"Pinnacle Studio is a high performing, powerful and feature-rich consumer-grade video editing program"
What do you like best about Pinnacle Studio?

Pinnacle Studio is known for its intuitive interface that is easy to navigate for both novice and advanced users. It also features multiple edit modes and comes pre-loaded with advanced editing tools such as motion tracking, color correction, and audio editing, which allow users to create professional-looking videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinnacle Studio?

While Pinnacle Studio provides some basic audio editing tools, audio editing capabilities are limited compared to other video editing software. Pinnacle Studio can also be resource-intensive, which means that it may run slowly or experience performance issues on older or less powerful computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Program was good but was too unstable."
What do you like best about Pinnacle Studio?

Program has some great features and was easy to use. A nice layout for layering video clips and making cuts and transitions. There are some good audio tracks included, helping with background music selection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinnacle Studio?

Unstable program with too many freezes and crashes. Had to remove it. I was very sorry the program wouldn't run long enough to finish a project. I started with Version 11 and had upgraded all the way up to 19.5 hoping the reliabilty was improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful features but crashes so much it is unusable!"
What do you like best about Pinnacle Studio?

It has powerful features, including very flexible titles, audio editing, fine-tuned adjustments, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinnacle Studio?

It crashes so much it makes it unusable!

I started with Pinnacle Studio 17 a number of years ago, and it crashed a lot. I used their trick to set the priority in Windows to "High" and it performed better. Then I upgraded to Pinnacle Studio 18 when it was released in 2014. Again, lots of crashes. But it at least would let me edit for 30mins or so before crashing. After holding off for a number of years through the different versions, I finally decided to upgrade to Pinnacle Studio 25. I wish I had believed the reviews before I upgraded! It took only 5 mins to experience the first crash, while editing a very simple video. I changed the priority in Windows to "High", but this time it didn't help. I am on a powerful computer - brand new DELL laptop, 32GB ram, powerful CPU, etc. Miles above the minimum specs they recommend. But I experienced about 6 crashes over a period of 30 mins. And often between those crashes it wouldn't even play the video I was trying to edit. It would freeze for a minute or so, and then crash.

Don't buy Pinnacle Studio! They have consistently shown over many years their inability to make their video editing software stable.

On the exact same PC I have installed Filmora X. It runs flawlessly. Unfortunately Filmora X doesn't have the rich features that Pinnacle Studio has, but at least it is stable! It hasn't crashed on me once. Which just goes to show yet again that Pinnacle Studio have failed to build stability into their product, while other software companies can.

"Advanced and creative video editing software"
What do you like best about Pinnacle Studio?

Software with advanced tools and options to have control over the clips, tracks and transition formats on the tracks, on which the video project is edited or developed, color control options, masking, cutting or grouping clips, making transitions or insert pre-established effects to add multiple effects to the videos, it also has a screen recorder where you can go from the recording panel to later go directly to editing, it also has a video screen division, stop motion management, follow-ups of movement and audio editing, it also has the option to add frames to the video editing to make effects and overlays Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinnacle Studio?

I would like the program to have a more extensive graphic interface to deal with the images directly on the video and start editing right there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pinnacle is an oldie but goodie for video editing!"
What do you like best about Pinnacle Studio?

Pinnacle has an easy to use interface even for the beginning and aspiring video editor. I like that with each new release of software they integrate cool features to spice up your finished video product. I also appreciate their excellent support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinnacle Studio?

There is a learning curve to Pinnacle. Finding some of the features and effects can prove a challenge. Guaranteed that you will be using YouTube as a resource for tutorials on how to get the most out of your Pinnacle product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very recommended, easy to use"
What do you like best about Pinnacle Studio?

Pinnacle Studio Plus is an edition software with very attractive tools for making video editing easier without losing the professional look in your final masterpiece.

The software offers nice, importing, editing and exporting tools and the best of it is that has an intuitive workflow.

It contains all the tools every editor needs to transform their footage into a good video

The other thing I like most is that the software can be used by both novice (but not beginners) and advanced users because it combines the timeline and storyboard workflow for maximum usability.

Another useful tool is the video template creator which allows you to use the video you have made for future projects as a template, and later you just need to drag and drop your new footage in. There is an app! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinnacle Studio?

If you are a videoblogger for example, and you want video stabilization you need to upgrade to the Ultimate version of the software, also if you need 4K support or 360-degree editing tools. It is not cool!

But the software is not so expensive so we cannot expect the best and most complete video editor ever for the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple format, Easy interface."
What do you like best about Pinnacle Studio?

I love the iPad app that goes with this program! In fact, I find myself using the app more than anything! It is so nice to have the availability of video editing on a device that I can also record with! The integration of your iTunes library allows for greater video sounds! Their prebuilt templates are fun and professional looking! The easy manipulation of the timeline allows for great editing control, as well as the ability to slow down or speed up clips! Voice over is easy to use and simple to edit as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinnacle Studio?

I wish they had a chroma key function so that you could do green screen work within the program. I would like to see them come out with a good set of effects for their app to allow you to do a little more in depth video work. There are limitations to this program when comparing it to other video editing suites, that would be good to get worked out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pinacle Studio, useful and easy to use."
What do you like best about Pinnacle Studio?

Pinacle Studio has a nice timeline/story board that allows you to see the different parts of you video and or sound. You can even import one of you Pinacle Studio saved videos into your new video, meaning you can reuse edited content with no fuss. I like that you can use your source files and the changes you make are only saved in you project, the source is not changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pinnacle Studio?

Sometimes the transitions that you can use do not have enough control if you wanted to do fine twerking to make the perfect. Best to have a computer with a bit of power, or you can be sitting waiting for your preview to update, not a software issue, just video work requires a lot of processing.
