I am a heavy user of Sony Movie Studio and quite a fan. I wanted to try Corel to see how it compared. I was significantly hampered because it crashes every time I try to use an mts file from my camcorder. Works fine with AVI and other video files, but not mts… unfortunately, these are the files I work with most. Looking up the problem, it turns out that one has to have updated video drivers from Intel. Most people probably wouldn’t have been able to figure this out. After wasting quite a bit of time, I figured it out. Intel has an Driver update program that you download but it wouldn’t work on my Dell touchscreen…the message is that this computer has custom drivers. So I am out of luck.

I did do some editing with some of my non mts files. The program is pretty intuitive and has some very user friendly eye candy special effects, transitions, filters etc. It is easier to understand than Sony… although I think the Sony program is probably more robust. I would recommend this but beware that you will need to update your intel drivers if you want to use mts.
