We are impressed with what it can do for us and our clients. It learning curve for beginners is much more acceptable then other tools we tested. Pros VideoStudio is very affordable and is also powerful enough to handle most people's needs. We have used it for over 20 years. It is also a feature-rich editing tool for everyday use. The Ultimate version comes with many plug-ins like titler, special effects, video stabilization, etc. Cons One of the big improvements we look for in every new version is "more speed enhancements from utilizing the GPU - Graphics Processing Unit", to speed up the final video production.

There is a lot you can do at 1st and that why this software was great Pros Economic model of a buy once software. This was crucial for me and this soft does it well. Also more important it allows the user to create great videos in an easy/moderate manner. you have many effect, and some template which helps the workflow Cons There are few external templates, font etc... that are free except the ones from Corel, which makes it hard to have other things implemented. This software is also good for beginners/intermediates, but if you want to go further, you need to go elsewhere Review Source LT Leonardo T. Content Creator Industrial Automation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "VideoStudio easy to use, but low quality" December 12, 2022 3.0 I was quite frustrating working with VideoStudio, the quality of the color after rendering are off-set. It is a little bit intuitive to use it, but the media library and effect are too poor. Pros What I really like from VideoStudio is the Autoducking function. It is quite easy to put background music and you can automatically set the autoducking ratio. Cons I don't like the video color that you get after rendering the video, the final video color has an off-set compared with the true color set in Hex. If you are editing a branding video, stay away from VideoStudio, the final color are darker than that one you expect. It seems that the VideoStudio has numerous functionalities, FXs, but at the end, you never use all of them, they are old style. Masking, Motion Tracking are no good.. Imagine, just to draw a line on the video it is impossible.

October 12, 2019 5.0 In general. I still like this VideoStudio software. The visual interface is very user-friendly in operation. During the editing process, the cache file occupies relatively little hardware. Therefore, the requirements for the computer are not too harsh, so it is not necessary to use a highly configured computer. Pros The interface is friendly and easy to operate. Especially for novices, as long as you are using your native language, you can perform basic video editing operations according to the operator panel prompts or menu options. For relatively in-depth operations, you can do this by reading the user manual. There are master materials available. Cons Software installations are more or less problematic. Last time I used the 2018 version, I contacted the customer service 4 times to solve the problem. Reason for choosing VideoStudio I started using Video Studio 7, I am used to it and like it. I have tried pinnacle Studio, adobe premiere. But, in the end, I still like to use Video Studio. Review Source KM Krista M.

I have updated it a few times with every new version improving a bit on the last. It is easy to use and has all the features I need for editing professional videos. Cons I have had importing issues before, but I'm not sure if that was an issue with VideoStudio or with something within those particular files. Sometimes it will get slow or close if there is too much media or too many processes being performed. The only small thing that bugs me also is that the slider bar on the bottom is not in contrast to the areas around it, which makes it difficult to find where to click the bar to scrub through the project.

When I needed something to feel and look more professional I switched to Davinci Resolve. Pros This video editor is a really good suite for beginners. I used it when I started to make videos of my performances and videos for YouTube. I found that it had everything I needed to make my videos for YouTube. It had titles, transitions and some color grading that was very basic but very good to start learning the basics of video editing. Now I use Davinci Resolve to edit my videos but thanks to VideoStudio I was able to make that jump to a more professional video editor. Cons One of the things that I did not like was that sometimes the videos would come out sounding not the greatest and the videos I was making needed great audio because I was playing piano in them and needed that to sound really good. It is a basic nut useful editor but the things that it has sometimes makes the production look a little cheap and basic and not like at least a little professional looking. Reason for choosing VideoStudio When I bought this product I chose it because it was on sale on a website, which I don't remember which one it was, for cheap and decided to pull the trigger and see if it would work and it did for some time.

One of the best software for to start beginner. Every software has rooms to be improve. I am very happy with VideoStudio Pros I am very happy to use VideoStudio because it was very easy to learn and use apart from this, some points are mentioned below for using: - Easy and Simple to start - Clean and Clear GUI (well organized) - Rich in features/function - Flexible and cool performance Cons I have realized some features which would have been better if mentioned below points are updated: - Still some effect and transitions are missing - Crash if large file is processing - Does not support all types of file - If try to open existing file, it take time to open Review Source Betre M.

Though it did the job, no extra unique features that made the videos look special was there. The overall presentation is still very basic. Pros Video studio comes with all the basic tools to edit your video. Two video splicing, frame by frame edit, audio track addition and Text on Screen display. It has a title block editing tool and preset templates that makes your work easier. It accepts alot of formats, both video and audio. Cons The truth is that Video Studio has no outstanding features. It comes with outdated templates, nothing special that won't come on any App on Android or online video editing platform for free. The program does crash often with no help from customer service. Review Source Manuel F. Graphic Artist and Video Maker Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "video Studio easy to learn." July 25, 2019 5.0 very easy to learn and I recommend it to a lot of friends Pros videostudio is very easy to learn there are a lot of tutorials online about it and it has its own Learning Center too. Cons not as many free uploads and freebies as it used to have Reason for choosing VideoStudio I got the free software and pay for the full version Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good intro to video editing" February 15, 2021 4.0 I have used VS for many years now to edit videos for home, Boy Scouts, and even some for work. I find it to be an extremely powerful entry-level tool capable of executing any visual that I have come up with for my purposes. Pros A lot of features are simple to use that were not even available to the home user just a few years ago. Key framing for layering multiple shots, motion, text overlays, as well as a modest selection of pre-designed functionality such as titles, music, and transition effects. Cons It is a little cumbersome (and in some cases impossible) to create more advanced effects, etc. But for the average user this is not an issue. Also, early on I had issues with it crashing on occasion, but this seems to have been resolved via updates. Reason for choosing VideoStudio Much better price, and still has the features I would need.

Molto utile Pros La compattezza e il facile utilizzo nelle varie sezioni Cons Forse manca di un po' di sviluppo nella parte dell'editing audio non quando la traccia è già sulla scena, ma prima: avrei piacere ci fosse nel software una parte di editing previa che mi facesse modificare la traccia da inserire in una fase precedente all'assemblaggio dei contenuti multimediali.

Pros The product is easy to use and it is easy to capture and edit content. Cons I find recording audio directly is not as good as using a separate program to record an audio file and then inserting it in the timeline. Review Source AB Andrew B. Clinical Standards Administrator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A reasonably inexpensive solution for video editing, albeit with multiple long-term glitches" August 2, 2021 3.0 I've used VideoStudio since around 2004. It's always been a pain, but it's always been affordable, so I've persisted. The multitude of minor irritations requiring workarounds, within all sections (capture, edit, titling, render, etc) mean I will never love this software - because it's clear they will never give it the full overhaul it clearly needs. Pros On a good day, with a safe combination of files and if not employing many effects or complex edits, it can be easy to edit simple clips. Cons This software has multiple issues that persist after so many years. It's inelegantly programmed, with new features bolted on, so things slow down rapidly with any complexity of edit or effect. There are still too many actions that cause unexpected lock-ups. Review Source SR Sayooj R. Engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Most likely app to work with,user friendly settings are provided by the developers." September 30, 2022 4.0 Superb to use,easy to understand the features. Pros Video editing and effects are excellent,easy to understand and apply accordingly. Cons Add some more effects and slides mainly the slides or templates basically. Review Source MJ Michael J.

Customer service didn't want to help. Product was faulty and never worked as advertised in several area. Pros Easy to Use, Functional, On Paper Looks Great Cons Straight off the bat of buying the Ultimate Edition I had issues with strange glitches, major drops in quality, blurry rendering. This wouldn't usually be a problem with a great customer service team to assist if it was something I was doing wrong, however, when I asked them how to fix these things, they seemed to have no clue about their own product. Asking several questions that had already been answered to draw out the time to get back to me - I ended up waiting a week with no answer on simple questions. I followed all instructions step by step and nothing seemed to work, which were all copy and paste answers such as "delete temp folders" ect. When it came to the realization the product was faulty the customer service stopped altogether. I had to ask for a refund and am still pending this coming back. If the product worked as advertised it would be great I think, however, dodginess with the product and a highly inefficient customer service team means you should steer well clear of the product.

Cons I couldn't find anything of note that displeased me. Review Source AT Ashley T. Tech Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Value for Money Video Editer" November 27, 2019 5.0 I have used to to make promotional videos, case studies and training videos for the various products that we own and support. We do not find a need to outsource this activity anymore. Apart from this, any changes you need can be immediately accommodated. Apart from this, personal recreational use is very high and my family and friends are all happy with my creations. Pros Easy to install, Easy to use For people who at least used Windows Movie Maker, this software is very easy to start using. Cons It takes some seconds to load the application, and while thats happening, the Corel Logo stays on screen and does not let you do anything else on your computer. I am not sure this is applicable to all versions Reason for choosing VideoStudio I chose Video Studio because it serves my purpose well within my budget. Other applications were so many times costlier than Video Studio, like Adobe. Even the ones with comparable prices, were not as good as this one while I was on trial.

Review Source Dewey B. Video Editor Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for Beginners" August 29, 2019 4.0 Corel is off to a great start with VideoStudio, and we really hope they decide to add more video tracks in the future! Pros VideoStudio is great for emerging content creators that want an easy to use video editor, and even features advanced features like chroma key and VR video editing. There's also a feature (FastFlick) that automatically creates a video for you with the clips provided, although any professional video editor would stay FAR away from that feature! Cons VideoStudio only has ONE video track, which makes it almost useless for more advanced projects that requires multiple layers of video or graphics. Although they do provide an "overlay" track, this alone makes it pale in comparison to a more robust NLE like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro. Review Source CM Craig M.

Easy to use once you get used to it. Remember every program has a learning curve this one is fast. Cons The only issue I have is if I don't use it continually you might forget little tricks as I do. So I started a small note pad with short cuts. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) Never could get this program to work correctly and a very difficult a learning curve Review Source SN Safiya N. Performing artist Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Professional " November 11, 2022 5.0 VideoStudio would be 100% perfect if it were more user friendly. Not to say it isn't user friendly, just that it could be more so. Pros VideoStudio is absolutely great. It's fast and really powerful. I love the effects. Face effects were newly released. Clips organized by face indexing. Transitions are flawless and professional. Cons I want it to be user friendly for people like me who need professional video editing even though they might not use it daily.

One feature that I really like is the automatic subtitle generator. It actually does a nice job. Cons While Corel Video Studio comes with a screen recorder, it also comes with an upgrade option. In my opinion, this feature should be a standard in software of this kind, without the need to "upgrade". I also find the screen recorder to be a bit lucky. However, it definitely gets the job done.

Pros I've had almost no experience in video editing software but thought I would try this out for fun. What I liked most was the video tutorial which got me up and running in about 30-40 mins. The features here are awesome and I can see this being used by professionals and amateurs alike. Cons Since I am quite new to this I didn't have much video/music content to play with. I feel like the sample content libraries within the suite could be developed further both music and video.
