I bought this a few months ago and it has been fab so far not one problem to say about it ,I use the firewire port from my camcorder to my pc,it imports the video perfect no problems at all, edits it ,can add music to it,never crashes can burn it to disc or hard drive not a problem, the finish product is always 100%.I would recommended this software to anyone,I have always had pinnacle to edit my videos as I do weddings in my spare time also events,I believe pinnacle is easy to understand & easy to use,yes over the years some of the Pinnacle software has not been up to standard,but I would say the major problems for people is to use the firewire port not usb port, your computer has to be top spec for taking video footage eg: lots of memory, good graphics card like nvidia & your hard drive has to be at least 7200rpm & over 200GB for taking video footage if you have all of this you should begin making great movies

Studio 12 ultimate 3 Sep 2008
By G. Wade
After slating Studio 11, (see my review)for it's lack of AVCHD capabilities, I was impressed with the way it handled DV footage. For this reason I bought Studio 12 and the fact you get Boris Graffiti, Montage, Magic bullets, Vitascene and a green screen which all work very well with Standard DV. I have made a few interesting DV shorts, however, I decided to load some AVCHD files that were left over from using Studio 11 and to my surprise Studio 12 did quite a good job in handling them. It is still early days but I think it just might work, I am in the process of making a short High def film, so far so good. Studio 12 is well worth the money for it's DV capabilities, it is much better than Studio 11, add to this better handling of AVCHD and Pinnacle might have got it right..
My system is:-
Core 2 duo 3.0 Ghz CPU
2 gb Ram
Win XP Service Pack 2
SATA hard drive for operating system.
SATA hard drive for video footage.
512 mb Graphics card.
Gigabyte GA 35 Series MoBo.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this because it is claimed in the specs that it will handle HD with no loss of quality. But this is not true. It does not have 'smart rendering' so insists on re rendering AVCHD even if the output is set to match the input. The result is a quality drop and very extended rendering times compared to products that do 'smart render'.
Another astonishing failing is that despite claiming Dolby 5.1 support, it is incapable of passing 5.1 from cameras that record in this to the edited result! It merges it to old 2 channel stereo.
This is going back to Amazon I'm afraid. Just not fit for purpose.
The product itself was stable enough on my Quad 6600 with the current patch added.
