For a few months, I've been trying Pinnacle Studio 10 vs Adobe Premiere elements.

Pinnacle Studio is easier to use with a user-friendly interface but it can be SLOW and a complete memory/cpu hog. It also has a great "old film" movie effect.

Adobe is a little more complicated but it's faster and it's more intuitive when you're editing clips and video. It's alot easier to do music videos in Premiere.

Well, the final nail in the coffin for Pinnacle was this. I was going to work on the Pensacola Washin DVD and guess what? It CRASHED, taking the files from the video out with it. So, no FL washin DVD. That is totally sh*t when it comes to stuff like this. So needless to say, the TX Wash-in DVD will be done in Premiere like it should be.

Pinnacle will be uninstalled promptly when I get back home and work will begin on the TX Washin 2006 DVD.
 
ah, yes - pinnaclesys

Hey Jason,
I used their stuff a lot back in the day - they were the only ones building "ok" software which ran more or less stable under NT4.
Am finishing up the last of about 40 tapes I want to take with me to the 'States...so had to crank up the old Studio. Got the updates for XP...
Well, I am running Dual Core 3.8 Ghz with 1024MB Ram...Raid Striping...know what I am doing and guess what:
My 286 with 2 MB Ram was faster.
Sheesh.
I know this company has some good products and maybe it's just me, but I swear, the millisecond that last tape is transfered I am zapping the Software disks in the microwave, packing them up with my over-priced license and sending them back to Pinnaclesys.
Not that they will give a f***, but if I ever do any serious editing again...it will not be with their stuff.
Question: How did it succeed in corrupting a static file? Not even mine has managed that...yet.
 
Had it been a convention video, I'd have been EXTREMELY upset, more so than I am now over losing the Pensacola washin. I even had the part where Steve went "OHHHMIGOD!" which became a catch phrase for me and Helen.
 
I absolutely hate Pinnacle products. I tried an early version of Studio. It sucked. Slow & crashy. I somehow let myself get sucked into Studio 9. What a POS! Pinnacle can B$@w me. I really like my Sony Screenblast (now called Vegas). I've had no crash problems and it's easy to use. the only thing I liked about the Pinnacle product were the music loops that came with it. Smart sound, I think..
 
Sony Vegas

I downloaded the 30 day demoversion of Vegas and I'm extremely impressed. It's a little different from Pinochle or A-slow-be but it's a very sleek, non-bloated full-featured video editor. In fact I did my last 2 videos with it and I will do the TX2006 dvd with it. I think we have a winner! Once again, YAY for Sony.
