Mr.Gadget Australia: Pinnacle Studio Version 10: Video Editing Software at its easiest!

Hands up if you've been to a family gathering soon after some momentous event and have had to sit through HOURS upon HOURS of extremely boring footage? I mean, isn't it sooo boring having to watch four hours worth of wedding video when there is probably about 30 minutes that is actually interesting? And it really detracts from the occasion of it all when the camera is shaking all over the place, loud extremely inappropriate comments in the background and 5-minute camera shots focused on the cameraman's wife? YAWN. How amateur.

Don't you wish that they used some sort of video editing software and cut out all the crap bits, add a little bit of polish, some background music and make it look much more professional?

Well, thanks to Pinnacle Studio Version 10 Video Editing Software, it is easy as 1-2-3. Well, not quite, but almost.
