Having taken a great deal of camcorder footage on a recent touring holiday in Canada, I turned to my long owned(but little used)Pinnacle Studio 9 editing package. After some initial difficulty,I eventually captured the project into the software. That's when the problems started!
It took many,many attempts to edit the first hour of video because of repeated hangups/crashes, which meant computer restarts each time.
However,after sheer dogged determination, and taking each editing process very slowly, I achieved the desired edit and moved on to the movie capture stage to start the process of transfer to DVD.
Hours and hours of attempts to render for this purpose caused variable crashes everytime!
My computer specifications met all the requirements on the box, but the program would not work and left me Very frustrated after so many lengthy periods of abortive effort.
I decided to try the free trial offered by Sony of their editing package, which looked fine and certainly appeared much more stable, and was very close to purchasing that package. However, there is something about the Pinnacle software which drew me back to try once more, and when I saw the Amazon much reduced price for the basic Studio 12 package I gave it another go.
Oh Blessed Relief!!
The project already created transferred easily to the new version and the movie was processed and burnt successfully to DVD on the first attempt. Also subsequent captures and editing has proceeded smoothly without problems and the earlier frustrations have almost been forgotten. Therefore, it's thumbs up from me to Pinnacle 12.
But, Pinnacle, I cannot give you the full stars because of the earlier pain.

In all theory this should be a fantastic application, the software is very intuitive and there and so many creative options... but (and this is a huge but) there are so many glitches in the software that cannot be overcome! Basically it is an incredibly frustrating bit of software that very rarely runs , if it wasn't was something that I could pick up and smash against a wall I would have done it long ago! Do yourself a favour and look at other video editing software options.

After up grading my home camcorder i discovered the Microsoft Movie Maker could not edit my MPG-4 files. So i had to purchase a new software package. I came across the Pinnacle suite on Amazon amongst others, Pinnacle for me stood out, they have a great website that has video tutorials and regualar feature updates to help you create different end results. I read reviews for the product some good....some not so good. I recieved the product and loaded it straight away. Not being one for instruction manuals i opened up Pinnacle and it looked and felt exactly the same as MMM. Video clips at the top, drag them down into the timeline, add music, effects, titles the normal stuff. So on i went adding all my clips to the timeline and got my movie to about 50-60mins long. It was at this point that i became frustrated. It seems when you have large amounts of data on your timeline, the software freezes. You have to exit it completely and go back in. Positivly Pinnacle rememberd it had a fault last time you opened it and takes you back to where it exited, so none of my work was lost. However this posistive was lost when it did it again and again and again. I learnt however that if you just have a little patience with the programme and didnt speed around the interface clicking madly, and just let the programme finish the last task it would start to work better.
Overall the product is good, with some good basic effects. If i had my time again i would think about paying a little extra for the Pinnacle 12 Plus which has all transistions, effects unlocked as it became frustrating using the limited ones available.
Dont expect to be wowed, but buy it for a simple home movie editing software to show your friends and family.
