      Comments about Pinnacle Studio HD Video Editing Software:

      I'm glad I bought this product because now i can edit my videos I post on youtube better than ever. There are many options available for editing videos, and it's completely easy to use. The only problem I have is that it's very slow, but that's mainly because my computer didn't exactly meet ALL of the requirements. Overall, good product, and if i had a better computer, I'd definitely say it's a wonderful product.

          I mainly use it for self edits and short fun videos of friends and it works great. Super easy to get the hang of and works well with high quality footage and enables you to add quality transitions and effects to make the video that much more enjoyable. Runs smoothly and doesnt get glitchy like I have experienced with Adobe products. Nothing much I would change about it. Generally an all around good product!

            must register to import/edit AVCHD

                  I just made some nice video presentations on my old, slow computor. I liked the Pinnacle HD better than the Adobe Elements 8 because it didn't cause my computor to crash as much as the Adobe Elements did ( because my computor has too little memory).
                  This program is worth it for the price.

                  Comments about Pinnacle Studio HD Video Editing Software:

                  I got this for my teenage son who has been using Microsoft MovieMaker for about three years and was ready for something with more features. I'm a professional editor, but didn't think he was quite ready for Premiere Pro, so I went with Pinnacle because I've used their hardware products before. My son loves it and was doing some really creative effects within an hour.

                      Having had absolutely no experience with this program using it was quite easy. It was more a try and try again when things did not go right. Would like to know where you can get answers to a problem with not too much searching the internet for this program. Is there a forum out there for Pinnacle Studio?
