1.0 out of 5 stars One star is One too many, July 28, 2006

Let me sum up this software "total junk"

Pinnacle will give you one free support phone call for help, then $25 for the next call.

They give you free email support, but answer everything but your problem. They try and blame it on Windows XP, and will have you reload Windows.

I owned Studio 8, and it worked fine. Went to Studio 9, and had a few problems. Upgraded to Studio 9 Plus, and after a week of trying to make it render my projects with no sucess, and crash after crash, I removed it from my machine.

They sent me an offer of their all new 10.5 plus upgrade, Hollywood FX, 3 of their Premium packs, and a hat that says Studio 10 on it. This said that the program had been rebuilt from bottom up. This program should be called "Crash after Crash", and the only thing that works is the hat.

If you feel the urge to waste $100, and hours of your time, just buy this product.

Look at the reviews on Studio 10, and the other Studio products, and most only have one star. Out of over 100 reviews over 95% had one star. I found one with 5 stars, but looking at the reviewers other reviews he is obviously an employee, or share holder in the company. He wrote a 1 star review on a Sony competative product, and 5 star reviews for other Pinnacle products that you would not own if 10.5 worked.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you would like to raise your blood pressure 300%, this is 4 U!, July 2, 2006

I had purchased this item because the university had the version 9 and it was nice. Teacher had forwarned us

"Do not buy this product... I am only letting you guys use this because this is the most easiest software for video editing"

Did I listen? No. Silly me purchased this for use in my home because I didn't want to spend hours doing this in the cold school lab. I took hours of video footage. I also used my own voice in some videos like I was suppose to...

When it was time to upload my videos into "movies" and save it for an AVI form... it worked in three of my movies... then... crashed...and crashed... and crashed... and crashed....

So my final project for this class is half done. My presentation for my class was as if I didn't put hours and hours of editing since I was only able to show the 2 out of the 10 videos I did for the class. Thanks to Pinnacle and this POS software, I am expecting an extremely bad grade.

Never buy this product. Ever. Go and get some other video program from other sources. You can download a nice one to preview it and if you like it you can pay the same price. NEVER buy this product.

1.0 out of 5 stars From good to bad, July 21, 2006

Was Loyal - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pinnacle Studio Plus Titanium Edition v10.5 (CD-ROM)

I've been a user of Pinnacle version 8 (which I loved), and needed to update to a version that could burn dual layer DVDs. What a disappointment this "upgrade" has been. Crash after crash. What is most disappointing is that Pinnacle built in a feed back system so the users could "help" them develop a better product. This means to me that they knowingly released bad code, and used their customers as guinny pigs while sticking us for a $100. Guess what, I don't want to help Pinnacle build a better product. I want a product that works when I purchase it.

Lesson learned. Next time I read a bad review on a product, I'm staying away.
