Don't bother. Spent more time restarting the app than I did editing the video.
 Pinnacle 11 FRUSTRATING!!!! December 22, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
You get a lot for what you pay. A lot of features and a lot of grief. It offered to let me download the 11.1 upgrade -- this resulted in an information free error message and a system lockup. The user interface is very unintuitive. I went to use the contrast/brightness feature and found they want me to pay another $49 for it! I can't believe that. If true I will return Studio 11 and go for Adobe Premier.
Pinnalce Studio 11 and AVCHD video December 22, 2007

I bought a Panasonic HDC-SD5 which records on SDHC flash cards. An enclosed disc for Pinnacle Stdio 11 was enclosed in the purchase. It was a free trial which could be upgraded to Studio 11 plus which was touted to be able to be compatible with the HDC-SD5 and also with the new format AVCHD. I beleived them and immediately bought the upgrade for 79.95 and downloaded the key codes for full functionality of the Pinnacle Studio 11 plus.
BOTTOM LINE.... It is INCOMPATIBLE with the Panasonic HDC-SD5 Flash Camcoder. It WILL NOT recognize the camera via the USB connection (Pinnacle states in their Knowledge Base that their product cannot recognize cameras thru USB,,,, only 1394 connection). It WILL NOT 'read' the Flash card containing video recorded by the HDC-SD5 my PC's card reader. The only video which it recognized in my PC was the downloaded sample video which came with the Pinnacle software and a MPEG2 video which I created.
None of the AVCHD files which were created by the HDC-SD5 could be viewed by this Pinnacle software.
I could not get anything to work!!! I emailed Pinnacle and to their credit, Kate from tech support began to 'help' me with my problem. She directed me to their knowledge base, which I had already exhausted. She then instructed me to connect the video camcorder with a 1394 connection (it does not have one). She then got me to download a Belarc program which would tell her what system I was running, etc. Also asked for MSINFO and DXdiag files... then told me that the Pinnacle software could indeed hookup via a USB port.
Kate then directed as follows:
"I apologized for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Using Studio 11 you should be able to import files via USB port. You try using Windows movie maker to import the files or use the software that came with the camcorder. Then import in Studio for editing. You also try to uninstall and reinstall Studio, you may refer on the link provided below. To uninstall follow the procedure under section 2. To reinstall follow the procedure under section 3."
After this weird instruction, I uninstalled Pinnacle and told Kate that I would not pay the 79.95 for their crappy product when it showed up on my AMEX bill.
Do your self a favor and avoid this product for ACVHD camcorders.
BTW, I emailed Panasonic and chided them for including such a crappy incompatible piece of software with their HDC-SD5 and they elected NOT to respond. A friend of mine who is a Mac user says that I-movie which is bundled with his MAC opens these ACVHD files flawlessly. Wonder why Pinnacle can't accomplish this feat?!?!?
Not really what I expected December 22, 2007

I have owned and used the Studio 8 for many years and decided to upgrade it due to new features like HD and iPod conversions! The entire product looks almost exactly the same as my old version 8 with a new "face lift". The very expected iPod conversion was not even close in quality to the TMPGenc. It takes way too long to convert and the final result is poor. Together with the product came as a free bonus two volumes of their FX effects but when I tried to unlock it it says I have a wrong key code! I got absolutely no answer from my e-mails to Pinnacle requesting a solution for that unlocking key.
