Corel VideoStudio Ultimate 2021 | Video Editing Software with Hundreds of Premium Effects | Slideshow Maker, Screen Recorder, DVD Burner [PC Disc] [Old Version]

I do a lot of videos for family gatherings, book reviews, etc. This Corel Video Studio Ultimate software is perfect for my needs. I can cut, add, colorize and many more things to any video in my collections.

Ive used Corels video editor in the past. Its a decent product, but with every passing year, it feels clunkier and clunkier. This software needs a rebuild from the ground up. The biggest issue is the user interface. It feels old and outdated. In some places, its outright annoying. This is very apparent when you use the capture function. Youll have to monkey around to find the multi-cam capture. On one hand I applaud the fact that MCC is now imbedded in the main program, instead of a standalone app, but it should be much easier to find. That capture tab is just a mess. Another huge issue is the optimization. This thing runs like hot garbage at times. I have a new PC and a top of the line video card. This runs much slower than previous versions Ive used on older, less powerful machines. There is a monkey in the room we need to address with this software. If you are only looking for a video editor, for basic editing, this is a terrible choice. If you want an excellent video editor, for intensive processing, this is a terrible choice. The only people I can see getting value out of this, is an aspiring YouTuber who wants beyond basic editing. For the average person who just wants to edit basic video, the video editor Microsoft puts in Windows 10, for free, is a much better option. There is another issue that severely impacts the value. This is a Corel product. Ah, Corel! The EA of the media editing world. If youre not sure what that means, this is what you are going to get: 1 - Some updates over the next year. 2 - Subpar support 3 - Random glitches that will drive you nuts. 4 - You will witness your software turn into adware after a year. Number four is the biggest issue for me. Corel is infamous for this. Prepare to get assaulted with ads that try to get you to dish out money after a year. These ads might even show up in your Windows feed. Its aggressive and shameful, when youve already paid a good amount of money for the software. Basically, this one is really hard to recommend and even more so if you already have a previous version. There just isnt enough to really justify upgrading to this one. Id hold off until Corel overhauls the UI.

THIS WAS USED! The rigistration number is already licensed to someone else and the disk had many scratches on it also!

The program may install from disc. Lots of BS about downloads. Also getting pitches for subscriptions. If you have to go through those hoops Adobe is better.

Current versions can be a bit buggy and will occasionally crash (only happened to me once). I use it to make Wedding, Birthday, Anniversary, and Memorial videos as well as the occasional DIY video. It is still one of the better video softwares out there.

Worst product experience of my life

Im a beginner so it took some time to figure out. I still havent figured it all out yet. I guess if you have the experience it would be great but it tuff on a newbie. Not sure if I like or not.

Ive done a little video editing using the editor buried in the MS software under photos, or was it draw? Anyway, hard to find and awkward to use - but does okay. Corel VideoStudios is a huge improvement with music and effect. Im going to have a lot of fun experimenting with it. Loading took over an hour - at one point it stalled out for 15 minutes and I thought it had crashed! But lots of cool toys. Definitely worth the $70 entrance fee - compare to a dinner and movie - and this will last much longer, even allow me to make my own movies!!!

I have used Corel products for many years. Slow customer service gets the low rating raiting.

I read some reviews where people had problems with crashing and slowness, I did NOT experience either. For the price, it works well for me. If you think a sub $100 dollar software program is going to be on the same level as one that costs $1K, you probably shouldnt purchase this. It had a pretty easy learning curve, has some nice editing features and I was able to take my videos up a few notches.
