Corel VideoStudio Pro X7 (CD-ROM)

Customer Review

I use video editing software for several years to create travel films of approximately 1 hour duration with embedded pictures, transitions, filters and effects (eg Zoom-In-Picture), titles and music. Corel VideoStudio Pro X7 is the first program that will cope with this task. The other programs I had (Pinnacle Studio 11 and PowerDirector 9) previously were overwhelmed and almost unusable due to various quirks and crashes in films of this length.

The positives I want to be brief: The program does what it is intended, does not crash and produces flawless films in HD.

Now for the little weaknesses:
1. When you start the program, the movie plays in the preview window initially quite fluid, even with large projects. After a while (several steps), it begins suddenly to stutter. This remains so until you close the program again and restarts. But that always costs some time.

2. If you go to a clip applies a filter (eg zooming and panning), then you can make it no more snapshot. But that would be often very useful when you do in photos (panoramas) per program a swing and will be the start and end positions any longer.

3. The filters and effects I find sometimes very confusing and hard to use, or understand. That may be due to me and because I was used to the operation concepts of the other programs.

4. If you removed from the film a clip, and the transition effect disappears. If I have defined a standard effect for each clip, I would expect this is true of the default effect for the resulting new transition.

Just as it should be 2 Rank: 5/5
