General Comments

I was looking at Pinnacle Studio 7 video creation and editing software some time ago but decided to hold off due to some issues with that particular version. When Pinnacle Studio 9.0 Upgrade came out, I decided it was time. Was I wrong! I am running Windows XP with an up-to-date, fast processor so I thought I was ready for anything. I tried 4 times to load this software and my system crashes every time. I closed all unnecessary programs before attempting the install with no luck. I tried both "Typical" and "Custom" installation methods with no luck. Pinnacle needs to address these installation problems right away. Go ahead and take a chance but I would recommend staying away from this mediocure software until Pinnacle's software engineers get a clue.

    I support the previous comments for the following reasons. I upgraded from V7 to V8 and had difficulties which were eventually resolved by their support services. It appears that the normal uninstall program left some records in registry which could only be removed using a download. V8 worked reasonable well but was prone to crashing so not completely satisfied. Perhaps foolishly I upgraded to V9 Plus which produced new problems, dropped frames as the C drive was found to be too slow. Funny that it was OK with V8. I then uninstalled all and reinstalled starting at V7 but now find that V8 has the same problems as I found with V9. I tried the microsoft editing program to check the ability of the C drive to read from the camera and all is OK My conclusion is that the Studio programs are unstable and prone to faults and so cannot recommend them. I am now looking for a robust editing program so does anyone want a Studio 8 & 9 Manual
