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

**Editing to one star after trying to edit 2 videos on it. Its SOOOO buggy....I about through my laptop against the wall. The lag time from clipping and previewing so you can continue editing and see if/where you need to clip more freezes ALL THE TIME. So you end up having to replay the same little 5 second clip segment 80 times and go back at least 20 seconds to get it to play without freezing so you know where to stop and clip again. Its maddening. Will be exclusively using premier elements from now on. At least it doesnt freeze. So, initially I thought I was going to love this more than adobe premier elements. It seemed a little more straight forward and easier for a beginner, like myself, to use. However, its super buggy. You accidentally click a wrong button and all of a sudden your video preview screen and your file screen are in 2 separate places, or the video screen shrinks very small. Adjusting audio is not as easy as it is on premier elements. I do like the sound files a little more on this one (they have single cartoon like sound effects you can add), but you cant just click to play a sample....you have to click the audio clip, then hit play on the video preview screen (which doesnt sound like a lot, but it is when you just want to quickly hear each file). Adding text and graphics is also hit or miss with both programs for a novice user. One feature I do like is that you can directly upload to your youtube channel from the program when finished editing.

Software did not work…

It crashes too often such that Im uninstalling it and installing the previous version. Its frankly not wort it. A waste of time.

Unfortunately I did not understand that there was a free trial version of this software. It is on my computer, a complete waste of money and I have no options for getting my money refunded. Beware. I am disappointed in my purchase but I am also disturbed with Amazon. Caveat Emptor.

La clave del producto es inválido, traté de contactar con servicio al cliente pero nunca me contestaron.

You get many of your needs on video editing and movie making. Simple and easy tools, plenty of options and editing tools, for this price, if you are beginner, intermediate or semi pro, you will not suffer. If you are masters degree on editing, this is not a product to satisfy your needs.

No license code listed. Not Clear where customer support is.

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.

It wasnt compatible with my laptop and i already opened it to find this out. Very disappointed

Ive used several versions of Corels VideoStudio; the purchase price includes a perpetual software license (no monthly subscription fees) and Corel adds new features with every update. Usually I update every 2-3 years; I ordered this Vine Voice version to update from VideoStudio 2020 Ultimate, expecting new features plus improved rendering support using my NVIDIA GPU. VideoStudio 2021 emphasizes improved support for 360 degree video, but I have no experience with 360 degree video. Software installation is straightforward, requiring Internet connectivity both to verify the included software serial number and also to download program updates and bonus content. You start the enclosed CD, input the included software serial number, and then watch the bar graphs fill while installation continues without further dialog. (This large program takes significant installation time.) VideoStudio 2021 Ultimate installation does not delete earlier VideoStudio versions, but it replaces Multicam Capture Lite earlier versions and it leaves an *undiscussed* VideoStudio folder on your Windows desktop. (That folder contains two subfolders: Patch and 64-bit. 64-bit contains *undiscussed* NewBlue titling and video enhancement software. I rename the desktop folder Folder from Desktop and I move the renamed folder to C:UsernameDocumentsCorel VideoStudio Pro24.0 for safekeeping.) At installation end the congratulations message links you to the Corel website where you can access instructional videos and can download the VideoStudio 2021 User Guide PDF. The instructional videos and user guide also are accessible from the VideoStudio 2021 startup (Home) screen. VideoStudio has four modes: Home; Capture; Edit; and Share. Home mode offers instructional videos, and also offers for sale Corels VideoStudio software enhancements. Capture mode assumes your live camera is connected to your computer and controls video recording. Edit mode permits editing your prerecorded video clips, and provides a multichannel timeline model to assemble your prerecorded video clips, title and graphic overlay tracks, and voice and music tracks into a composite video. Using the timeline model becomes intuitive after viewing several Corel instructional videos. Edit mode produces a parameterized project small file that defines your composite video. Share mode allows GPU-enhanced recording your composite video to hard disk, to digital media, or uploading your composite video to popular Internet video websites. I observe little functional change (faster performance?) comparing VideoStudio 2021 Edit and Share modes with VideoStudio 2020, but Capture mode has changed significantly. During the pandemic weve all acquired webcams, and Capture mode facilitates webcam video recording. VideoStudio 2020 Capture mode had definite problems: HD-, 2K- and 4K-resolution webcams all produced 720*480 pixel 30 fps video. But VideoStudio 2020 Ultimate included a separate Multicam Capture Lite (MCL) app that recorded 1920*1080 pixel 30 fps HD video in MOV (i.e., MJPEG, also called AppleTalk) format from HD-or-better resolution webcams; that prerecorded HD video could be processed in Edit mode and then recorded as 30 fps MP4 video in Share mode. VideoStudio 2021 Ultimate incorporates MCL functionality directly into its Capture mode (earlier MCL separate apps are deleted during installation), and MCL has been rewritten to produce 1920*1080 pixel MP4-formatted video from HD-or-better resolution webcams. But the MCL-recorded MP4 video is flipped left-to-right (i.e., analog clocks appear to run backwards), and users encounter frame-rate speed problems because MCL coding utilizes your CPU without using your NVIDIA or AMD GPU: the new MCL produced 17 fps MP4-formatted HD video using my same webcam and desktop computer. I consider the video capture frame rate reduction and the left-to-right video horizontal flipping to be backward steps for Multicam Capture Lite and for VideoStudio 2021 Ultimate functionality (minus one star).
