(Studio also still is available in a 32-bit version.) I would give the demo a try first.Pinnacle Studio 18 is part of the latest wave of video editing tools that have stepped up to 64-bit processing, providing the performance and capacity to handle the demands of high-definition video editing on today's PCs. I even tried splitting the tracks every 1 minute, to hope that the audio would finally sync, it kind of worked, but then I had some weird video alignment issues. I tried so many things from pre-compressing to mpeg2, to going to completely different formats. Strange things like video hiccups on occassional transitions, and the straw the broke the camels back was hours and hours of me trying to figure out why my audio was totally out of sync after taking a project from x.264 to DVD.
PINNACLE STUDIO 18 PLUS REVIEW SOFTWARE
I've had previous versions of the Pinnacle Studio suites (the last I used was 18), and my take is, the workflow is really simple for doing typical things (say quickly editing a slideshow or video and burning it to a DVD with menus), however recentlly I've switched over to Sony's similar product, the reason being the pinnacle software always seemed to have strange errors that you had no way of fixing, since so much of the workflow is automated, or hidden from the user. Other features include more than 1500 titles, effects, and templates, 6-track frame-accurate editing, and the ability to share footage on Vimeo, YouTube, and Facebook.Īll three versions of the software are available now through Pinnacle. Pinnacle Studio 19 Ultimate is the highest-end of the trio, allowing footage from up to 6 cameras to be edited it likewise features Audio Syncing and Audio Ducking. Pinnacle Studio 19 Plus, meanwhile, offers a 4-track Multi-Camera Editor with the same Audio Syncing feature and a new Audio Ducking option. Pinnacle Studio 19's new Multi-Camera Editor allows footage from two cameras to be edited users can also align clips with Audio Syncing.
A couple of new features have been added to the software, including a new Multi-Camera Editor in each version of the application. In addition, the latest version offers support for 6th-generation Intel Core i7 processors. Corel has introduced a trio of new versions of its video editing software applications: Pinnacle Studio 19 Ultimate, Pinnacle Studio 19 Plus, and Pinnacle Studio 19.
