1.0 out of 5 stars Major issues with “COM Surrogate (32 bit)” dominating CPU
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2023
“Corel” Tech Support has been absolutely USELESS in fixing the problem which completely takes over CPU - but only when Pinnacle Studio is opened. Even led to restoring the full computer system after Windows Tech Support and McAfee Tech Support did full system scans and found nothing.

I find that the software is difficult to operate at times. Some of the instructions in the manual are not very clear. Some of the functions are complicated and difficult to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complex video editing simplified
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2022
When I first started video editing over 20 years ago, I used Pinnacle Studio.  I enjoyed their easy to use interface.  Of course, back then it was a very basic video editor.  When my video hobby became more ambitious, I turned to professional video editors, using Final Cut when using a Mac and Sony Vegas Pro (now Magix) when on a Windows PC.  Both are excellent editors, but they are not cheap.  When things shut down for Covid, I ended my part time videography business.  But I still like to tinker with videos.  I wanted an updated editor, but without the income, I didn’t want to pay a lot for it.  I figured Pinnacle was good back when I started, and I should give it a try again.

I am very glad that I did.  For those who have had issues, I hope you looked at the system requirements for this package, because they are a bit hefty.  Even far exceeding the system requirements, it took almost an hour for this to install.  That had me pretty concerned.  Nothing has ever taken that long to install on my computer. But after a reboot, I fired up Pinnacle and was on my way. 

The user interface is still much simpler than those professional programs, but the options you have to work with have grown.  There are some impressive video effects, transitions, and sound effects that come bundled with the Ultimate package.  You can have a lot of fun creating some professional quality videos right out of the box, at a fraction of the price.  

I read in some of the reviews that people had issues with the import function.  I imported a two hour video that I created years ago without a problem.  I also used my camera as a DV input and captured video without a dropped frame.  Again, I have to think that part of the issue people may have is the system requirements.  

This is an excellent budget editor that can rival some professional products.  I am so happy I rediscovered Pinnacle Studio!
