As part of its family of graphics products, Corel has just released the latest version of its Pinnacle Studio 22 software. Versions of this software are available in Ultimate, Plus and Standard editions.
When I checked out the previous version of Pinnacle Studio, I noted that the installation routine was not the quickest operation when completing this task. The same can be said of this latest version. Running the software’s installer module took 67 minutes to set up the Pinnacle Studio 22 Ultimate on my work system.

Now up to version 12, Pinnacles video editing Studio software is available in three flavours. These are the basic Studio, Studio Plus and Studio Ultimate.
This review is based on Studio Plus 12 which consists of a DVD, 300+ page User Manual and a Getting Started Guide.

As part of the Studio Plus installation you will need to enter a 25-character serial number.

Adding to its range of video capture and archiving devices, Pinnacle has released the Dazzle DVD Recorder (DVC100).

Adopting the same tear shape used by the other Dazzle products, the DVC100 is easily identified by its bright red colour.
Putting your digital video content to good use is the aim of software available from Pinnacle.
Not to be confused with VideoStudio 11 Plus from Corel, Studio Plus version 11 from Pinnacle does perform a similar function as it helps you capture, edit and burn your digital media content. Three versions of Studio Plus 11 are available. These are Standard, Plus and Ultimate. This review is based on the Plus product which certainly does not stint with the amount of material supplied with this product.
