 oh, all the hours and money I'd like back! May 15, 2008

I began a recent project a year ago. It was a 30 minute long movie and it should have taken a month to edit. First, version 9 was what I was using and that screwed up sound and had really jerky and disfunctional playback. Then I blew money on 11. It definitely seems more stable than version 9, the playback is better and the sound works better in edit mode, but when burning it totally screwed up the sound balance of my movie. I worked on it way too long and spent more money on sound cards and the different sound options trying to get it to work. When the sound problem wasn't enough, it also decided to not burn the last minute of movie every time I tried to burn it. It even doesn't work when I break it up into 10-minute pieces. I am really tired of dealing with this software and would not recommend it unless you want to have heart problems, anger issues, and hair loss. Good luck finding something good- I'll probably be looking too!
Shame on Pinnacle and Avid May 1, 2008
I have been using Pinnacle's Studio Products since Version 5 I think. It's kind of like have a very bright kid with lots of potential but they are not living up to it. I still keep hoping with each upgrade that they will get right. Well, Version 11 doesn't do it for me. Rending is a major problem. It doesn't matter what kind of cool effects you can do it if you can't rending properly. Support just told me another "work around". Copy and paste my project into a new file... that didn't work either. Shame on Pinnacle and Avid!
 Tricks to using Pinnacle Studio 11 April 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Studio 11 lets you work at the level you want. I finished a short movie 2 hour after installing PS11. Simple to do after watching the introduction video PS11 provides. I liked PS11 Plus so much I then bought Ultimate to get the additional plug-ins (mainly "Sound Soap".)
To be a more accomplished movie maker, also buy and READ Jan Ozer's "Visual Quickstart Guide to Pinnacle Studio 11." Jan tell how to setup PS11, how to use it, how to avoid problems, everything each version includes, and how to take better movies. The PS11 online help, and the printed manual PS11 provides are junk!
I resently upgraded my PC and video card. PS11 and many of its' plug-ins worked OK on my old PC (but quad hardware lets you get to the stars faster.) I am now using 64 bit Vista and PS11 works well. I loaded all the disks, downloaded the updates, and unlocked the plug-ins in less than 1 hour.
Still The Industry Best April 23, 2008

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.
