Video Editing Software : Pinnacle Studio Plus Version 9

Last year as I was strolling through Harvey Norman's Video Software section, I came across a box of Pinnacle Studio 9 Trial CDs. I quickly scooped one up, because for the last couple of months I've been meaning to organise some of the Video DV tapes I have and hopefully convert them to DVDs. The 30 day trial allowed me to get a feel for this very easy-to-use video editing software!

It took around 1/2 hour or so to download my video recording from my Canon MVX10 to my laptop. I liked the way Pinnacle automatically chopped up the video into segments based on the different video scenes that I recorded. Compiling my first movie with Pinnacle Studio 9 was simply a matter of dragging and dropping scenes, transitions and effects where I wanted them.

For anyone looking to get on top of their home video editing, make sure you check out the beefed up version, Pinnacle Studio Version 9 Plus. It's only a couple of dollars more but has some great additional features.
