 BEWARE before uploading your videos July 5, 2007
B. Babb (Virginia Beach, VA United States)

I have been a studio user since version 9. I have upgraded each time and have continually been searching for one of the programs that will convert my video for use with Flash. Magix I tried (see my review there). When Studio 11 touted it would convert to Flash, I was happy. I promptly ordered.
Initially, I could not even make a video. It would lock up on the rendering process. They recently released an upgrade (if you purchase, ensure you download all the upgrades before trying to use) which finally allowed me to complete a video.
When I went to save my movie as a Flash file, I found, once again, that you have to upload it to a website. Pinnacle offers such a site "free of charge." However, READ THE FINE PRINT before you join.
If you upload videos to their website you are granting them free, unrestricted use of your video without compensation to you. If you don't mind that they may use a family reunion video in something they do, etc, then knock yourself out. However, by law anyone who creates something owns it. If I shoot a video of my pets and then edit it with titles, etc, it is my intellectual property. Nobody is allowed to take my work and claim it as their own or use it for their purposes without my permission. To get that permission, you may need to pay a fee. Pinnacle is offering you a place to post your videos online as compensation I guess. If you sign up for an account, you are granting them use of your property and work with no further contact from you. You don't even get to state if you accept the manner in which they intend to use it.
I opted to decline that even though I am still searching for a way to convert to flash files. Guess I will have to learn how to use flash.
As far as other aspects of editing, it works fantastically. Unfortunately, if you are upgrading from Studio 10 and earlier and have purchased SmartSounds tracks, they won't work in Studio 11. You will lose access to all of those audio enhancements with the upgrade. This was not mentioned in the upgrading either. They do mention an audio track component but DO NOT state that SmartSound no longer is usable.
The three star rating would be higher except they don't state up front that the only way to convert to Flash is by uploading to a website and don't say that SmartSound is no longer used and not compatible. I have purchased over 20 discs from SmartSound and now they are useless and ended up being a waste of money with the upgrade. Scorefitter is the new audio track software integrated with Studio and the selection is pathetically small with no upgrades available.
Also, if you are not familiar with Studio, bear in mind a limited menu and such are available with the program you purchase. Additional menus, etc are available for extra money and can cost several hundred dollars more the get them all if you wish for a variety.

I bought Pinnacle Studio 11 because I needed a way to edit video from my new AVCHD camcorder. I've used Pinncale 10 in the past, but I far prefer Adobe Premiere. (Pinnacle's support for Vista with Studio 10 consists of releasing betas every couple months which time out, requiring you to download the next beta.)
After installing Studio 11, I got error messages about the Adorage plug-in. I called Pinnacle "support" and waited on hold for 52 minutes before a barely-understandable person told me to uninstall and reinstall. I said I just wanted to disable the plugin, but they told me there was no way to do so. I pointed out that their own discussion forum had postings on how to do so -- which I found while waiting on hold -- but they didn't know how and said I might corrupt my installation. I pointed out that this would only require me to uninstall and reinstall, which was what they wanted me to do anyway.
The product works, more or less, but I'm not a fan of the interface. Premiere is much more intuitive. (No, I'm not an Adobe shill.) Also, most of the transitions have a little treasure chest icon meaning you have to pay more for them. I wish I could turn them off and just focus on what I've already paid for.
Bottom line: if you want to edit AVCHD, Pinnacle is pretty much your only option for now. But don't expect support; you won't get any.
 Far better than preceding versions June 14, 2007

I've only had Studio 11 for a few weeks, but my initial take is that it's far, far more stable than versions 9 and 10 were. I've been able to import high-definition AVCHD footage and render it to MP4 and DivX files without a crash. (I know simply failing to crash is a low standard, but the previous version crashed incessantly, especially with HDV content.) Be warned (and don't blame Pinnacle): editing AVCHD requires a very fast computer.
 DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE!!! Terrible software and even worse customer service. June 13, 2007

I've purchased Pinnacle studio software several times in the past, so I recently bought the newest version of Pinnacle Studio to do import movies from my mini-DVD camcorder and then burn them back to a full-size DVD. Nothing too fancy. The software imported as expected, but it froze 1/10 of the way through burning the simple movie to a regular DVD. I did no editing to the movie, and it was only 3 minutes of video. I reinstalled the software twice on two different machines, all to no avail. I invested 4 hours of my time trying to get the buggy software to work on my machine (a new Dell w/XP Pro), and finally decided to just return the software. Because I made the mistake of buying this directly from Pinnacle instead of my normal habit of buying from Amazon, I had to go through Pinnacle customer support to process the return. Several calls (with long hold times, of course) with technical support later, I was promised several times that a more senior technical support technician would contact me to determine whether or not a return was merited, despite the fact that the Level 1 support technicians could not solve the problem. I never received a call. Finally, 2 months after I purchased the software, I got fed up and insisted on speaking to a manager in the customer support division. They gave me a long story about how I had to wait for technical support to get back to me.
At this point, Pinnacle sold me software that did not work as advertised and has essentially made it unreasonably difficult to return the faulty product. I'm terribly disappointed in the horrible product that Pinnacle delivered and the horrific lack of respect they've shown me as a customer. I will not buy Pinnacle software again, and I highly recommend Amazon customers stay away from this software as well.
Won't Even Install; Corrupted my Laptop-Stay Away from Pinnacle June 13, 2007

Pinnacle does not stand by its products or customers and this software is a nightmare. I got a new Dell Windows Vista laptop 3 months ago and loaded Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate. The installation kept crashing, something was wrong and my laptop stopped accepting Windows updates the same day that this happened. I spoke to Pinnacle support (if you want to call it that) for 12 days in a row, was transferred around so many times; representatives promised to call back and they did not-I even had to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau to get them to call me. When they did call me they still could not fix the problem and refused to provide any kind of satisfactory resolution.
Finally I returned the item for a refund but I still had to reformat my laptop to fix the problems caused by the damaged software. And you can imagine the time it took me to reformat...Never again.
