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

Customer Review: Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate - Excellent
Summary: 4 Stars

When you need to edit AVCHD (Sony HiDef) you have 2 products: Pinnacle Studio 11 or Vegas Pro. First, Pinnacle is far less expensive. The learning curves on both, even for someone already used to steep learning curves is, well, an incline to be sure. However, it is a great product to learn with, and be SURE to get your computer up to speed: Dual or Quad processors, and all the Ram you're computer can handle. A good video card will help also.

Customer Review: Studio 11 Ultimate Impossible!
Summary: 1 Stars

Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate - What a horrible product! I have been successfully working with video for 5 years. I had Studio 8, which was satisfactory. I got a new system with lots of space and power. I run Windows XP Professional. I have spent the last 7 days trying to get this thing to render. No luck. I uninstalled, reinstalled, loaded every patch known to humanity. I rendered without even breathing. I rendered in most all formats. The last 30% of any slideshow refuses to render. Period. Support is a repetitive, cruel, circular trip to Hades. If someone paid me I would never use Pinnacle again. I am cutting my losses, and mailing the thing gratis back to the company with my opinion...not that they will ever find someone to actually read it.

Customer Review: WORST SOFTWARE EVER CREATED
Summary: 1 Stars

I usually don't take the time to rate software but I can't believe Pinnacle has this version on the market, it is the buggiest, most unstable software I have used in 10 years. Studio 9 was more stable than this. If you contact tech support they tell you your operating system is corrupt (when it is not) and they tell you to reinstall your OS!!!!!

I seriously don't believe that Pinnacle can release this trash with a straight face -- and furthermore, do nothing to support it. Save your money and more importantly the hours of frustration you will experience if you get this.

Customer Review: oh, all the hours and money I'd like back!
Summary: 1 Stars

I began a recent project a year ago. It was a 30 minute long movie and it should have taken a month to edit. First, version 9 was what I was using and that screwed up sound and had really jerky and disfunctional playback. Then I blew money on 11. It definitely seems more stable than version 9, the playback is better and the sound works better in edit mode, but when burning it totally screwed up the sound balance of my movie. I worked on it way too long and spent more money on sound cards and the different sound options trying to get it to work. When the sound problem wasn't enough, it also decided to not burn the last minute of movie every time I tried to burn it. It even doesn't work when I break it up into 10-minute pieces. I am really tired of dealing with this software and would not recommend it unless you want to have heart problems, anger issues, and hair loss. Good luck finding something good- I'll probably be looking too!

Customer Review: Shame on Pinnacle and Avid
Summary: 1 Stars

I have been using Pinnacle's Studio Products since Version 5 I think. It's kind of like have a very bright kid with lots of potential but they are not living up to it. I still keep hoping with each upgrade that they will get right. Well, Version 11 doesn't do it for me. Rending is a major problem. It doesn't matter what kind of cool effects you can do it if you can't rending properly. Support just told me another "work around". Copy and paste my project into a new file... that didn't work either. Shame on Pinnacle and Avid!
