Review by Darcy Pennell

I’ve used a few different versions of Pinnacle Studio and have had the same experience with all of them. It has great tools and some nice extras (audio tracks, etc), but I’ve never found the interface to be particularly user-friendly. Once you get used to it, you can put together some great, professional-quality videos. It’s just the getting used to it part that is frustrating. The help files aren’t all that helpful when you are just starting out. For the money, however, this is really the best out there. It does everything you need, even if it is a bit tedious trying to figure out how to do those things. It also supports most major audio and video formats.
