PINNACLE STUDIO 20 REVIEW SOFTWARE
More importantly, though, Pinnacle Studio Ultimate is one of three of versions of the same piece of software offered by the company. It’s surprisingly useful and soon becomes a comfortable way to work.
While video editors tend to allow users to switch between timeline and storyboard modes, Pinnacle Studio offers both on the same screen. The layout, for example, is a little unusual. Look a little closer though, and the differences become clearer. All the basic tools that an editor will find themselves turning to again and again are right there - as they are in Adobe’s Premiere and Corel’s VideoStudio. The software comes with a 21-day pass to training material and a stock library. Pinnacle Studio offers many of the same features that any filmmaker would expect from a video editing tool: multi-camera editing, stop-motion animation, montage templates for easy storyboarding, a large asset library and a huge selection of transitions. The question is whether budding filmmakers should make the effort to walk away from the familiar and the famous towards a path less taken.Īt first glance, they have little reason to. They’re excellent video editors that deliver very similar services and are much closer at hand.
Because while Pinnacle Studio 20 glitters and delivers real value, Adobe’s Premiere and Corel’s VideoStudio both also gleam. There’s gold in those hills… and it’s yours if you can be bothered to get up and hike out there.
