Review by Brian A. Wolters

I’ve been using the last several versions of Corel VideoStudio along side my (still) favorite, Adobe Premiere Elements. The two things I found about VideoStudio was that it was easier to use but also slow. I am happy to say that in X7, speed is much improved.

The one thing I can say about VideoStudio X7 is that it makes everything easy for the newbie. If there was one video editing suite I would recommend to newcomers, it would be this. Everything is straight forward and easy to understand and follow.

I did mention speed enhancements. Not only is it smooth during the editing process but also for rendering and burning disks. I would say it is a full 40% faster than Adobe Premiere elements at rendering. To me, this is HUGE.

I have to say, VideoStudio X7 is the video editing suite to get if you are on a budget.
