Corel VideoStudio Ultimate 2021 | Video Editing Software with Hundreds of Premium Effects | Slideshow Maker, Screen Recorder, DVD Burner [PC Disc] [Old Version]

I bought my first Corel editor about six years ago. It bailed me out by being easier to figure out under pressure than two other expensive editors. Since then, Ive had a soft spot for their products. This one isnt bad but not great either. The install took a while but it worked so..okay. The rendering was faster than what Id been using and it was easy to add music. I couldnt figure out how to capture directly from a professional video--not sure its doable--so that was a disadvantage for what I wanted. Overall, it worked for what I needed and is still very affordable for what you get.

Purchased even though I have a very expensive copy of Camtasia because VideoStudio includes Mercalli image stabilization for really shaky videos. It works well, although it is helpful after the image is stabilized to use the crop tool to exclude the moving margins (the edges of the image shift left and right as the content is kept centered). In other respects it compares favorably to Camtasia, although I find the interface less intuitive (but that may be simply because Im used to Camtasia).

Paint shop Pro has come a long way over the years. I started trying to use it having owned an older version and thought I could get buy. Nothing I’m trying to do is easy. I’ve bought several books and am going to have to spend a lot of time learning. Sorry. Just doesn’t feel intuitive.

couldnt get it to work from the start- on windows 10. there is no tech support. I emailed them with no reply. Theres basically no one to help with issue like this.

OK, I got a good deal, or so I thought. If the program didnt crash and if it didnt have audio issues then this would have been a great deal. I have a Windows 11, 64 bit Home edition PC. It installed quickly due to SSD and I experienced multiple crashes within the first 15 minutes. The program just disappears from view and needs to be restarted. If you didnt save in time then the most recent work will be lost. So, I saved every time I made a change or adjustment. OK, I got that solved, now the audio doesnt work. It has two modes for audio, clip, and project. Clip mode will just play the audio within the clip boundaries. Project mode allows all clips to play with the audio, but there is no sound with it that way. I have made several videos with audio issues that actually worked because I saved the project and then exited the program. Then when I restarted the program the issue resolved itself. However, eventually, that solution stopped working and now I cannot get the audio to reinstate. It now will not play in clip mode or project mode. Windows tried to repair the problem but it didnt work. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it a total of 3 times and now the audio will work in clip mode but not project mode--again! I have Googled the problem and I have sought help in the troubleshooting forums, with no solution. I am now, with less than 3 weeks ownership going to find another video editor. I dont recommend this POS to anybody. Sorry, but thats the truth! Steer clear of this software.

Worst product experience of my life

I have Video Studio X10 and have tried to purchase VS 2022 upgrade twice now and had to get refunds because the program just wont download on my windows 10 machine. Tech support had me deleating C++ files and doing registry edits, oh my. Ive tried to stay in the Corel family but unless it becomes available on a disk, Id say stay away. Other reviews might cover the content but I cant even DL it. I had Pinnacle before but it is download only and Corel download system is broken.

I ordered Corel VideoStudio 2021. The installation on my laptop worked fine but when I attempted to open the application, the splash screen would appear but the application would not open. Ive contacted Corel support three times to troubleshoot this but all they have me do is to uninstall the application, then reinstall it, then try to open it again. This has never worked - the same problem remains. It doesnt appear that I can return this software so I have no way to get my money back for this software.

I`m having difficulty with many of these video editors releases of new full versions that do not seem to have so many features added and instead a ton of templates and cookie cutter content. I also do not like the idea of switching GUI functions on the editor innovative because you must re-learn where everything is again. This makes the new version seem like a switched around skin update (of sorts). I was disappointed to see that I had the prior edition, and they were popping up in my notifications about buying this version for the same price. After trying it (extensively) I concluded that although Ultimate is a great editor, they are hardly trying to reinvent the wheel or too much more of the same old. It has not had any bugs or crashes as the prior versions (yet). People do not buy video editors so frequently unless it`s a budget youtuber and there are many free options like Openshot and others to counter this in almost every feature. So why get it? Well, if you are not familiar with their products, they are great for beginners because of ease of use, support very feature rich with many bells and whistles of much more expensive professional software. It has it all neatly organized with their easy on the eye layouts and their editor lets you get in the grain, while the effects and font selection of subtitles are not as difficult to use as others. Production time is cut dramatically, processing time is smooth too with everything right in front of you (once you get familiar with all the intimidating icons, sliders, fields and scrubber.

This Corel Video & Movie Editing Software was very easy to get installed and setup. The user interface I found wasnt very user friendly. Im not very good at editing videos. I dont do it very often. I take a lot of drone footage from the drones I build. I tried to edit one of my videos and I couldnt figure out how to simply clip a portion of one video and make one small clip. I tried my best to figure it out but I just couldnt manage to get it to work. I was really excited to get this software but it shouldnt take an hour just to figure out how to make one small clip of a larger video. I hope that Ill be able to find an alternate solution to my video editing needs.
