I've used Corel's Pinnacle on Windows XP then moved on to Vista with Video Studio 2018 and Windows 10 with Video Studio 2019. Those products performed adequately, but the rendering took forever and .MOV video from my Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera was a problem. Furthermore, Video Studio 2018 and 2019 lacked the 'smarts' to take advantage of high performance Graphic Processor Units from Nvidia and AMD.
I'm happy to report Video Studio Ultimate 2021 solved those problems! After installation I took a video project that took well over an hour to render with Video Studio 2019 on my high performance workstation where my AMD Radeon GPU was essentially 0%. Running Video Studio 2021 it took just a few minutes to render and my AMD Radeon GPU utilization was 90% to 100%, so all those 32 graphic core processors were getting used.
The Video Studio 2021 install was simple and it automatically activated the AMD GPU and set the proper memory interface window into the AMD Graphic Memory.
The .MOV file format problem from DSLR cameras (at least my camera) has been solved. Now I can import video files without conversion. This saves a ton of time.
The only thing that I could not get working was direct capture from my DSLR into VS 2021. This could be do to the fact that my DSLR shows up as a mobile device in the operating system device list and not as a camera. The camera works fine in Zoom sessions and DSLR application software so I know the driver is fine and working. This is not a show stopper since I have simple work around solutions. I suspect if Video Studio knew where to look for the device under mobile devices all would be fine.
For me a wonderful improvement over VS 2018 and 2019.
