Review by Christopher Powell

I picked up this package to help edit and combine home videos taken on a DVC HD 1080p recorder and I thought my q9300 quad core 4gb ram intel machine with a ATI 1900XTX would be adequate for movies editing. I’m running Windows 7 x64 and my system is stable… running a Highpoint 0+1 raidset for fast storage. After loading the software and attempting to work with 60 minutes of HD video, I found the product sluggish and often delayed in response, even though perfmon wasn’t showing disk wait time or high utilization. Lockups when processing video were common, and somtimes I lost my session detail and had to start over.

I like the menus and ease of use, but either it’s my older system or instability running the 32 bit app on a 64bit platform causeing problems.. Perhaps they will improve performance and stability in future patching.
