Comments about Pinnacle Studio MovieBoard Plus PCI Capture Card and Editing Software - Win:
I use Studio Movieboard Plus for home movies and for various projects I've wanted to work on. It's great for menus. The capturing was more than expected, although I haven't figured out how to delete not wanted video clips. It has nice included sound effects, transitions, and movie effects, except it doesn't have a speed up or slow down effect or at least I havn't found it yet. I found that Studio Movieboard plus was a joy to use and it was better than expected. I would recommend it to any aspiring film maker who just wants to get started on his projects that have been lingering for 3 years. I hope you have a great day,and really think about this piece of equipment. God Bless!
