Feinschnitt impossible with the normal version - access only to Ultimate, or at least PLUS!

Versions 8 and 9 and 11 were very familiar to me over the years. After a long break Version 17 is now available. And I have the simple version so not the PLUS nor the ULTIMATE version taken for the beginning (after reviewing the trial) - after all, 60 euros difficult.

After version 15 was well known (unfortunately) an end to the real studio, version 16 tinkers because actually Avid Studio under the hood. And yet I stayed in Studio - other suites in the same price range could not convince me to this day completely. And although the studio was never very stable and was often referred to as margins Studio. And yet it was just very tidy and uncluttered, logical, understandable and the results were quite satisfactory, even after many hours of annoyances.

So now Version 17 - I was quite willing to get involved completely new surface because nevertheless also version 17 still breathing the spirit of the old version - unfortunately with some Verschlimmbesserungen. That in the normal version of the BluRay authoring is not present - fully understand. But as I (although it is listed compared ONLINE but not in the hinged inner part of the sales package) noted later, FINE CUT is no longer possible! Editor - Because it lacks the trim! what shoud that ? Was it used to be so?
So you can only cut on the timeline - and the highly unsatisfactory and at random. Quite crap.

Of course, Corel / Pinnacle or anyone else wants to - nowadays also appeal to customers with less expensive version - but if you with an editing program NOT EVEN REASONABLE CUTTING CAN -. Then it has missed its product Here somewhat undercooked is sold what is scaring off sooner or later also the amateur friend.

Keyword stability: Working with a notebook with an Intel i5 processor and can the pace of work this time even not highlight as the most annoying feature, because so far everything is relatively appealing processed "fast".

Still, this version is a better demo.

Update: After Corel diligently with every negative review a post with a request to contact posted - and I this petition who accepted well thanks - only to me with the standard response "The functions of the different Pinnacle versions are on the website comparing juxtaposed" fob off - I saw led me here again something to add:

Yes, in fact, is this on the website of Pinnacle.

But not in the lid of the hinged retail version! Since Although some functions of the three versions are sporadically miteiander compared, but the lack of fine-cut secretive.

And even if cutting MUST an editing program control - and reasonable. And that you can not do with just the normal version.

Therefore, it is very sad that one has handled me with such a standard response - especially since I indeed in my review mentioned this so. Quite brazen, then the wording of that I know anyway again reproduce.

Also, I must now conclude that longer video files are simply no longer played when she grabs in the timeline. Old VHS videos to digitize (and possibly a few fault points to cut out) is so laborious to or not even actionable ordeal.

Update 2: After the import of MPEG2 files has always been slow and the video suddenly on the timeline or in the preview only with luck and soon could no longer be played, I put my computer to completely re-installed Pinnacle Studio 17 along with the newly published Patch and what happened - nothing! Files can still not play. Same file then once imported into the free software Windows Movie Maker. And what can I say - because the video is running without jerking, no waiting time - a simple MPEG 2 video.

Update 3: you could in the old Pinnacle versions still easily insert clips without that shift the underlying clips on the timeline, it is in version 17 is no longer possible without further ado. So a sound track has been repeatedly shown to asynchronous video track after pasted new clips retrospectively. In various forums there are instructions on how to proceed in order to prevent this, but to me so far, this is not yet succeeded with this version and worse: Which casual - user wants to ransack only various forums to find out how you have to act, so that the program a non apart again pushes the tedious arranging video.

In addition to Pinnacle suddenly can only start again plunges irgndwann from and can be until you restart the computer again persuaded to run. Then I ask myself but why. What does not fit the program even though it was relaunched again until recently and has been installed on a young freunlichen Windows 7?

Update 4: For no apparent reason, the effects database completely disappeared during the machining of four minutes long HD project. It is simply no longer available. With difficulty I was able to the effects in the Pinnacle folder retrieve and re-link, but very time-consuming because the different effect categories are outsourced to multiple folders.

Update 5: Just a note: If you mark a clip in the Timeline, it will be highlighted in orange - and so minimal that it sometimes overlooks the fact that the neighboring clip was selected as well. A slightly thicker border line had here had quite an advantage.

Update 6: Meanwhile Corel Pinnacle offers Studio 17.5 to - probably in response to the almost unanimously negative reporting. I have this "new" version does not use - but the statements in the official Corel Forum speak of a marketing gimmick, saying here a patched version is sold, which is still very flawed - as the statements in the forum, not my own determination ,

Again Theme 3 versions: The normal version has not even a padlock to lock a track, it appears to result shifting of timelines. How should I know before buying? Since the comparison chart on the Internet is silent about it!

I korriege my rating for this additional user unfriendly experience at 2 star down.

To keep good I have version 17, that the rendering now at least a little faster by equipping it as still in the old me known versions - when is it going times.

My suggestion: provided Pinnacle Studio 18 with long-known surface and no longer bring 3 versions, but if at all - only 2, most only one, but not three different versions! Then I also like to stay at Pinnacle.
