editing and scanning features, as well as functionality for sorting within folders using a miniature preview.

Excellent eyesight is a prerequisite for using Power2Go and Power Director 3. Before these applications are ready for use, the user has to enter the product key, which is printed in minuscule characters on the DVD. Power Director 3 is a video-editing suite consisting of four modules. As the name implies, the capture module can import movies and sounds from DV, TV, web cams, microphone, and CD, and then save them in the AVI, MPEG1 or MPEG2 formats.
