Solution Chosen by kallan After this installation Something went wrong on my Avid Pinnacle Studio Befor the power Dvd installed on my system there was no problem which means power dvd is doing some damage or correpting the other software.

I want to unistall the power dvd from the system and I did it. It went away from the control pannel and is no more listed.

However, after about months, I found that Pinnacle is far to unreliable, and that it kept crashing every hour or so. But overall, my experience was excellent with Pinnacle except V That being said, I recently bought Sony Vegas, and while not as intuitive as Pinnacle, I am getting used to it and really like it.

No long render times, more video and audio tracks, nice effects, etc. Pinnacle was relatively easy to use but I also have used it for years. The more I work with Sony Vegas, the more I like it. I agree with intelligentangle. You have to really overkill with your system requirements to get it to run smoothly. Definately double, and if you can triple all of their recommended requirements. Again, you need to arm your system with a bunch of expensive upgrades to run the plug-ins that come with it, but the end result is great.

Vegas seems like a solid program. I purchased and installed Pinnacle Studio 11 in January and I was not able to get it to function properly at all.

My system had significantly more than the minimum requirements, yet theprogram stuttered and froze when trying to do the most basic of operations. I reinstalled, but this did not help at all. The video I did manage to render converted from VHS was nothing more thanjumbled images and jagged sounds. I decided to completely uninstall the program from my PC, but I could not even do this as bits and pieces remained, which caused errors and slowed my system.

When I tried to remove them manually, my system shut down. The only solution, rebuilding of my PC! To make a sad story even worse, we use video editing software at work and, despite my advice to not do so, the purchasing team bought Pinnacle Studio 12 for my use. I must say that it does work better than 11, but it still fails to deliver as promised.

Clearly, I recommend avoiding Pinnacle. I have been using Pinnacle since version 9 and the amount of times I wanted to throw my PC through the window were too many to count.

Of course then I tried version 10 and then 11 and then 12 and then 12 Ultimate — never learn hey? The problem is that when one is used to an editing system it is very hard to change. I bought Vegas and the change was radical. I have subsequently upgraded my PC and have not had a days problem with Version12 Ult. The effects in Pinnacle are amazing.

To play safe though I split all my projects into min sections and then combine them all at the end. I have heard it said that Pinnacle is for amateurs and dummies, well I am very satisfied with my end results so I am quite content being an amateur dummy. Having said that it would be really nice if Pinnacle would incorporate multi-cam editing as I use cameras at a time. I have said it before, I have not had any major issues with Pinnacle except V I am slowly making the transition to Sony Vegas, and like what I am seeing, … once I get used to how differently it works.

I have edited everything from sports videos, weddings, tv commercials, etc on Pinnacle and outside of the longer rendering times, have had very good luck with it. I have Studio 12 Ultimate right now, and really like it.

I am only keeping it for the job i have with him but I am really really looking to buy another software. Vegas seems like the most reasonably priced next step, Adobe is a LOT more expensive…is it worth it? As a result I reasoned that the Studio version would be Pinnacle with training wheels, being more intuitive perhaps.

I look forward to experiencing some of the complaints posters to this thread have voiced!! Pinnacle Studio 12 may work for some of you, but the software install purely sucks canal water.

I tried an entire day just to get it to install, and the tech support was an absolute joke to put it mildly. I could use stronger words The first tech told me to go into msconfig and disable all my services and try to install… REALLY… on a program that uses an msi installer… try to get that to work with the windows installer service disabled..

THEN he wanted me to try to install it in safe mode.. BDOH, same problem.. And for you people thinking of upgrading to v12, do yourself a favor and read through the forums really well and discover just how may other people have had all sorts of issues with it.

I has an organized, intuitive workspace and a well written used guide. Studio 12 gave me the Sh! There might be some nice things Pinnacle has to offer if it works now. I had all kinds of trouble back in the day with earlier versions. I use version 12 still today, however, with nary a problem. I think back years ago my computer was underpowered and that might have accounted for some of the problems.

Plus I had no clue what I was doing, what a codec was, etc. Studio 12 Ultimate, which I use today, is quitea package for the price. I have graduated up to Adobe Premiere Pro now, and I try to use that almost exclusively, but there are times when I pull out Studio 12 just to do a quick job here and there. The machine hated me for it and let me know it repeatedly. In the end, however,the final product of the video turned out okay.

I did some research into Pinnacle and found on testing that my Preview screen would always goto Black. Sign in Join. Sign in. Forgot your password? Create an account.
