Software Reviews of Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Version 11 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
I have never been a fan of Pinnacle Systems but I saw this version that had some included special effects programs that I thought were worth the price. I soon discovered that it was the same old Pinnacle story. They make their editing programs overly complicated and full of glitches.
As always, Pinnacle put emphasis on transisions instead of solid editing and it shows. I unistalled the program, put the disk away and chalked up the cost as a waste.

Customer Review: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
If I was able, I would give this worthless program negative stars. Go ahead and buy it if you desire a program that:
crashes at random intervals
replaces the videos that you placed in your creation with ones that IT choses.
changes the timing of slides and transitions on whim....after you have set them.
did I mention crashes?
if you like restarting your computer mutliple times while trying to create presentation.
spending at least four times as much time as needed creating a simple program due to crashes restarts.
hangs up while playing it's own files!!!!!
This program is terrible. It was apparently written by crack smoking monkeys who were hung over and in need of a fix.
DO NOT BUY IT !!!!
Customer Review: Easy to Use, but exceptionally buggy
Summary: 2 Stars
If you are an amateur videographer and are looking for software that is simple and easy to edit movies and add simple effects with, then Pinnacle Studio 11 is fine. However, if you plan on rendering a movie over 5 minutes, then its not. I have used many low-end video editing software titles, but I have never had rendering problems like this. A few minutes into the Render it just hangs. I have applied multiple patches, but have not been successful in this endeavor yet. I was introduced to Pinnacle by a co-worker who uses Avid, the professional version of the software and it worked really well. However, this is really garbage. I have also used Sony Vegas Studio Platinum, Roxio (this was the first tool I ever used, but it is painfully slow and clunky), and I have dabbled in Adobe. After using all of these different titles, I would recommend them over Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate at this point until the day comes when Pinnacle releases a patch that can actually allow you to fully render a long movie. After being miserable with this product for a few months now, I have given up and been using Vegas Platnum. My experience is so positive with it, that I just upgraded to the professional edition. Each editing software has some advantages and disadvantages over others, and you will often be in situations where you can justify using two editors for one project, but I can say that it will be a long time before I ever include Pinnacle in one of my projects again. After this review, you may wonder why I gave Pinnacle 2 stars vs 1 star. The reason is that the overall software has the potential to be good, the user interface is fine, its pretty easy to use and learn. If the rendering problem is fixed, I would give it 3 stars. Customer Review: it crashes
Summary: 2 Stars
Nice features, and, indeed, it is more stable than the previous releases. But is not accettably stable yet.
The overall behaviour is giving the impression that the application is fatiguing through the various tasks. However, what I find really problematic are the several crashes that, despite the improved stability, still occur. Be ready to accept to invest time in recovering the works after the various crashes rather than focusing in the actual creative process. For those who, like me, don't have the luxury of doing this as a full time job, every minute counts, and it is easy to have unproductive sessions for quite a few times.
Customer Review: Most bang for the buck!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used several movie making programs - this one's the best. I have had it crash a few times, so I make sure the work I do is backed up frequently. But, it is a simple matter to restart the program and continue from where you left off.
Many excellent features!
