    Good Points: I have not used any other software so cannot comment on how Pinnacle Studio 9.0 compares with others but it is quite comprehensive which is why I have stuck with it so long.


    Bad Points: The crashes and slow running just drive you crazy.


    General comments: I have been using Studio for some years now. I originally bought Studio 7.0 and am now non Studio 9.4.3.
    I have always lived in hope that the software would eventually get sorted out and that is why I paid for the upgrade. When it works it is okay, has some nice features, BUT you get the feeling that Pinnacle just cannot get it right. Just recently I have found yet another flaw with the software and even considered upgrading, but then I thought enough is enough, let's put this down to experience and move on.

    I work in IT as a hardware engineer and use my PC a lot and do not have any issues with any other software but Studio.

    If, like me you are sick and tired of the irritating "program not responding... send error report" dialogue boxes, then Pinnacle is not for you. I am currently (not) using studio 10 - there are much better video editing suites out there on the market for around the same price.
    I would avoid this product at all costs.

    Easy to use, does everything it says if you read the instructions fully. Most people do not have a system up to the standard required to video edit with out problems. I have used different software over the years to video edit and pinnicles is one of the easiest to use and fastest. But you need to do your homework, ie defragging harddrives as is the normal for editing work. stop all background task again normal. Have at least 2 harddives as a minium. 1 harddrive is no use in video editing and ...

    The box said it did what I wanted it to do, but the Pinnacle Studio 9 video creation and editing software made Windows Explorer crash - every time. Impossible to delete created files. Actually impossible to completely uninstall. A waste of money at whatever price.

    The Pinnacle Studio 9.0 Video creation and editing software is highly unstable.
    Whatever good points it may have, are negated by the fact that it hangs or crashes frequently, particularly during editing.
    I am seriously considering reporting this product to the Trading Standards people.

    Stay away from Studio 9 - having successfully used Studio 8 with my Belkin USB Videobus II to capture video fro my VCR, have been told that it will not work with Studio 9 and more importantly will NOW not work with Studio 8 either!! A very disappointing waste of money!! don't buy it!!

    I have to report that this Pinnacle Studio 9.0 Video creation and editing software does not work with my hardware, which is a recently installed 2.2 GHz Athlon with ample graphics capabilities on a very good ASUS Mobo.
    Pinnacle are guilty, at the very least, of totally immoral marketing practices. The problem I have is that the video capture card I have, whilst it functions perfectly well with Windows Movie Maker 2.0, does not work with Studio 9. I purchased Studio 9 because of the reviews in ...

    I have been trying for days to create a 10 minute video with Pinnacle Studio 9.0 video creation and editing software. First I had problems capturing the video. Fianlly I worked around that with no help from the Tech. staff at Pinnacle. Now i can't render and burn a DVD, I did everything in their instruction manual and still does not work, e-mailed the tech. people and they want to do everything except sell my first born.
    To many bugs, stay away, don't buy this program!
