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

I had an old Pinnacle program that I used for over 10 years and I loved it! Then I decided to use the Pinnacle 25 and I have had nothing but trouble with it. When I ask for help, they do respond but they want me to do higher tech things to fix a new program. I think that something new should work properly and I should not have to make many tech moves to get it to work.

I have used Pinnacle for years. From my first version 17 it was easy to use and had more features than I could ever use. This new version seems faster processing, contains more features yet keeps the basic format so Im not re-learning the basic format.

Just waste money. Software doest work properly. Read others reviews.

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 !

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

Transition usage could be better.

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

I have been using Pinnacle Studio for a very long time, maybe close to 10 years. I have used it for personal video editing programs, and it is very user friendly. Recently, it was the editing and voiceover program I used for my podcast from 2019-2020, and it was great. I started using Pinnacle Studio 25 for my new podcast, and I was having some technical issues that kept me from doing any work. After the customer rep was unable to help me through chat, my issue went to their email support. The delay time between responses is absolutely horrible. Sometimes it takes more than two days to get a response from what I assume is an outsourced representative, and not someone knowledgeable about Pinnacle Studio. This issue started around late August 20022, and as of late October 2022, I am still trying to get the issue resolved (audio issues). Telephone support is just as bad. I have no problem with outsourcing customer support, but Pinnacle and its parent company (or companies) have decided to leave the solution management to people who are using a manual for answers. I have been unable to use the program properly for almost two months, and it is affecting the production of my podcast. I would recommend using Pinnacle Studio, but if you ever need technical support, plan on it taking an absurd amount of time to get resolved.

I have used the Studio product for over 10 years with limited success with the import function. Even though my PC exceeds the requirements with processor, memory and video it still would lock up on import. The new version 25 while I was importing a DVD the video would duplicate making editing a nightmare. Unfortunately I downloaded the product and cant return. Be very careful and consider other alternatives even if they cost more money.

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!
