Pinnacle Studio is Coolio

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Reason for choosing Pinnacle Studio

It came highly recommended by someone who has been in the video editing industry for over a decade.

Reasons for switching to Pinnacle Studio

Adobe Premier was like super expensive so it was a hard pass for me.

Studio Reviewed

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Reason for choosing Pinnacle Studio

Price, simplicity and features

Reasons for switching to Pinnacle Studio

Adobe was too expensive at the time and the learning curve was much greater. Studio also had more add-ons and was just easier to use and transfer etc.

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.

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.

Reason for choosing Pinnacle Studio

The price was lowest for the features offered.

Best video editing software for YouTubers

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Reasons for switching to Pinnacle Studio

I feel like premiere pro is more towards professional work, though it has dozen of additional features as compared to Pinnacle Studio but in my case, those features are useless for my personal project. I found Pinnacle Studio has all the important feature that can be used product quality content ito grow my YouTube channel.

Overall Pinnacle Studio Review

For those searching for a cost-effective, flexible, and feature-rich video editing program, Pinnacle Studio is a solid choice.Although it might not be the ideal option for professional use, it can be a fantastic place to start and produce excellent results for someone who wants to learn video editing or who makes films as a hobby.

CONS

-Fewer export options than those of competing software-Some cutting-edge features lack some of the polish of more expensive equivalents.-It is not compatible with MacOS.-May not have the necessary compositing and motion graphics tools.

Reasons for switching to Pinnacle Studio

I always liked to explore software before drawing conclusions, you could say it was experimental.

Excellent video editor

Overall my experience with the software is very good. I've done many professional quality edits

PROS

The Software offers several features that enrich video editing.

CONS

The Software is very demanding on the computer's hardware. During editing, other tasks cannot be performed on the computer if it does not have powerful hardware.

Reason for choosing Pinnacle Studio

The look of the software pleased me more. The tutorials also proved to be more effective in showing the software's functionality.

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.

"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.

delusione e soddisfazioni

la mia esperienza con la pinnacle è metà positiva è maggiorparte negativa

PROS

nell'ambito del montaggio è molto vasto di effetti e transizioni bellissime e sovrapposizioni molto soddisfacenti con varie sfumature da inserire

CONS

unica cosa che non mi piace della vostra azienda che a mio parere dovevate rimanere per conto vostro e nn vendervi all'azienda della corel. Mi dispiace dirlo ma da quando siete nelle mani della corel vi siete persi proprio. E Un'altra cosa che non mi va giù in ogni versione rimuovete effetti come la red-giant che avevate nel 17 nelle versioni precedenti non l'ho trovata più.Non so che sfizio c'è togliere dei pacchetti della red giant visto che siete sempre della stessa famiglia per colpa vostra uno deve installare due pinnacle per lavorare. Mi dispiace dirvelo su questo mi avete deluso moltissimo

Un editor de video que sigue mejorando

Desde una instalación rápida y sencilla pasando por un rápido comienzo a la hora de editar video. Usa menos recursos y va más rápìdo que versiones anteriores, o que otros software con los que también trabajo.

PROS

Actualmente he adquirido el Pinnacle Studio 26, y una de las cosas positivas que he podido ver, es que esta versión no musa tantos recursos y por lo anto la memoria RAM no se ve tan afectada. Esto hace que la edición vaya mucho más fluida y los tiempos de trabajo son inferiores y por lo tanto mejores.

CONS

Supongo que aún puede mejorar, sobre todo en cuanto a las nuevas tendencias de dar paso a la inteligencia artificial a la hora de editar video, pero entiendo que esto llegará con las próximas versiones y/o actualizaciones. Por lo demás poco que decir, dado que cumple sobradamente con mis necesidades a la hora de hacer ediciones sencillas, que es lo que más realizo.

Reason for choosing Pinnacle Studio

Como he dicho antes, Pinnacle Studuio 26 parece estar hecho para el tipo de trabajos de edición que realizamos, ya que los recursos y posibilidades son muchos, y sin embargo funciona rápido y de manera muy simple.

Reasons for switching to Pinnacle Studio

Está en un nivel intermedio en cuanto a posibilidades entre ambos software de los mencionados, y va muy rápido y con los recursos que realmente estaba usando. DaVinci es más completo, pero va más despacio en mi ordenador, y OBS aunque va bien, se me queda un poco corto en cuanto a posibilidades. La versión Pinnacle Studuio 26 parece hecha a medida para mis proyectos.

Best bang for the buck!

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.

Golden Old Timer Editor

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

Ease of use and lightweight. I knew there are many new software with lighter size nowadays, but only a few can be compared in functionality with this one.

CONS

Online support sometimes is not on the place.

Un editor video buono ma con troppi problemi

PROS

Il motivo principale che mi ha fatto scegliere di utilizzare Pinnacle è stato sicuramente quello di avere un editor completo e ricco di funzionalità molto facile da usare. L'editor dei testi è molto comodo e semplice da utilizzare e offre molte possibilità di personalizzazione

CONS

I bug e la lentezza del programma anche con computer più performanti è sicuramente il problema principale del programma. Non è possibile utilizzarlo a livello professionale sia per le funzionalità comunque limitate ma soprattutto per i problemi che interrompono continuamente il workflow.

professional but accessible to all

Very positive, pleasant and professional experience

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
