This is the first time we've seen the chroma key feature in a consumer editing tool.
While you may need to dig into the instruction manual the first time you try it, setting up the chroma key is simple and fun. We were also impressed with the new chroma key overlay effect (also known as blue screen), which lets you film a subject against a one-color background, then switch in a background image or video later. We were impressed with the new ripple editing feature, which lets you pair items, such as a video with audio effects, and have them remain in sync even as you add or delete other content. As before, tabs along the top let you select the part of the program you'd like to use, while a timeline with multiple display options slides along the bottom. Even here, Ulead has kept a good mixture of the advanced and the intuitive, so while there are several options for adding advanced effects, navigating around the program is easy. Most of VideoStudio 9.0's new features are in the advanced VideoStudio Editor. You'll also find video clips and image backgrounds. The CD offers extra DVD menu templates-a must since the basic program is light on templates-and video tutorials. You'll be ready to launch the program in minutes, but we recommend that you explore the Bonus CD first. Installation is quick and easy with the Ulead wizard. This is an impressive app and one that we feel confident recommending. While VideoStudio 9.0 lacks the sophisticated audio-mixing tools of Pinnacle Studio 9.0, it's far more stable. Ulead's VideoStudio 9.0 combines the ease of Apple's iMovie with a better feature set. It also satisfies video nuts with high-end features such as chroma key and ripple editing, which make it easy to create polished movies. This version caters to nontechies with a new burning wizard that creates attractive results with little effort. Ulead VideoStudio 9.0 is better at meeting this wide audience than any other program we've seen.
At one extreme are the nontechies who simply want to burn their videos to DVD and aren't concerned with how it gets there at the other are the dedicated hobbyists who demand professional tools and results without the professional price tag.
When your video is ready, you can share it via Facebook, Youtube or Vimeo, burn them to DVDs, AVCHD and Blu-ray discs (a menu creator is included) or even export it to your computer or other devices (Xbox, PS3, Wii, iPad etc.).Īll in all, Pinnacle Studio Plus is a professional tool that allows you to unleash your creativity and mix photos, videos and audio files together in order to create both homemade movies and complex video projects with high output quality.Video-editing tools have to appeal to a wider range of users than most programs.
