Pinnacle Studio Plus and Pinnacle Studio Ultimate are essentially the same product, but with a quite obvious difference aside from the $30 price chasm. Pinnacle Ultimate arrives with a nice-sized green cloth so you can do green screen chromakey effects just like the professionals. In addition, Ultimate also provides some very high end effects to make your home movie look and sound more professional. If you just want one of the best home video editing and authoring programs around and don't care about the special effects, save the $30 and invest in some recordable DVDs. However, if you are looking to really transform that home video into something astounding and, quite possibly, better than most of what makes it to your local cineplex, then the few bucks to upgrade to Pinnacle Studio Ultimate is more than worth the cost.

Have you ever watched a movie where the audio from the next scene intrudes upon the video from the current scene, or vice versa? This is an effective editing technique that can be exploited for any number of reasons. For instance, it is often utilized to the effect of hearing a question asked of someone in the scene that will actually be answered to the same question asked that same character by another in a different context. Pinnacle Studio allows you to manipulate audio and video in the same way. In addition, this movie editing software also comes with a technique called "scrubbing" that lets you listen to the video as you are searching for a specific editing point. This particular feature is an absolute necessity for professional quality editing of scenes that contain dialogue.

This interests me. I'd like to take my home video editing to the next level and having it be equal, in some cases, to professional movie quality is definitely a strong selling point. Thanks for this.
