I downloaded the trial version of video studio pro x3 after trying 4 other top video editing programs, Video studio pro X3 was by far the best. I used it for about a week and not once did the program crash, I am running it on my Dell studio XPS laptop 2.8 core2 duo 4 gig ddr3 ram Ati 4670 with 1 gig ram on board, I would say you need quite a powerful system to run this program without problems, It's got some great effects transitions and sound tracks built in, I have found it very easy to use and understand, it also has a great dvd factory built in so you can create some professional looking dvd's/blu ray disc's. I recomend this great program well done Corel.

I have used VideoStudio 7 for many years, to edit and produce DVDs, often for weddings, in standard definition, typically around an hour of video. All I need is the ability to cut, resequence clips, add music and the occasional title, then burn a disc with a menu. Finally I bought a new camera, for High Definition, so I had to upgrade to VideoStudio Pro3 .... What a horror. It cannot download from my camera's USB properly (Panasonic HDC-SD700 ) so I use Panasonic's application to do that (it works well, and is extremely fast), then import the video files. But the so-called media organiser is a ridiculous affair, which populates itself with a mind of its own. Eventually you can fight it and start editing. You need to save your project every 5 minutes since the program crashes so frequently. The preview was particularly flakey, even though I have a nice new Dell vostro 1520 with dual core P8700 2.53GHz and 3Gb RAM, running XP. Downloading the patches from corel's website improved it a bit, but not completely.
When the project is finished the share option tries to transfer the project into the now integrated MovieFactory- but this just hangs indefinitely and you have to shut everything down. Eventually I settled for making a DVD video file (mpg standard definition) and just importing it into the Factory - which was OK until I tried to change the awful pre-set Title music to my own mp3 file. There is a button for allegedly doing this, and it came up with a blank media screen and embryonic Desktop/My Computer search tree - but clicking on My Computer to get at my music has no effect whatsoever - the thing just does not navigate. You cannot even delete the horrid sound they give you. Oh dear, ULEAD VideoStudio 7 was a joy to use by any comparison. Is this is what happens when uncle Sam buys up a decent European company?
The total lack of any user manual , even as a pdf on disk, is unforgivable. You have to find a very obscure help widget, which merely connects you an on-line multi page tutorial. I happen to be at a remote location with a fairly modest internet connection so this is a nightmare. You cannot download a pdf manual. And the process described for changing that title soundtrack just doesn't work. Buttons and widgits generally lack any helpful pop-up explanations -why? it is trivially easy to add them to any software application these days.
I am a technical director with 20 years' + experience in IT, software development, computer hardware & software engineering, many years of experience using VideoStudio3 and earlier VideoFactory and believe me I can usually make things work.
UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 2010
Well, eventually, after downloading huge patches from Corel's website and spending 2 weeks communicating with the support team (eventually by telephone) I have got somewhere. Advice included running msconfig, a scary system utility, and disabling half the stuff that Windows tries to load in at startup. Also, they, with no shame, send you the previous verion of MovieFactory (v7SE) to use instead of the awful one originally supplied. All this and taking care to run no other software beforehand has reduced the crashes to an acceptable frequency. But the key workaround, for my Panasonic Video Camera, was to chop the first frame or two off EVERY CLIP (no explanation given, but at least their help-girl had worked it out, using clips which I uploaded to her). Since a typical project might have over 100 clips that was hardly acceptable - BUT I am quite happy to join all my clips using Panasonic's bullet-proof software, make a single mt2s file and import it into Videostudio. Then you chop the first frame and proceed to edit, just like the old days when everything came out of the camera as a single clip. Editing is then fine, with few hangups, as long as you keep off "multi-trim" edit, and just keep splitting scenes where you want to cut. Now the software will efficiently output an AVCHD file (really quickly, since there is almost no need to re-render). Then you can exit Videostudio, start MovieFactory 7SE and successfully import the new AVCHD (it is saved with an .mpg suffix, just to confuse!) It all works from here on, you can make an AVCHD (High Definition) DVD, up to 40 minutes of HD on a standard DVD which plays on BluRay, or you can downgrade to plain DVD.
It would have been nice if Corel could have sorted out all this BEFORE selling their software. And am I the only person with a Panasonic HD camera?? It would be even cleverer if they put all this advice onto their website. So at least I back in business, and, yes, this editing suite is easy to use, intuitive, and is now doing a great job for me. I've added a star to my original rating. They owe me one, too.

I was excited to own this new version of what was 'Ulead Videostudio'. Since the takeover by Corel this product seemed to be going in the right direction especially with its last incarnation-Videostudio Pro X2. But with this new release, it seems to be a case of one step forward and two back. First the layout has been really dulled down, with just a blackened frame and very little else, as opposed to the pleasing to the eye silvery grey of Pro X2. The buttons and markers are less bold. The colour-scheme of the video and sound blocks have been changed. It seems as if they are trying to make it look like a Magix layout. It runs OK, but really sucks memory and even my very high-speed quad core had an occasional stall during operation. The Pro X2 runs much smoother than this one. But surely the biggest flaw here is the fact that you can no longer create custom MPEG-2 profiles. This is a real pain. They make you do with a couple of HDV pre-sets which create huge files. The previous Pro X2 did allow you to create any custom MPEG-2 file you want...including HD 720p and 1080p. Why take this away? So my advice? Get the 'Videostudio Pro X2 Ultimate' instead. It is a far better software and runs much smoother, with more render options. Sorry Corel...this new one just ain't up to the job!
