3.0 out of 5 stars Still easy, desperately needs stability and improved performance..., December 19, 2006

This review is from: Pinnacle Studio MediaSuite v 10.5 Titanium Edition (CD-ROM)

This is my third Pinnacle product; my last was Pinnacle Studio Deluxe rev8 w/AVDV capture card. In upgrading to my now 10.5 {.7 patched,} Studio Plus T.E. I was pleased to see the hardware worked immediately. {I've worked the most with analog input, 8mm tape.}

1. My recommendations would be to improve the loading time, it's far too long, and while it eventually loads, it gives the appearance of having stalled.

2. Another would be to improve the stability; I have had several "stop-crash-return to Windows" events. I've always been able to recover so little was lost but it's frustrating and disconcerting (with XP, 2ghz, 1.5gb ram, 300gb separate capture hdd).

3. Rendering time should be estimated as soon as possible, it's hard to know how to plan the tasks. I've finally given up and do all my rendering overnight before going to bed.

Barring these recommendations, the product is easy to use in a basic mode and more complex projects are straightforward with a little study.

(This summary is as submitted to Pinnacle Systems. However, the notes in { } have been added for readers here)

Thanks, and best wishes for your projects!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for the faint of heart, December 13, 2006

By 

Doctor Mark "Cheap Scientist" (honolulu, HI, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pinnacle Studio MediaSuite v 10.5 Titanium Edition (CD-ROM)

As of the date of this review (Dec. 13, 2006) there were only two consumer video editting programs that support the conversion of HDV format video to HD DVD format video, at least the kind you can burn to a dvd-r or dvd+r blank. The two makers are Ulead and Pinnacle. All the other high falutin' editors, e.g., Final Cut, Avid Liquid, Avid Express Pro, Premiere Pro 2, etc., don't support this feature. Everyone seems to be riding different trains, it appears. Anyway, since this path now exists in Pinnacle Studio v 10.7 and an HD DVD Authoring pack ($50) extra, this is the only reason I purchased this product. I think it works fantastically for the price, and although I have seen a number of bugs pop up (like rtfx crashing for certain video effects), or the inability to burn iso sometimes (I have to use Nero 7), what do you expect out of Pinnacle? These guys did not graduate from the top of their engineering class. Given the complexity of software, even Microsoft and Apple's wunderkinds are also known for a few boners. I'll give Pinnacle credit for excellent encoding quality, a very easy user interface, and nice finished results. You only have to drop in a dvd-r into your Toshiba HD-A1 to see how fabulous HDV can look, when converted to HD-DVD format. You don't even need an expensive HD-DVD blank. Thank you Pinnacle for producing software for the masses, right here, right now, so we can all edit and view our HDV tapes. And not spend over $1000 for (other) bloated editors. You also get an mpeg-4 encoder, for web output. Cheap is good. If you need a green blanket, that too, comes for free. It's for green screen/video superposition effects (which I have yet to try).

1.0 out of 5 stars CRASH!, October 22, 2006

By 

Luis Hamburgh (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pinnacle Studio MediaSuite v 10.5 Titanium Edition (CD-ROM)

I've worked with various Pinnacle Studio versions since last decade, and they've all had two things in common:

1. When the program works, it's superb.

2. The other 50% of the time, it crashes frequently, and hard!

For years, Pinnacle had designed the market's top, novice-affordable video editing/authoring platforms, but for some frustrating reason, they just can't seem to keep the bugs out. This verson is no exception.

Lately, the competition in this market has mushroomed, and there are better alternatives available for the same price. At last, others have emulated the Pinnacle platform while eliminating the work/creativity-killing bugs.

My advice? Shop around. Google the competition. But save yourself the frustration and steer away from anything Pinnacle.
