I figured this forum was the best place to find out if this is true or not. I own Ulead PhotoImpact 10 and like it a lot. So I'm not unfamiliar with Ulead's products. I'm new to the home movie/dvd creation side of things so I need something that can give me as much bang for the buck, but not be too complicated. I welcome any input from you - the users of the product - so I can try and figure out which program to buy.
I hear that PhotoImpact's technical support isn't very good (I've never had to contact them with PhotoImpact). I even emailed Pinnacle re the problem of accessing the trial version but never received a reply - so perhaps that is something to weigh in your consideration? Is this true also?Īlso, I was wondering if Video Studio 9 actually does the burning of the dvd and does it take the video right from the video camera? I've just started my research on this and can't remember some of the features. I have never experienced a problem downloading any of ULead's products. Eventually I managed to get a trial version of Pinnacle Studio 9 from the cover disk of a magazine - but by then I was a confirmed ULead VS user and so didn't really bother looking too closely at Pinnacle's offering. VS 9 allows you, in its simplest usage form, to capture from your camera and make a DVD with a minimum of input from you the user - but VS 9's main power is the ability to edit the video prior to making your DVD. If you just want to go straight from camera to DVD ULead have cheaper products.īut download the trial and give it a run around the block and goodluck with your quest.

I'm looking for good editing software that isn't overly complicated. I will indeed get the trial versions and see which one I like the best. I guess I was also just looking for the 'good old word of mouth' info too. The best suggestion is to trial them both - both suppliers offer trial downloads of their respective product - although the one time I tried to download Pinnacle's tool I found I was unable to get it. The download just seemed to stall and never recovered - I tried repeatedly over the course of a week with no success. I even emailed Pinnacle re the problem of accessing the trial version but never received a reply - so perhaps that is something to weigh in your consideration? :-)īut download the trial and give it a run around the block :-) and goodluck with your quest. I was wondering if Video Studio 9 actually does the burning of the dvd and does it take the video right from the video camera? Yes, it does both.īut, a few users have had difficulty transferring their video to their computer via Video Studio.

This shouldn't be a big deal because your camera should have come with the software and drivers for that purpose. (I assume you have a digital camera with a FireWire or USB2 port.) #Pinnacle studio 9 tutorial drivers# This can all get very confusing, since Ulead seems to claim that all of their products do everything. Its mainly for "cutting & splicing", adding transitions & titles, background music etc.

Video studio can author and burn DVDs, but its DVD authoring capabilities are limited. DVD authoring is what's done to make a DVD from a completed movie.
If you want to make DVDs with fancy-custom menus, subtitles, or multiple soundtracks, try-out Ulead DVD Workshop.

If your running Video Studio, you can run the Special Upgrade version of DVD Workshop express ($150). Some of Pinnacle's products can create Dolby 5.1 surround audio tracks. (Of course, you need a six-channel source and the audio-editing software to prepare your digital surround soundtrack.) As of now, Ulead's products can only do 2-channel Dolby AC3. I have used both and concur you should try them if you can before you buy.
