Product Description:
PINNACLE STUDIO 12 ULTIMATE




Rating: - Hopelessly bug-ridden - AGAIN

Some effects are useless because they look so crappy, but some of the color correction and other picture manipulation work really well.

Rating: - Unstable platform
I bought Pinnacle Ultimate 12 because I had used Pinnacle before - in the 1990's - and had some success with it, albeit, then, the edition I was using was fraught with stability problems. Later, I realised most of these were to do with lack of computer power. Recalling this, I opted for a brand new computer with 4 g RAM, high speed Hz processor with 420 g HD, and presumed the newer version would have improved, that this level of power would make the thing work. Oh dear. Ultimate 12 loads with a wobble to ... Read More
