I’ve owned Pinnacle Studio since version 7 and recently upgraded to version 10 Pro.
What a piece of crap! I’m using it on a Core2 Duo clocked at 3600MHz, 2 GB of DDR2 and an ATI X1900xtx video card, 400GB RAID SATA-II.
This program eats the machine alive and blows up constantly. I have wasted more time working through the app then actually using it.
I bought the upgrade because a current project I’m doing every 2 weeks includes webcasts in WMV, QT, iPod Video, Real and 3G. I thought doing the simple bi-weekly 10 minutes edit in Studio would be beneficial since I can export right out in all these formats.
NOT SO!
This is the type of program that gives the PC its bad name. Real crap programming with loads of marketing sell ontop.
All the export options are limited, the iPod export sounds horrible, scratchy sound and substandard video quality. After the first show, I switched to Adobe Premier Pro 1.5 and completed the entire project in a fraction of the time, including exporting all formats in separate applications that do each one justice.
STAY AWAY FROM STUDIO 10 !!!!
