Pinnacle Studio 25 | Video Editing & Screen Recording Software [PC Disc] [Old Version]

Installed 2 times and no program launch after spalsh. I have placed a support request with Corel. Waiting for response. Update - Customer service has not responded to three requests. Update 2 - Customer service replied by email. After several hours of trial and error, I bought a Roxio burning program and was able to make ISO videos and burn them to disk.

I havent seen such bad software since the 90s! Heres a partial list of problems I had with it: 1) Video clips got cut short when importing 2) Video clips got garbled after editing (ie, jerky, jumpy quality) 3) Screen recorder produced poor quality recordings - worse than many freeware programs 4) Preview didnt correspond well to video, making it impossible to edit with any precision 5) Program froze frequently 6) Tech support experiencing higher call volume than usual I would rather get a root canal than work with this software again. Luckily, I found a freeware video editor with a cheap upgrade that works vastly better than Pinnacle Studio!

Really like the easy of use

This paste works for filling in scratches but does not change the colours in general.

I have been using Corel Draw for 30 years and have used Pinnacle studio since version 7. I made over 300 professional diving videos with Studio 7-9. I loved the product and the results helped me land a gig with The Amazing Race. So when it came time to make videos for my employer for You Tube and Facebook naturally I chose Studio 25. Though a lot has been added over the years the appearance was recognizable and I went right to work. Since then it has been nothing short of a pain in the butt. I would add a clip and split the sound to adjust noise reduction and the sound in the edit mode shows graphically but you cannot hear it. I would have to close the program and go back in only have it to work until I made another adjustment. The same happened when i added music to the background. I was expecting this clip to take less than an hour to complete. I already have 8 hours on it and it is still not finished... making me look like an idiot in front of my boss. I would be happy if you brought back Studio 8! This version should have not made it out from Beta. WAIT... it gets worse. I contacted customer support last Thursday 2/9/22 (from some foreign country) and it is Monday 2/14/22 and I have yet to hear back from them. I gave it 2 stars simply because I love the original programs and know what it can do. Otherwise... 1 star!

Great features but very intuitive. Also strong training support ...

It took a while for me to get Pinnacle Studio 25 installed and then working. Once I had it installed, all my other applications began to work slow. If I printed a document, it would take 5 minutes to print. After a couple of days nothing would work. So I contacted Geek Squad and paid to have it fixed because their customer service was useless. Geek Squad remote couldn’t fix it after four attempts, so they told me to bring my computer in and leave it with them. They had to remove everything and reinstall my factory applications and I had to reinstall the applications I had previously installed. While I edited one video that took over twelve hours to upload, this product cost me too much money and time that I can’t get back. Thus, I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy.

I started with Dazzle many years ago and have been along for a sweet ride with Pinnacle Studios ever since. Pinnacle 25 has been great so far as we are overseas and pulling our various trip media into something which is reasonable to share with others. I am getting familiar with Iphone media formats as one of us has recently moved over from Android and GUESS WHAT?!?! Pinnacle 25 works with Iphone too. Lots of variation in media input as well as output formats. Great job gals and guys !

Transition usage could be better.

easy to use program, simple and good functions for video edit
