It’s been awhile since I’ve done any, but I’m always so overwhelmed with how easy it is to manipulate huge video with today’s computers.

I use Pinnacle Studio because that’s what came with my video card. I’ve even upgraded to version 9.

I’ve read a lot of negative things about Studio (after I had upgraded to 9), with people complaining of crashes all the time, but I was using it for at least 1 1/2 hours straight last night without a problem. My source files were mpeg2, which I now know isn’t the way to go (I should have imported the files in AVI), and they aren’t small. Both files are 3GB, and the current version of the video is 1 hour long. I kept expecting it to crash, or cause problems, and was happy that everything went fine. Next time I won’t be so pessimistic.

Just goes to show that you can’t believe everything you read but also that every computer is different, because I also found people who had experience like mine.
