      Comments about Pinnacle Studio Ultimate HD Video Editing Software:

      I'm very disappointed in Studio 14,
      I've been trying to make a picture slideshow, it constanly freezes up on me and I'm forced to shut it down. If I don't frequently save I lose my work. I had replaced studio 12.1 with it but am ready to uninstall 14 and reload my version 12.1.
      So much for upgrading. There are some new things that I'd love to take advantage of but don't know if I can trust the program to complete a project.
      It also seems impossible to get any customer support.

                  I did alot of research when I was looking for video editing software. I eventually purchased this with high hopes of it doing it all. I am very disappointed. I have done several 5 minute videos and this keeps freezing up, then I have to reboot or or close the program and start all over. I have reinstalled so many times I have decided to look for something else. Very dissatisfied..Not as advertised or promoted. Wish I could return for a refund.

                      After purchasing, learned that my format was not supported, even though my format (HD) was presented on the box. Two upgrades later, the ability to download the HD video from the camera does not work. Support is terrible and there is no apparent desire for customer satisfaction.

                          This is the first editing software I ever bought and I'm more than satisfied. I've only used things like MovieMaker before and was a little apprehensive about upgrading, but the tutorials and ease of use quickly got me hooked. You can play around all you like and not hurt anything. A really fun and useful product. Well worth the money.

                          Comments about Pinnacle Studio Ultimate HD Video Editing Software:

                          I got the Ultimate Collection version of this software and it rocks. I started making an online show with it thats on two local tv stations now. It's stable and no quirks. You can rely on it. I mix Standard def, HDV and AVCHD footage in the same timeline and it reads it natively. I get a quick turn around time too. I wish it had more than three video tracks but, with all the multilayer features I can do about as many text effects as I want and with ease. I wish they wouldnt have disabled third party applications like Soundsoap and Boris FX.
                          You still cant beat this stuff. I do what my friends to for just over a hundered and they paid close to a thousand. They always ask me what I use and when I say studio they laugh. I laugh right back because I know they are in shock.
                          This is the stuff you want.
