The question you need to ask yourself is how much benefit will you get from spending an extra £60 over the basic price? Studio 12 comes in three different versions with the Basic edition costing £40, Plus £70, while our test package was the Ultimate Edition, which comes in at £100. There are also web-based tools that allow you to send your finished projects straight to YouTube, Yahoo or MySpace, as well as to your portable movie player. When it comes to making movies, you can either burn them off to disc, either standard DVD, or increasingly to Blu-ray. Most of these are based around adding audio and video functionality, as well as tools such as Montage, which allows you to blend layers of animation and movie clips into one sequence. The main screen remains the same with three across the top for Capture, Edit and Make Movie, are still in place and you’ll still find the timeline running across the bottom of the screen.Īccording to Pinnacle, there are 25 new enhancements in this latest version. Fortunately, on first use, we found that many of the things we liked about the older edition are still present and the changes, while initially cosmetic, seem logical and well placed.

Studio 12 rather naturally replaces Studio 11, which was a perfectly competent set of editing and authoring tools. (Pocket-lint) - It seems that video-editing suites have locked into the same upgrade cycle as internet security suites, whereby a new version can be expected on an almost annual basis.
