Corel VideoStudio Ultimate is basically as pro as you can or need to get, if you’re an intermediate to advanced movie maker. It’s pro enough to where you could edit an actual, moderate budget movie and it would look great. At the same time, it’s easy enough to use that just about anyone familiar with computers can get the basics down in seconds. There’s plenty of advanced features, too, though. I feel I’m a fairly advanced tech guy and I still discover new effects and tools, so there is definitely a lot to learn and play around with. All in all, it’s great software - although before you click ‘buy’ I would also consider checking out Sony Movie Studio.
Corel VideoStudio and Sony Movie Studio are my go-to video editing software. They are very similar in function and design, but they each have their pros and cons. Corel has better visual effects. Sony is much easier to manipulate audio. I tend to render in Corel but they are able equal on that end. Sony tends to be a hair cheaper and, if you’re a true beginner, I would actually suggest starting out there because I feel like the tools are generally easier to use.
OVERALL: If you’re tired of being limited by free or ultra-basic video editing software, it’s definitely time to upgrade. I highly suggest Corel VideoStudio or Sony Movie Studio. Both software provide exceptional effects and tools to make your footage look at high quality as possible. And with rendering ability all the up to 4K, it’s unlikely you’ll find yourself limited by the software anytime soon. To be honest, unless you’re editing a million dollar movie, I doubt there is anything this software won’t be able to do to fit your needs.
