Review by Joanna D.

This is a relatively trim video processing program (ie, it runs on my computer which is several years old while a competing studio from Adobe will not run at all.)nnVideoStudio Editor: Corel feels the workflow method (following the normal steps to create a movie) are more user-friendly than learning technical editing. I find this to be true: I never learned technical editing of video before and the system led me through it.

Movie Wizard: A quick-and-dirty way to get a slide show with effects chosen by the system. Great for newbies.

DV-to-DVD Wizard: Choose clips directly from digital video, edit and go.

Auto Color and Tone Filters: Fixes low light conditions–a typical problem for amateur video (no light setups)nnDVD Authoring: You can add chapters, interactive features to make your own DVD’s, including tutorial-style DVDs (teachers may be interested in this feature.)nnSpecial FX and Soundtrack editing. There are the usual pan, fade, effects and sound is full-featured (I like this better than the Adobe offering: The soundtrack portion features:nnAudio View: Mix between clip, overlay, narration and music tracks.nAudio Rubber-banding: Adjust sound levels of your video, overlays, narration and background music directly in Audio view.nSmartSound Auto Music Maker: Create unique royalty-free tunes to fit the style and duration of your project.nAudio Filters: Audio Normalization, Remove Noise and others help fix audio problems and enhance the sound.

This is a full-featured package, easy to use and a great piece of software to get the most out of your video clips.
