Review by J. Sullivan

This new version of Pinnacle Studio offers exceptional rendering performance on my fairly dated quad-core AMD system.

The interface seems the same, though it has been a while since my laptop that had version 17 on it had died, so I could be overlooking something. Pinnacle Studio still stands as one of the simpler to use video editing solutions, and with twenty-four tracks available, the Plus version is easy enough to work in without the need to work around.

Overall, everything tends to run much smoother, and the numerous transitions and effects are more than enough to create wonderful home movies, tutorials, or just about anything else. Without any need to edit 4K content, I can get by with Studio 18 Plus for now. I like it.
