3.0 out of 5 stars Don't purchase this software if ...
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024
This software is fine for causal video editing and creation and here's why.

First off, Pinnacle Studio software is buggy and often requires reinstallation. (2) I system build and do countless software and hardware upgrades. For example, I just upgraded my boot drive to a Samsung EVO 870 1TB SSD.
So when reinstalling on new drive, Pinnacle generates a irritating and nonsensical error code: 1001 which states "this serial code has been used to many times." It's counterintuitive for the creators of this software to suggest an owner of said software has limitations on how many times software can be reinstalled.

Please provide work around!

2.0 out of 5 stars why is it, they make it harder with each new edition
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024
Why is it? With each new edition, they make it harder to use, and no real support to explain how to correct a problem. Wish they would take the time, to create you-tube videos for each section of there program , to make editing easier,,

1.0 out of 5 stars Installing Pinnacle Studio 25 Broke My Computer
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2022
It took a while for me to get Pinnacle Studio 25 installed and then working. Once I had it installed, all my other applications began to work slow. If I printed a document, it would take 5 minutes to print. After a couple of days nothing would work. So I contacted Geek Squad and paid to have it fixed because their customer service was useless. Geek Squad remote couldn’t fix it after four attempts, so they told me to bring my computer in and leave it with them. They had to remove everything and reinstall my factory applications and I had to reinstall the applications I had previously installed. While I edited one video that took over twelve hours to upload, this product cost me too much money and time that I can’t get back. Thus, I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trouble from the start
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2022
I had an old Pinnacle program that I used for over 10 years and I loved it! Then I decided to use the Pinnacle 25 and I have had nothing but trouble with it. When I ask for help, they do respond but they want me to do higher tech things to fix a new program. I think that something new should work properly and I should not have to make many tech moves to get it to work.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very buggy and support is meaningless
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2023
I have owned many versions of Studio (ultimate) in the last 15 years or more, and still have 18 and 22 on my wibdows 7 computer. I have also owned several versions of Power Director and a few other programs for video editing. But, Studio was always my preferred software. Until this version.

1. It came with around 100 extra titles, transitions and overlays that are placed on your computer desktop during installation. WHY? Each of these must be imported manually into the program. And, if you do not want half your desktop screen blocked by the files, you must first copy them to another location.

2. During creation of my first movie with version 25, I discovered that around half of the soundtract files would not download and play. This was followed shortly after by loss of titles and transitions. To get the files back I was directed to reset Studio. When that did not work, I was told to reinstall. For each of these solutions the 100 plus extras had to be reimported. The reinstall brought back the lost transitions, titles and overlays, but not the soundtracts.

3. I finally imported a family video on DVD last week as one file. Unfortunately, the sound became very high pitched like talking after inhaling helium. So, I re-recorded the family vidro from VHS to DVD in small sections and imported the smaller segments from the DVD. The sound was perfect.....until I started cutting and editing. Then the sound no longer matched the video segments. I gave up and used Power Director 20 for this video.

4. While working on the family video, before giving up, the pan/zoom and video effects buttons stopped opening the windows that let you do the pan/zoom and effects. No way to use these items.

5. Finally, the customer support are no more the mindless robots who send canned responses each time you contact them. AND, GUESS WHAT THE SOLUTION IS TO EVERYTHING. RESET OR REINSTALL. In over 3 months of using this version of Studio and asking (even numbering) questions, I have NEVER received a direct answer to ANY of them. Even when I continually beg them to answer my questions, I receive a canned response that explains how to take and send screenshots, reset, reinstall, and read FAQS on their web site (which do not address these issues but do tell you how to reset or reinstall the program.

One question I asked was what is causing the issues because until that is determined and corrected, you may needcto reset or reinstall every day fir the rest of your use of Studio

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use. Great features
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2022
I have used Pinnacle for years. From my first version 17 it was easy to use and had more features than I could ever use. This new version seems faster processing, contains more features yet keeps the basic format so I'm not re-learning the basic format.
