    Good price for video editing software, voice over can improve overtime. Spend a lot of time redo voice over than anything else. Hope update will resolve laggy issue.

    A little difficult to install. A memory hog, but once I got it to work it was very easy to use.

    Long learning curve to this software, but it is nice once you get the basics. I really think it would take a college course to begin to get a handle on all the features. I have upgraded to 24 since this purchase. If you have never used any video editing software, I honestly do not suggest you start with this, play with free versions first, then make the jump, you'll be glad you did.

    I bought this for youtube video editing. It is complicated and takes some time to learn. But as experience has shown, this is the case with all high end video editing programs. There is a great deal of help available for newbies like myself. I am enjoying using the program and learning all the fantastic things it can do.

    I've been using Pinnacle since it started. They are back to supporting a single live device plus screen If you want to use more up to six devices you have to buy the multicam. Online it says it is is $40.00, but as an upgrade to my Pinnacle it only cost $19.95 It's a good product for beginning video editors and it allows making DVDs and a ton of goodies.

    This was an upgrade to Pinnacle Studios 18. I found it a little more difficult to use mainly due to all the upgrades to the program. The tutorial is lengthy and sometimes difficult to understand. I am still learning how to use some of the new features, so I can’t rate the entire program at this time. Hopefully I will learn all the new features before I edit my next video.

    Do not buy!!! It is very difficult to import videos. You'd be better off getting a free version of ANYTHING over this crap software.

    This program promise a lot, deliver lots of crashes,. My experience within last 2 month with it is simple have to reinstall the program 4 or 5 times including starting from zero, meaning reconfigure My PC from the top reinstalling windows 10 pro twice to make it fully compatible with a 64 bit kernel and making sure there isn't any file left from an early version of Studio 22, which I found out it will create problems when trying to run studio 23, guess what? still crashes. Now I am looking for a better program or thinking on reinstalling Studio 22 ultimate.

    I purchased this to do some basic editing and make DVD's. 1st it takes almost 1 hour to download the software (using the disc). It doesn't have a feature to burn to DVD. Customer service is horrible and very non-responsive. Don't buy!
