I first purchased Pinnacle version 8 several years ago and have been suckered into multiple upgrades all the way to current release as a means of addressing extremely buggy software. I own top of the line Dell systems and have gone through mind-numbing

I have been using Studio since Studo 8 was released, about 6 years or so ago. Pinnacle support is very difficult and frustrating to deal with. Persistance will eventually get you what you need unless you are asking for support on a previous version

I bought the pinnacle 12 plus movie box. It worked great at first. Then it crashed. It wouldn't burn the DVD. It wouldn't even open any more. The support team had no clue what was wrong with it and wouldn't answer my questions. It was a

Ever since I have had Studio 11 Plus - trying to stitch or edit movies has been a nightmare! The program freezes my PC or files disappear - error messages are always present and basically the entire Studio 11 Plus program is a pile of crap!

I have been struggling with Pinnacle's Studio 11 plus for the past year and it has resulted in hours of frustration as things do not work as they are supposed to. I am using Windows Vista and the program crashes or freezes about 50% of the time. I
