It was when I was using this software that I decided to become a video editor, not as a profession but as a means to spend my time learning something new. I enjoyed it that much so I know others will too.

I started using this software after years of using Windows Movie Maker, and found it to be fantastic in comparison to that. I all of a sudden had this huge library of transitions and effects that were not previously available to me, I started playing around with filters to add more emphasis to my editing and before you know it, I was well on my way to becoming a full-on video editor. Super easy to use too, intermediate video editors will love using this; it is not too advanced but at the same time, it is not too basic, it comes well equipped with features one would find most interesting to use.

I think there was a bit of instability to Windows 10 that it was suffering from because it would sometimes just freeze in the middle of a project and I would have to shut the program down and open it back up again.

Overall, I have used Studio for 20+ years and have found it to be an excellent educational use tool. The students have used it extensively and the ranges from simple to complex video creations is spot on. The price is excellent compare to some industry standards and there are many helpful resources, be it forums, YouTube videos or others such as Studio Backlot.

What I liked most about Pinnacle Studio is the plethora of features found in Studio Ultimate. The price is quite nice too for such a feature rich program.

I think some of the legacy features are easier to use and less cumbersome than the newest version. The titler is a bit challenging compared to earlier version. Simplicity is sometimes a good thing.

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

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

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.

Well I'm working in an online advertising agency and running a small personal YouTube channel where I offer vlogging and blogging. For that, I tried couple of software but Pinnacle Studio was my last stop. Although most of the features in this software as offered in the previous software that I used but the one feature that made it stand out of the rest is Smart Object Tracking. As I teach how to use different free stock footages to make content for YouTube by not only downloading and using them in your videos, but to edit them and make them unique, the masking is one thing that can be used to take out any object from videos to add value to your videos. The smart edge detection feature is just like cherry on the cake. There's one more that I really like about his software is the rendering time. I observed that the rendering time of Pinnacle Studio is much faster then the previous softwares that I use.

I think price is the only factor. Though the standard package still has a fair cost but it does not offer you motion tracking feature. If you want to take full benefit of this wonderful software, you must buy the ultimate package that costs $$$ which is bit heavy on pocket for personal use.

With Pinnacle Studio we are able to quickly produce rich tutorials, commercials, and documentaries utilizing its cinema-grade effects and sound library.

Pinnacle Studio has intelligent smart object tracking, video masking, and color grading features. It can record screens and videos simultaneously from 6 cameras. It comes with cinema-grade effects and a royalty-free sound library. Pinnacle Studio has the ability to import 8K and 360-degree videos. It features audio ducking, pitch scaling, and mixing of soundtracks for the 5.1 audio channel.

Does not have a software version for Macbooks and Linux systems.
