Though it's no lightweight, Pinnacle Studio Plus 16's trial release is well worth the time it takes to download and install.Įditors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Pinnacle Studio Plus 12.1.Features to look out for in the Pinnacle Studio 26 Ultimate software include unlimited tracks for editing, 3D and precision 2D editing tools, enhanced media tagging, and Pinnacle Studio for iPad (available separately from the app store.) We started small but achieved better results than we expected the first time out. Like similar tools, some processes take time, though how the program performs obviously depends on your system's capabilities. Pinnacle Studio's image quality is excellent, and it has too many features to summarize (more than 1,800 effects alone). One of the first things we did in Pinnacle Studio was set up our Watchfolders for automatic updates. Pinnacle Studio is first and foremost a video-editing suite, but it also imported all our digital media files, including images and music, to its Library file manager.

Despite its many features, this program is actually easy enough for beginners. Pinnacle Studio Plus 16 has an up-to-date user interface featuring a timeline with previews and drag-and-drop compatibility. The Standard Content Pack is a substantial (but recommended) optional download that needs Pando Media Booster, which required an additional installation step, as well as a current DirectX release. An interesting "Learn while installing" feature lets you view a Guided Tour, video tutorials, a manual, and Help flyers (the registered free trial includes technical support) during the lengthy process. Pinnacle Studio's installer includes an Advanced Option that let us decide what Bonus Content to download and install. The latest release has an improved user interface, better 3D editing, and integrated cloud storage. Pinnacle Studio Plus 16 is free to try and costs $99.99 not cheap, certainly, but within the budget for many sophisticated amateurs.


You can save your productions in a variety of formats, share them online, or burn them to disk. It offers 24-track editing, multilayer special effects, animated graphics, custom titles, and hi-fi audio quality. This full-featured video suite is compatible with the latest HD and 3D standards, including Blu-ray and AVCHD. Pinnacle Studio Plus 16 might be what you're looking for. You can use better video tools, but the best is way out of your price range. When it comes to video, you're not a pro, but neither are you a noob.
