Review by Mark J. Fowler

The Pinnacle Studio 18 is not as easy to use as NCH VideoPad, and doesn’t have as many features as Photoshop Elements, but it is much closer in price to the least-expensive video software around, with more features in terms of in-program editing features and templates. It also handles 6 tracks and handles files faster with 64 bit framework, and they throw in 17 royalty-free tracks to keep you out of copyright danger. I haven’t yet experienced the crashes I see from other reviewers.
