 Studio 12 Ultimate - Disaster September 17, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I purchased this product from Amazon in the mistaken belief it will edit AVCHD. It DOES NOT DO what it says on the 'tin'. The AVCHD technology is new and there is not a capable consumer editing package on the market at this time. Avid/Pinnacle have been over zealous in their advertising and too quick to launch Studio 12-Ultimate as a stable AVCHD editor. It just cannot handle the files and is IMO useless for AVCHD. I have wasted some 80 on a product from Amazon that just does not work. I have a top of the range HP laptop running at 5.66Ghz/4GB ram and Intel duo core CPU and Studio 12- Ultimate causes the sytem to crash everytime I attempt to edit a AVCHD clip in the timeline. I have used Apple Macintosh FCE editor very successfully for HD and SDV but unfortunately it will not handle AVCHD. I thought PS12-Ultimate was the answer. I was sadly and expensively mistaken and misled by both Amazon and Pinnacle. Do not buy this product, in its present form it 'Sux'.

All I want is an editor so I can take other peoples' camcorder DVDs, or my own camcorder stuff, or VHS tapes, possibly with TV extracts; and put them into DVD format or flash video for youtube or DVDs. I'm not interested in fantastic special effects; I'm the equivalent of someone wanting to edit, crop, and adjust still pictures, maybe with some special features here and there, say solarisation, or colour effects or sepia tones -- but with video and sound.
I tried Magix but it has a problem with lip sycnh and is useless for this process.
Pinnacle has a similar interface to Magix - it's unclear what you're supposed to do, what a 'project' is, how to get video files into the system etc. I tried a DVD (not a commercial one - someone had taken this at a meeting). As soon as I tried reading it, I was told I needed to purchase software, or a licence, from Dolby, price not given. The system also told me, when I tried a file saved on hard disk, that it 'doesn't recognise mpg format'. I also read, too late, that the licence only lasts two years.
If you're a normal user who doesn't want to waste time, don't risk your money on this.
 Studio 12 ultimate September 3, 2008

After slating Studio 11, (see my review)for it's lack of AVCHD capabilities, I was impressed with the way it handled DV footage. For this reason I bought Studio 12 and the fact you get Boris Graffiti, Montage, Magic bullets, Vitascene and a green screen which all work very well with Standard DV. I have made a few interesting DV shorts, however, I decided to load some AVCHD files that were left over from using Studio 11 and to my surprise Studio 12 did quite a good job in handling them. It is still early days but I think it just might work, I am in the process of making a short High def film, so far so good. Studio 12 is well worth the money for it's DV capabilities, it is much better than Studio 11, add to this better handling of AVCHD and Pinnacle might have got it right..
My system is:-
Core 2 duo 3.0 Ghz CPU
2 gb Ram
Win XP Service Pack 2
SATA hard drive for operating system.
SATA hard drive for video footage.
512 mb Graphics card.
Gigabyte GA 35 Series MoBo.

I bought this to replace my old Adobe Premiere which will not run on Vista without an expensive upgrade. What a mistake! Even the demo project freezes the program if you try to trim a clip! Looking on the Pinnacle forum it is obvious that Pinnacle have a real problem and it is not just my system that is causing problems. I created a "clean" boot disk using a spare hard drive. With no other programs and a "clean" registry, it still behaved badly but at least it was functional. One day, when they have sorted the major bugs out it will be a good choice but right now, (and especially if you have a computer with other software on it!) AVOID!!!
