Review by A. H.

I’ve been using Video Studio Pro for the last three iterations. This easily is the best revision to date.

I’m using this on a machine I built with an AMD FX-8320 (eight core) processor with 16 gb of RAM. I’m using Windows 8.1 64-bit. The 64-bit code runs fast on the computer, and it renders video quickly. I’m finding that it will render 1080p video in MP4 format about twice as quick as X6 did. That’s a great software-driven upgrade.

The interface has minor tweaks that have made it somewhat more intuitive than prior versions, especially for exporting projects to video, etc.

The feature set is largely the same as prior versions. You can do quite a lot with this software and don’t have to be a rocket scientist to do it. That said, Adobe’s products offer some additional functionality for true power users.

Overall, I continue to recommend this as a reasonably priced video editor. It’s faster and more stable than before, and improvement is always welcome.
