There’s no doubt that Studio 11 is a lot more fluid and responsive to use than previous versions. This module is unchanged since Studio 7 and includes no additional menu templates that we could detect. The choice of musical styles and moods is much greater than the Smartsound installed on versions up to and including Studio 10.Īlso built in to the Studio workflow is the DVD menu system, which includes the ability to set Chapter Marks with static or motion thumbnails. For the top-of-the range bundle, Pinnacle now includes Scorefitter, which works by enabling users to specify a particular range of video that requires music and then telling Scorefitter how to fill it – a wide variety of music genres, style and tempos are available. Studio Plus 11 and Ultimate will import from HDV (tape-based) high-def camcorders, too.
When installed on a faster (preferably dual core) PC, Studio Plus 11 and Ultimate cope reasonably well. AVCHD uses heavy MPEG4 H.264 compression and is notoriously difficult to handle – especially by budget applications. The most notable feature about the new Studio 11 Plus is that it provides support for AVCHD, the high-definition format pioneered by Panasonic and Sony. As part of the Ultimate package is a Chroma Key green screen backdrop for chromakey effects, too. We’re told that support for Blu-ray drives will follow as a free update in the very near future.Īt the top of the line, Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate includes an audio cleaning application, BIAS SoundSoap, ProDAD VitaScene dramatic lighting and ‘film look’ effects, and also a great program called StageTools MovingPicture, which facilitates precision panning and zooming actions within imported still pictures.
Users can burn discs on a standard DVD burner, using standard DVD discs and, depending on the format, can play them on the latest HD DVD players. In the middle is Studio Plus, which has a few more enhanced features, including support for native HDV and AVCHD HD editing and also HD DVD disc burning. It has virtually all of the functionality that a beginner will require, and has simple, no-nonsense workflow through to DVD and beyond.
The entry version enables users to capture footage from DV camcorders, tidy it up and publish the finished videos to Yahoo! Video for online sharing. The new Studio 11 line-up contains three basic products: Studio, Studio Plus and Studio Ultimate.
