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

First of all – this software takes FOREVER to install. I’m talk over an hour or more. This is not going to be a “pop in the DVD and it’s done”. You will need an internet connection for some of the install. I found this the hard way when my computer ended up on AIRPLANE mode. And, even when it did connect, it was SLOOOOW. Then, no less than five times did I set a “setup error” pop-up. I even ran the repair, then I had to just uninstall the software. But, that was not easy with the software. I ended up deleting the files from my computer manually. That STILL didn’t get the software deleted. So, I tried the uninstall tool – again, an error. Popped disc out and popped it back in. Maybe it was a bad read. After popping the disc in my drive began going what I’d think was 200mph. Tried the REPAIR tool … again … Got six (6) SETUP error windows. The tool finished and closed. So, in the first 60+ minutes – nothing accomplished. And, this was on a BRAND NEW, OUT-OF-THE-BOX, 4 day old computer. It could have been a BAD disc. After all, if it was my drive, it wouldn’t have read the disc to begin with. I can’t attest to the features of the software since it couldn’t be installed. I’ve always had issues with software from COREL, and thought after 18 years it would be better – not this go around.

Man, was this a disappointing experience. I installed the software and everything seemed to go smoothly, but then I noticed all the crazy bloatware that was installed on my desktop afterwards. Turns out using all the default settings during the setup installation process results in tons of additional and unnecessary software getting installed on your computer which is difficult to completely remove. Theyre not very upfront about this. To make matters worse, VideoStudio constantly crashes. I wasnt able to complete editing any videos because it would crash for no reason and didnt save my work. Once this happened a few times, causing me to start from zero each time, I gave up and threw in the towel. Corel used to stand for quality visual and word processing products. But now theyre just bloated and filled with bugs. Disappointing.

THIS WAS USED! The rigistration number is already licensed to someone else and the disk had many scratches on it also!

Application keeps crashing on startup on new PC running Windows 11 on an Intel 12th Gen processor. Have been using this product from before the purchase by Corel. Customer support is a joke, I can’t get a single person to work with me on figuring out the issue. I have to figure the issue out my self. If I am not able to solve this in the next week they will lose a long term customer. 2nd post. 22 Jan 2022 Still no fix for Windows 11 from Corel.

The software would not load. The reps on the phone were struggling with the English language. The tech person on-line took days to respond and did not fix the problem. I gave up and sent the software back.

Im not able to effectively review a product that will not load on my computer. I have all the requirements on my computer, it should load...but it does not.

Bought this (Corel VideoStudio Ultimate 2021) in spring of 2022 from Amazon. Tried a number of times to install it. Contacted tech support via chat numerous times and got at least 3 different techs. It seems that tech support comes from some business other than Corel. Tried both disc and download versions numerous times. Always encountered 3 or 4 error messages along the way but installation continued until the 4th or fifth error message. Then installation stopped. Error Messages gave no details or codes - only said to contact tech support. During installation of both disk and download my AVG antivirus informed me that the program was trying to install the Win32/Heri virus. I told the program to ignore (not download) the virus although later I allowed the program to download it thinking maybe that was why the Corel program wouldnt install. After contacting Corel we started cycling through the same 4 or 5 solutions. None of them worked. In the meantime I kept receiving emails asking if the problem had been solved. When I clicked on the reply button IMBEDDED IN THEIR EMAIL it went to a website which stated that the website was no longer in use but gave no further instruction!!!! GOODBYE COREL. I LOVED YOU AND 3 OF YOUR PROGRAMS FOR YEARS BUT YOU HAVE TURNED INCOMPETENT. FOUR MONTHS OF FUTILE EFFORT, A PROGRAM WITH A VIRUS AND A DEADEND WEBSITE IS ENOUGH!

It crashes too often such that Im uninstalling it and installing the previous version. Its frankly not wort it. A waste of time.

This is by far the worst performing video editor on the market. It is just a constant Crash Fest , plus each year they put out a new vwrsio,, which is just the same version from 5 years ago with one or two new aspects. If you really want to hate video editing experience, buy this product. Oh, I almost forgot, dont even think about calling tech support, most of them have never used this product and will only give you pre scripted assistance. This product is definitely a Thumbs Down.

Very detailed manual. Ive used Corel products for years. Always something new to learn.
