![]() ![]() Multicam editing is the brightest new star in Pinnacle's upgrade galaxy, but as with my experience in VideoStudio, I ran into the a crashing bug - for which Corel says a patch is coming in the next couple of weeks. Pinnacle Studio is optimized for Intel's latest Skylake processor and supports 64-bit performance, as do competitors CyberLink PowerDirector, Adobe Premiere Elements and Corel's own VideoStudio. ![]() We timed rendering at both 60 fps and 30 fps.ĭespite the busy interface, the moviemaking process was straightforward. We combined six clips into a 2.5-minute video shot at 60 frames per second and rendered the projects to MPEG 4 at 720p. Its 64-bit Intel Core i5 processor with 5200U CPU runs at 2.2-GHz on an HD Graphics 5500 system with 8GB of RAM. Studio Plus also has more sophisticated image tools, allowing you to pan and zoom an image to create animated slide shows.We tested the program on an HP Spectre x360 laptop running Windows 10 Home. The latter resizes the overlay and positions it on top of the main track. The former allows you to remove a single background colour to cut the subject matter out and superimpose it on a different background. In tandem with this extra track, Pinnacle has added chroma keying and picture-in-picture. Most important of these is the second video track, with which you can overlay one layer of video on top of another. ![]() Although the latter primarily relies on templates, the Title Deko engine means you can also extensively reconfigure DVD menu layouts or even create your own.įor an extra £20, the Plus version adds some useful features. Titling is adeptly executed by the powerful Title Deko, which also supplies the engine for Studio’s built-in DVD authoring. Best of all, Studio can create 5.1 surround soundtracks. There’s a noise-reduction tool and five VST plug-ins, including an equalizer and level normaliser. ![]() Studio’s audio handling is commendable too. Both filters and transitions can be extended with premium effects – pack add-ons, although these are pricey considering Studio’s low cost. The range of transitions is extensive, and includes some natty 3D wipes courtesy of Pinnacle’s Hollywood FX engine. Multiple filters can also be applied at once. Still, Studio bears up well it has a decent set of filters that range from practical options, such as colour correction, to more stylised choices such as old film effects. Not only did Ulead’s last version of VideoStudio (see p165) offer a few more editing features, but Adobe has finally dismounted its high horse and released the cut-down Premiere Elements. However, the entry-level video-editing market has really livened up of late. ![]()
