"One of the best"

A great video editing software, definitely one of the best I've used. Importing clips is pretty straightforward, and you can upload videos straight from a link skipping the tedious downloading and uploading clips process, and most of all, you save on storage—that with so many great features.

Pros:

Pinnacle has many impressive editing features and effects such as motion tracking, stop-motion, noise reduction, and Multicam editing. There is 8K support, and you can also make GIF. the tutorials make the learning process even easier.

Cons:

That it's not available for Mac which is a big minus.

Great product for full length productions

I have used this product to create full length productions and have been able to blend 2 camera views well and easily.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

It can edit clips easily. It has a good selection of transitions. It can be used to make full length videos

Cons:

How to get assets into the video timeliness is not easy and if you don't use the program regularly it's hard to remember how. I haven't been able to use the last 2 upgrades because the equipment minimum requirements have passed me up and it puts too much of a strain on my "what was a great computer 3 years ago" system.

Reasons for choosing Pinnacle Studio

The price was lowest for the features offered.

Great for simple video editing

For occasional needs, it's the perfect tool with little learning curve to get started. When you needs become regular and projects more complex, it's a frustrating tool as you keep waiting, restarting, reloading due to it's many bugs. Version upgrade can make things worse instead of better... I went on with Vegas Movie Studio (then Vegas Pro) right after my frustration level reached it's limits. It was a tradeoff though : there was a steep learning curve with Vegas before I got my ideal workflow speed. So again, Pinnacle Studio was the perfect choice to get started quickly.

Pros:

It was my first video editing software, I've tried many tools before buying this one. I like that it's beginner friendly, all the basic features are easy to use and the UI makes sense. It's also multi-track capable and the ultimate edition has plenty of advanced features, giving you enough flexibility when you want to level up your movie skills.

Cons:

The software is not stable : Sometimes it's all good, sometimes it slows down, freezes, or even crash. You never know if it's your project or your last update, the support is useless in that regard and will ask you to reinstall over and over. Some advanced features are not user friendly so I'd recommend grabbing the box version instead of the digital download to have your manual handy.

Pros:

This is a fairly sophisticated program with many of the features found in much more expensive applications. The Ultimate version comes with so many bells and whistles that I don't need anything else. My final product looks polished and professional.

Cons:

Free tutorials for learning the many features of the program would be extremely helpful. There are far more tools that I don't understand than those I do.

This is the oldest software I used in video editing, and overall, this one is very good, both in weight and capabilities. Integration between plugins also very helpful, even when they are from 3rd party companies.

Pros:

I have only used this software in the trial month, but I am convinced to buy the full version! I am a video lover and I like to create memory videos for my family. I've tried several video editors, but none like Pinnacle offers me the possibility of customization, insertion of writing, animations and beautiful transitions. It is a very professional but easy to use software

Cons:

Sometimes the program "stuck" right at the end of the video export process, forcing me to re-export which can take hours. Also if it cost less, I would have bought it much sooner
