They say you should install the patch. Some people couldn't even get PS 10 started before applying that patch. |

yep 2 weeks after the release there was a Patch, it helped, but im still using 9
Im just fed up with throwing money at Pinnacle, pay for that pay for this, upgrade to that for XX amount, it just goes on and on.
YOu get so far into it all and think you cant go back as you have spent too much allready and have to stick with it :(
Has anyone made a change from Pinnacle to another package ?
We all know its very difficult to learn another peice of software , but has anyone managed to do it and found something better ?

Why don't you try Avid's little wonder? www.avid.com/freedv/ If you can learn it, maybe enlighten the rest of us. I personally would love to master it, didn't make it so far. |

| |  Adobe Premier 6.5
I'm still using Pinnacle Studio 9.4.3 which is an upgrade from 9.3 which came bundled with my ATI AIW X800XT video board so I didn't pay anything extra for it. So far it does everything I need without purchasing any add-ons or plugins from Pinnacle.
Given all the product quality issues I have read in various forums (including this one) about version 10 and prior versions, I will not purchase anything from Pinnacle for this product.
Let me also take this opportunity to thank everyone for all the forum posts that have alerted me to the product quality issues. This has lead me to look elsewhere when deciding on making a purchase if I need to.
At this point I am looking at Adobe Premier 6.5. I haven't tackled it yet, and I hear there is a bit of a learning curve to use it, but if it does everything Pinnacle Studio 9.4.3 does as well if not better, then I will likely go with it.
Although this is an older software product (which also means if I want to purchase it, it should be less expensive than the newer Adobe Premier Pro 1.5), I have read a number of very good reviews of it, something which I find very difficult to find with Pinnacle Studio. Adobe Premier 6.5 is also a better solution for me than Adobe Premier Pro 1.5 because I run Windows 2000 Pro and Adobe Premier Pro 1.5 will not install on Windows 2000 Pro.
That's my two cents (or pence) worth at this time. Since I consider myself computer savvy (being a software engineer for decades) I am confident that any learning curve for me won't be an issue, and from what I've read Adobe Premier 6.5 can handle anything that Pinnacle Studio can do as well.  |

Hey guys - new to the forum. I just got Pinnacle S. Pro 10 the other day as a gift, but everything I've been reading about it concern the instability of it. I haven't used any other home software, but I know Avid pretty well - so that's why Pinnacle appealed. I haven't opened it yet, because the store won't return opened software.
With all the bad comments on SP 10, I'm looking at other editors. Mainly Adobe Elements 2.0. Do the patches for SP help? Is it worth keeping, or should I look elsewhere? I can't really test it out, because if I test it, I keep it, essentially.
Never used anything Abobe other than Audition for audio, so I don't know how the video software is. Any advice would be great.
Merry Christmas! |

Welcome to the forums, king! 
I recommend Studio Plus 10 over Premiere Elements 2.0 because of all the extra features. In terms of stability, sure, you'll be much better with Adobe. |

E.g. HD editing or P-I-P, to name just two of them. |

If I had to buy a new NLE right now and I only had 100 bucks in my pocket, I'd get Studio 10+ and not Premiere Elements. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
