It may be that professionals other demands on a program for video editing and post questions - for me it is important that I understand how to use the functions quickly and dominant that the program is stable and reasonably fluent and that I am the results can demonstrate end to mumble without embarrassed apologies. Unfortunately, this is only partly the case with the program from Corel. When you install QuickTime from Apple is unasked played with on the PC in addition to the program. It remains a mystery whether QuickTime is now necessary for program execution or not ... but I do not particularly unasked installations. For dealing with the application of the manual is imperative. The infected rather than in the box (which contains only the DVD, a note, cardboard and much air), is also not available on the DVD, but must be driven on the internet. After working out the link to the manual of the program. If you have the document then found and opened again, you find yourself right along well in the many features and possibilities offered by Corel VideoStudio X8. The display is clear and easy to understand with numerous illustrations. That the PDF file is not included on the DVD, is a pity. The rather frequent crashes do not like. I have the software installed on a three year old PC with 8GB RAM / Windows 7 (64-bit). Once more than approximately 5 minutes of video ended up with transitions on the timeline of the program, the application breaks down sooner or later and there remains nothing but the restart. Here, the previous status of the processing is then though largely restored, but a few last attached clips missing after all. After all, you do not have to start from scratch. The cut of each scene gets easier, the transitions can be inserted easily, add music ... with the manual on the screen you will find the functions and settings. Given the wealth of information in the program options, of course, it takes a while to get much, much less everything, tried and evaluated has. The "Fast Flick" program, which also ends up with the installation on the PC, is something like a stripped down version - for less demanding purposes or the hurried visitor. It would be nonsense to repeat the product description in a review - which can indeed find any effortlessly and read. Therefore, only this: What Corel promises of excellent tone to slow motion and -raffer, also works. It takes time, my PC happens to be no high-performance machine for thousand euros, but it works nonetheless. That the program breaks down occasionally, is annoying, but even so you can cope when the video editing is a hobby rather than earning a living. My conclusion: want Given the moderate price quite cut and edit a purchase worth considering for people who occasionally assemble digital recordings. The necessary training in the operation and functions takes time and patience, with the manual is essential. The computing power of a "normal" PC with 8 GB of RAM, 64-bit Windows 7 and much free disk space is enough just so ... all in all, I'm not excited, but happy with Corel VideoStudio X8.
