Do others feel that this article should focus more on the current version 10 of Studio, now over a year old?--Jeffjn 09:45, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Ideally it should focus on all versions, including the differences. (But written in a more prose style, instead of lists.) Girolamo Savonarola 16:33, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I've made a modest start on Studio 10--Jeffjn 17:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Version 9 stability

I'd like to first point out that I have been using Pinnacle Studio 9, which while easy to use has loads of bugs and malfunctioning features and I am extremely unhappy about Avid selling me this shit. Second, I'd like to enquire if the later versions are better. I have actually been thinking of buying a more professional software such as Xpress or Liquid, but since those are made the same company that provided this crappy piece of assmatter, I am very skeptical about their quality and reluctant to buy more software from a company that has proven to be of poor standard. --194.251.240.114 06:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

This is not the place! But anyway, firstly, make sure you've applied any free updates as all versions of Studio have been awful on release but have generally stabilised with post-releases updates. I have been very pleased with Adobe Premiere Elements v1 - as well as being stable (apart from being completely intolerant of importing MPEG, but you should use DV AVI anyway), its capabilities are way beyond anything else for around this price - 99 tracks of video and audio, unlimited stackable effects on each track each of which have editable, keyframeable parameters. It isn't as easy to use as others though, and I even found it quickest to do a rough edit in Studio 8 first. Check the system requirements of the latest version carefully as it requires fairly modern CPUs (eg not AMD Athlon, which is why I'm stuck at v1!). Halsteadk 08:50, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
