Saleen's Review of Pinnacle Studio 8
31st Jul 2004
Overall Rating
- Value for money
The good points don't matter if you can't get it to work right
Bad Points
Constantly hangs, countless errors, slow to render, menus are near impossible to make, better title-making in Windows Movie Maker that comes with Windows for free.
General Comments
Pinnacle Studio 8 is the biggest piece of garbage on the market. Spend the money for a better video editor, because all the time you will WASTE using Studio 8 will cost you more than a good piece of software would, not to mention the stress you will have from spending hours and hours on a project only to spend DAYS trying to burn it to DVD without success. After hours of rendering, the program will sometimes just hang at random spots and you will have to start again from scrath. Sometimes, it will finish rendering, and then it will "fail to compile" and you will have to start from scratch. Or, sometimes it will give an "incorrect media type" error for no reason, and the only way to clear the error is to, you guessed it, start from scratch. THEN, they have the gall to try to get you to pay to upgrade features that are supposedly included, as well as to fix "some of the bugs" - why should I PAY THEM to fix SOME OF THE BUGS - they messed it up, fix it for me for FREE. Not to mention, I have seen reviews that the bugs are just as bad with the upgrades. I will never buy anything from Pinnacle again.
