Pinnacle Studio

Software Overview

Corel Pinnacle Studio is a 64-bit consumer level video editing program available on Windows computers. Even though it is a consumer video editor, it has many professional capabilities and features.

Video editing in Pinnacle Studio can be done in a couple of ways based on your preference. The drag-and-drop editing interface lets you simply drag media elements from your library into your project and drop them where you want. It also has a Storyboard mode to help you visualize how your movie will flow. For more traditional editing there is also a timeline editing mode that allows up to six tracks for multi-layered video effects.

Pinnacle Studio provides you with many effects that you can add to your movies. It can rotate and flip video, which can be useful if footage is recorded sideways or if you simply want to add a mirrored effect. Special effects like green screen keying and fast-motion effects are also available, as well as stop-motion animation capabilities. Some other effects that you can add to your video projects are cropping, zooming, and adding titles.

If you are looking for a decent editing program for a great price Corel Pinnacle Studio is an excellent choice. While it doesn't quite hold a candle to professional video editing behemoths, it also doesn't carry nearly as hefty of a price tag. With Pinnacle Studio you also have the option to pick your level of product based on your needs and budget as it comes in the standard, Plus, and Ultimate versions.
