For fast editing of a complex multi track movie, I would recommend PS (assuming you are willing to do a little learning). Both have features that the other doesn't have, or does poorly. I do own both products - and I've been involved with Pinnacle a lot longer than VideoStudio.

The problem with that is that there is no trial version of Pinnacle Studio, and the one for X8 is somewhat limited. The current cycle of yearly releases of new versions won't come round again for VS until February/March next year - assuming again that Corel don't accelerate that timetable for a new combined program, and that they let us know in advance. They might do the beta testing with the Pinnacle forum - though it would of course be more logical to set up a team of beta testers from both forums. So if Corel decides to favour Pinnacle over VS, we might just be the last people to know. There is a Pinnacle community, of course, and it is not maintained by our Board, nor do we have any contact with it. But even that is assuming that Corel would necessarily do it as part of our Board. I would say that us Administrators could conceivably get advance warning as it is us who would set up the beta testing forum for the new product. But when or if they decide to blend the two into one remains a mystery to us all. the automatic music feature in the new version X8 of Video Studio - unpopular though that decision might have been with most (all) of us who had become used to SmartSound. There are signs that some elements of Pinnacle are making their way into VS e.g.

Personally, I remain puzzled why Corel has maintained the two products separately for a couple of versions now. But of course we speculate amongst ourselves, though our surmises are nothing more than that: speculation. What we are told, moreover, is rather limited and usually relates to technical aspects of Video Studio (and the other programs covered by this Board). But others might be aware of such a comparison.Īs for why Corel maintains both products, while Admin people such as myself have links to a limited number of Corel execs, none of us ourselves are Corel employees. There are occasional comparisons between VS and other NLEs. Like you, I have never seen any comparative reviews of the two products. So I suspect most answers you get here will be rather biased against Pinnacle. And I suspect people who have used Pinnacle in the past and switched over the Video Studio did so because of the problems they had with Pinnacle - and which they complained about many times on this forum. I personally have never owned any version of Pinnacle. I am afraid only people who have both programs will be able to answer your first question.
