Review by Phyllis Staff

I am a video novice, with a camera that will take videos that do not work and play well with Microsofts movie software. I turned for help to Corels VideoStudio 7, and got the flexibility I was looking for. Just as I was beginning to get reasonably comfortable with its features, I found VideoStudio Pro 8 and X8 Ultimate.

Ultimate X8 has all the features of Pro 8 and all the benefits Ive come to expect from Corel, but for only a few more dollars, Ultimate X8 has 10 add-ons that are well worth considering before you make a purchase decision.

I have several favorites among the 10 add-ons, especially Audio ducking. Now I can use background music without drowning out voice-over effects. Also, I like the titling add-on where I can make transparent titles for very interesting effects.

Corel provides tutorials for each of their add-ons in Ultimate X8. I have not finished viewing or practicing all of them, but, based on the tutorials I have used, I deem their quality outstanding. I will eventually see all of them because there will be features pointed out that I was unaware existed.

Fun to use with excellent tutorials to make you look like an expert! I cant ask for more than VideoStudio Ultimate X8. And the price won’t break your budget most reasonable for all thats packed into this package.

FIVE STARS!
