Steps
1Steady a shaky shot
Choose Video Stabilizer in the list on the left, check its box at the top, and set Correction level.
To see how much the image is cropped, click the split view button at the bottom left of the panel. If one camera shot every clip on the track, click Apply to All at the bottom to use the same setting on all of them.

2Clear up grain
Choose Video Denoise in the list on the left, check its box at the top, and set Denoise Degree.
Compare the original and corrected versions before settling on a setting. Too much denoising removes fine detail along with the grain.

3Straighten the lens
Choose Lens Correction in the list on the left and check its box at the top. Then straighten bowed lines with Fisheye distortion and brighten dark corners with Vignette amount and Vignette midpoint.
Judge the fisheye slider on the edges of a straight object, not the middle of the frame.

4Sharpen soft detail
Choose Sharpness in the list on the left and drag the Sharpness slider. For a clip that's slightly out of focus, you can push it past 100.

5Or let AI enhance the clip
Choose AI Video Enhancement in the list on the left and click the AI Video Enhancement button in the panel. In the window that opens, select any of the four options: Lighting, Denoise, Frame Interpolation, and Upscaler. Then click Enhance at the bottom right.
To enhance only part of the clip, drag the yellow handles at both ends of the bar under the preview before you click Enhance. A section can run up to 3 minutes.

We tested these steps in PowerDirector 365 versions 24.0.7 and 25.0.10 on Windows.
