Software Reviews of Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Version 11 [OLD VERSION]

Customer Review: Over Priced Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this brand new from Circuit City as they went out of business. Only paid [...] for it instead of the [...] price on the tag. Never used it much and today I confirmed I was robbed for buying this piece of crap. The one reason I kept it on my computer as long as I did was for the chroma key function.

What are some of it's many flaws? For starters, it one has very few useful effects. Most of the effects and transitions (and there are hundreds of them) are cutesy and so amateurish in concept that one would never see them in a true professional production. Most of the traditional bread and butter effects one wants do not seem to exist or are a bit poor in execution. Then most of the effects listed are actually pay to use, and for more money then they are worth. It gave me an immediate feel of a switch and bait scam. "We have the effected listed, but it will cost you a bunch and you have to buy it with all this useless stuff."

The biggest flaw with this program, as a few effects did have possibilities, is how it is outputted into its video file. Having used VirtualDub as a tweaker/refiner of my raw footage, I am aware of the abundance of video codecs one can compress with. Studio 11 offers the basic ones, and since i like to stay with AVI until I am done with my production, I am only offered DivX or raw AVI. There is no possibility to use a better codec such as Xvid. I guess if it is a better codec and its freely available, your not allowed to have it. The raw files I was working with were 1024x768 and the highest resolution I could get, and that was under DviX was 1025x768. That was like okay, I can re-tweak it in VirtualDub (which will let you compress it to any size you want). Well what came out was something that looked like it had originally been 320x240 and blown up to 1024x420, leaving blocky, square pixels where my original was crisp and smooth.

Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate is ultimate garbage with an overpriced tag. I can not see how it could have been improved in version 12.

I uninstantiated Pinnacle Studio today and what will I do about a chroma key? Discovered a way to do it with VirtualDub. Not easy, but the results are thousands of times better Pinnacle Studio could ever do.

And VirtualDub is free
