 Still The Industry Best April 23, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Unlike the posts above, I'm actually going to talk about Studio 11, instead of previous versions of Studio that had a few big bugs.
I have tried several video editing software programs, Sony Vegas, Corel, and Pinnacle and I have to say, all of them have some bugs, but Pinnacle ultimately is the best. Ultimate is my favorite version as it comes with lots of nifty special features their competitors don't have, plus it comes with a free green drop cloth for "green screen" filming.
I specifically like Pinnacle over the other video editing software programs because of the user interface, which supports both dual and widescreen monitors. Personally, I find it the best looking and very well laid-out. I also like the pair of buttons labeled "Show Video" and "Show Photos", which allows you to import your media files quickly and easily. These make only the media you're currently working with visible, unlike other programs.
Bottom line: All home video editing software has problems, but Pinnacle Ultimate is the best out of all of them - hands down.
 OK but cooler stuff you have to buy April 21, 2008
Really easy product except if you want the really cool transitions and effects. You'll have to spend $50 each on the packs of transitions and or effects packs. I like that it comes with a green screen so you wouldn't have to paint the walls. If your use to other programs (which I still have Ulead 10)it's a little stupid. Haven't really used it for any real editing, except for a photo show. So what I've been doing with it isn't much. I'll have to spend more time on it or more money. Which I will not do. Making DVD on this is a little trickey, but easy if you click on the right buttons. So I'm not judging this as bad product, just a very expensive investment in video and picture editing.
 Good Product April 14, 2008
Havent totally got into this software completely, however I would HIGHLY recommend the tutorial CD you can buy for this....For newbies, its not totally user friendly, however after purchasing the "how to" cd, it definitely helps on how to utilize this product...
 Its hard for me to say but Windows Movie Maker is infinitely better April 4, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've used Windows Movie Maker which is allright, I wanted to get something better to edit some movies which WMM could not open. I got the Ultimate version thinking it would be semi-professional at least. Turns out, this software is for beginners, if you want to make a movie that has balloons popping out in a 1996 graphics kinda way this is for you. All the transitions, graphics are cheesy and lame.
Another thing you'll find common(read some of the other reviews) is that its buggy, tends to crash and the buttons are very uninformative. The 'Transitions' button has a flash symbol and right below it is a button with a big 'T' which stands for all the balloon popping, Its a Birthday kinda graphics.
Ok, heres my biggest gripe. I got the $120 Ultimate and all it has is: the $80 studio, one cd with a noise canceling software(which is OK) and another cd with "lots of special effects, graphics and music". Turns out that all the extra special effects and graphics are locked and you have to pay $10 extra to unlock individual effects. Imagine paying 10bux to unlock a graphic that has "Its a girl" in bright green, hell I can make one better in MSPaint or something.
I'd say don't buy it this software is almost like getting robbed. Hey wait....I got robbed
Waste of money March 23, 2008
I have never been a fan of Pinnacle Systems but I saw this version that had some included special effects programs that I thought were worth the price. I soon discovered that it was the same old Pinnacle story. They make their editing programs overly complicated and full of glitches.
As always, Pinnacle put emphasis on transisions instead of solid editing and it shows. I unistalled the program, put the disk away and chalked up the cost as a waste.
