The Pinnacle Studio MovieBox Ultimate Collection is a hardware/software combination that allows you to capture, edit, share, and playback HD movies. With Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound and video enhancements, you can edit HD movies to achieve a professional quality and look. The USB 2.0 device allows you to capture HD or SD video irrespective of the source type (analog or digital). You can record or convert HD movies to be compatible with standard definition analog devices such as VCRs and video cameras.

You are provided with editing features that allow you to edit videos directly on your computer. With a project bin and favorite folder based directory structure the MovieBox Ultimate Collection enables you to better organize your media. You can attribute professional multi-track video effects to your media via the Montage feature. A pre-loaded database of 130 pre-built Montage templates allows you to quick-start the editing process with easy-to-use animations, transitions, and titles.

Creation of animated titles is allowed via the Motion Titler feature that allows you to drag and drop content for title creation. Also integrated into the system is the suite of professional effects from Red Giant. Changing backgrounds and locations based on your subjects is easy owing to the included 5 x 6’ Chroma-key green screen. Stop-motion picture capture allows you to add animations and fast-motion effects to your videos, and shaky camera shots can be fixed using the MovieBox Ultimate Collection system.

You are also provided with light and lens flare effects as a part of the Knoll Light Factory suite created by master effects professional John Knoll. In addition, you can transform video into animation via the ToonIt feature, add light ray effects via Trapcode Shine, integrate 3D smoke, explosion, and rain effects via the Particular feature, and modify the entire look of your video via the Magic Bullet Looks feature.

Animated logos and line effects can be created via the Trapcode 3D Stroke feature. You can share your edited videos via YouTube in high-quality widescreen formats. Sharing support is also offered for Blu-ray, DVD, Flash, QuickTime, AVCHD, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360. You can add the finishing touch to your movies via the capability to add professionally designed DVD menus.

      Comments about Pinnacle Studio Moviebox Ultimate Collection:

      I purchased a Toshiba computer recently. However, the new laptops do not come with a firewire port. I have a digital camcorder that I needed tov transfer footage from camera to computer. After much searching Pinnacle Movie Box solved my problem. The transfer is smooth with no loss in the digital quality of the footage. Would recommend product for transfer to computer with no firewire port.

        Comments about Pinnacle Studio Moviebox Ultimate Collection:

        I started working with offline editing software back in the 1980s. Speed Razor, Canopus, Toast, et al.... This little box and the editing software included is an absolutely amazing package for ten times the price. In todays world, the need for Broadcast video is far dimnished in lieu of webcasts, podcasts, youtube, personal DVD production, and CDs. This little package provides for all the home library interoperability stuff as well as powerful editing and CD/DVD/and internet production, and EASY as pie.
        My only caution is to take seriously the need for good hardware. The system (hardware and software) will work with less than it suggests, but, if you are seriously editing and capturing, the system minimums suggested ARE minimums.

              It is good. Only to get outside of your country to India,Courier charges are 50% of product value . Wrt to product, I am very much satisfied. A good product at an average pricing that is not too high or too low. It is compact and occupies less space. Design of Movie Box is excellent with I/p and O/p clearly seperated without confusion to identify

                    Bought this because I got rid of my desktop and bought a laptop that does not have a firewire connection. Have a Sony Camcorder and Capture requires firewire. Was really pleased how easy the Moviebox was to use to transfer video from my camcorder to my pc. Have not done much with the software yet so not sure how difficult it will be to use.

                      I wanted a gear that can convert video signal from firewire (and other analog formats) into a USB signal to be carried to a computer that doesn't have firewire capability. And this works perfectly for me. The only thing I am yet to test out is whether it can work in the reverse direction, that is, from the computer back to the camera or other video devices.
