Pinnacle Studio 25 | Video Editing & Screen Recording Software [PC Disc] [Old Version]

I have been using Corel Draw for 30 years and have used Pinnacle studio since version 7. I made over 300 professional diving videos with Studio 7-9. I loved the product and the results helped me land a gig with The Amazing Race. So when it came time to make videos for my employer for You Tube and Facebook naturally I chose Studio 25. Though a lot has been added over the years the appearance was recognizable and I went right to work. Since then it has been nothing short of a pain in the butt. I would add a clip and split the sound to adjust noise reduction and the sound in the edit mode shows graphically but you cannot hear it. I would have to close the program and go back in only have it to work until I made another adjustment. The same happened when i added music to the background. I was expecting this clip to take less than an hour to complete. I already have 8 hours on it and it is still not finished... making me look like an idiot in front of my boss. I would be happy if you brought back Studio 8! This version should have not made it out from Beta. WAIT... it gets worse. I contacted customer support last Thursday 2/9/22 (from some foreign country) and it is Monday 2/14/22 and I have yet to hear back from them. I gave it 2 stars simply because I love the original programs and know what it can do. Otherwise... 1 star!

Program crashed every 4 minutes. Horrible experiencee. I would recommend fhotcut.. It doenst crash much at alll.

Just got latest Version. I used it years ago. Tried other editors, nothing comes close.

I started with Dazzle many years ago and have been along for a sweet ride with Pinnacle Studios ever since. Pinnacle 25 has been great so far as we are overseas and pulling our various trip media into something which is reasonable to share with others. I am getting familiar with Iphone media formats as one of us has recently moved over from Android and GUESS WHAT?!?! Pinnacle 25 works with Iphone too. Lots of variation in media input as well as output formats. Great job gals and guys !

Great features but very intuitive. Also strong training support ...

I bought the PINNACLE STUDIO 25 couldnt install it on my computer. Uninstall reinstall and it still didnt work I should have known not to get it when pinnacle 24 cost more than 25. I wouldnt recommend anyone buying the product.

I had an old Pinnacle program that I used for over 10 years and I loved it! Then I decided to use the Pinnacle 25 and I have had nothing but trouble with it. When I ask for help, they do respond but they want me to do higher tech things to fix a new program. I think that something new should work properly and I should not have to make many tech moves to get it to work.

I havent seen such bad software since the 90s! Heres a partial list of problems I had with it: 1) Video clips got cut short when importing 2) Video clips got garbled after editing (ie, jerky, jumpy quality) 3) Screen recorder produced poor quality recordings - worse than many freeware programs 4) Preview didnt correspond well to video, making it impossible to edit with any precision 5) Program froze frequently 6) Tech support experiencing higher call volume than usual I would rather get a root canal than work with this software again. Luckily, I found a freeware video editor with a cheap upgrade that works vastly better than Pinnacle Studio!

Just waste money. Software doest work properly. Read others reviews.

I have used the Studio product for over 10 years with limited success with the import function. Even though my PC exceeds the requirements with processor, memory and video it still would lock up on import. The new version 25 while I was importing a DVD the video would duplicate making editing a nightmare. Unfortunately I downloaded the product and cant return. Be very careful and consider other alternatives even if they cost more money.
