The one reason I kept it on my computer as long as I did was for the chroma key function. What are some of it's many flaws? For starters, it one has very few useful effects. Most of the effects and transitions (and there are hundreds of them) are cutesy and so amateurish in concept that one would never see them in a true professional production.
Pros: It is affordable for what it does and it does have very intuitive interface. I've found many ways to beat the system with this software.
I purchased Studio 9 and ended up throwing it into the garbage. If they could release something as bad as Studio 9 I recommend not trusting these crooks again.
Software constantly locks up or crashes. Customer support is non-existant. The main purpose of this software is not to edit video, but rather to try to sell you upgrades and "premium content". It won't recognize either of my DVD drives, so I can't use it to burn DVD's after making videos.
I know software. I know how it should work when it is well designed and I know when software is poorly designed. Pinnacle is the MOST disappointing software I've ever purchased. It is buggy.
Pinnacle cannot render itself out of a paper bag. Not being able to correctly render your own project files is pretty pathetic.....
Pros: VERY FEW. Cons: More than I have time to mention....
I tried to make the hd movie from my JVC HD cam, frist, it can not detect my cam, second, too many code to enter to unknock the feature,third, not all of them work, it took me whole month and still to work on it, I tried every think to made it detect my cam, and it can not read tod format, I owen Pinacle 7,8,9,10 they all work good but the 11, forget the suport, it take you century to wait on the phone, and the answer of your question is reinstore, and still not work.
I wont dwell to long on this review. If you are serious about your editing then STAY AWAY from this product. Horrible at handling large files, which if your into HD video this can be a serious issue. To be completely honest there is free software available that will load and partially encode a video before Studio even gets the same video loaded after selecting it.
Pinnacle's Serial Numbers and Activation Keys expire after two years. This applies to all Pinnacle software, not just software downloaded online.
