Pinnacle Studio 22 - Video Editing [PC Disc] [Old Version]

I used Pinnacle Studio initially from 2003 to 2007 then had a big gap and now purchased Pinnacle 22 again and upgraded to Pinnacle 22 Ultimate. This is absolutely a wonderful software from beginners to professionals. I recommend this to everyone who wants to have Movie Making as a hobby or profession.

overall a good program. It is sometimes hard to edit and save video clips. When you try to delete portions of the video clip after you have cut and separated them, it tends to delete the entire sequence.

I owned older versions of Pinnacle Studio and found ways to use the program around its flaws. I had not edited videos for several years when I needed to do a new project. My old program was not supported by my new computer so I bought an updated version of Pinnacle Studio. It is AWFUL! So many changes from 14 to 22 makes it a completely new program for me to learn. I would be able to learn how the new version works if it did not crash constantly!I've made two movies with Studio 22. The first one we played directly from the laptop to a projector. The second movie has given me problems after problems. (1) It kept crashing as I was adding videos to the timeline. (2) Eventually crashed and would not open. Contacted tech support who had me completely uninstall the program and then do a clean reinstall. That seemed to work while I was editing. (3) I went to export my movie to a format I can share. No matter which format I've tried, it has crashed every single time within seconds of pressing "Start Export."I would not buy this product. It crashes way too often to be able to play with the program to learn all the amazing things it advertises it can do. Save your money. Find some other program!!!

I used Pinnacle Studio 15 in the past and had some issues with instability, but it was workable.I bought Studio 22 to get a few more features and less bugs (or so I had read on a professional review). The features are nice and, although a little more involved than 15, it is not too difficult to use. There are a bunch of video tutorials that get you going. I finished a first project and the program must have froze execution 20 times. But, I completed it and exported it successfully. I went back and made some minor improvements (with another dozen program freeze-ups) and now I get random errors on the export. There is always something that screws up - even in parts of the movie that I didn't touch. Pictures or transitions are black, the start of one video clip now causes a crash. It gets worse with every try. I am very disappointed and am considering returning it. I have a new and powerful computer and a fairly fresh install of Windows 10. There should be no reason for this thing not working. Amazon reviews are more trustworthy than "professional" reviews...

This program lives up to all the feedback and reviews regarding freezing, long rendering times and just a lot of errors. Unless you have a lot of experience using pinnacle and are also proficient with setting up, troubleshooting and changing windows settings, I would try and find another product.

the instruction videos helped with the written instructions to understand the many ways to use the product

I found Pinnacle 22 to be good, accurate and easy to use, but the capacity is limited to brief movies. It is not a difficult program to use, it just takes time and the tutorials are good

There is no way to begin. The tutorials are all jargon--assuming your know all their highly specialized terms. It's not rocket science. I know that... because I'm a rocket scientist! Fluid dynamics makes sense, but this is ridiculous. Do Not Buy this or any version of this software.
