| Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 11 Named PC Magazine's Editors' Choice Pinnacle Systems announces that Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate is the recipient of PC Magazine's prestigious Editors' Choice Award for consumer video editing software. This brings the number of consumer and retail awards received by the Pinnacle Studio product line to 36 since its May 2007 release. Jan Ozer, PC Magazine's reviewer, praised Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 11 for its stability, noting, "I can say without question that it's the most stable version I've ever seen, and, in that respect, comparable with if not better than other video editors I've tested." In addition to calling the product's new pan-and-zoom feature "the most competent pan-and-zoom tool available in any editor, professional or consumer", the reviewer cited other key benefits including the product's unparalleled usability, a range of high-quality configurable effects and an audio noise removal tool. He also noted that, "Pinnacle Studio is the only company with such an extensive library of event-specific effects, either bundled with the product or available as an option." Designed for Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista systems, the Pinnacle Studio 11 family includes Pinnacle Studio, as well as Pinnacle Studio Plus and Pinnacle Studio Ultimate with HD support. All three versions include Smart Movie, the automated and time-saving tool that has made Pinnacle Studio a compelling solution for consumers who have never edited before and advanced users who want to quickly create entertaining movies in just a few easy steps. With support for the AVCHD format, the Plus and Ultimate versions of Pinnacle Studio enable users to capture video from the new AVCHD camcorders and edit their content directly — without requiring time-consuming format conversions. Videos that have been edited in the HDV or AVCHD format can be authored to standard DVD media that will play on the latest Blu-ray and HD DVD players. They can even be enjoyed on an Apple iPod, Microsoft Zune, Sony PSP, and other portable devices. Users can also mix SDV, HDV and photos to create a project that will be "up-sampled" to HD resolution. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
