Pinnacle Studio

Pinnacle Studio is a video editing program developed and marketed by Pinnacle Systems for PC and iOS. It allows users to author and edit video content to CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray format.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The program is very buggy and lags consistently to the point of crashing.
 * 2) Video rendering is pathetically slow, and rendering in Adobe Premiere is much faster than Pinnacle.
 * 3) The program is a constantly evolving beast and pesters users with updates on a regular basis. To make matters worse, users must pay to upgrade to the newest version.
 * 4) While the extra transitions and effects that come with the Ultimate edition are fun to use and make your videos more interesting, they hog up a lot of hard drive space.
 * 5) In the iOS version, an in-app purchase must be made to unlock cloud sync.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Perhaps the best feature in the program is 3D support if your computer supports it. This gives you the opportunity to mix 3D videos and 2D clips in the same project.
 * 2) Pinnacle can export to many different media formats that can be played on many different devices.
 * 3) The program is a good choice for beginners learning how to edit videos.
