COREL VIDEOSTUDIO PRO X5 CRASHING SOFTWARE
The problem with crashes on a reasonably long project is – well, where was I up to? Which changes had I made to the whole project? Thankfully, Pinnacle’s “recovery” software was quite good, although on some occasions did scramble my entire edited project meaning I had to start again. I’d started making a series of short movies and it was a long and frustrating process. I (foolishly) upgraded to Pinnacle Studio 14 in the hope it would alleviate the regular random crashes. I spent a fun morning trying to get it to work, and I can tell you here and now there’s no easier way to annoy a consumer than with such a basic simple sloppy error. As it was my Christmas gift with which to edit footage of my kids opening their Christmas presents and stuffing turkey into their maws, I was best not impressed.
COREL VIDEOSTUDIO PRO X5 CRASHING SERIAL
Then I upgraded to Pinnacle Studio 9, then a few years later to Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate – which, if you can believe this, arrived with a mis-typed serial code. I started – way back – with Ulead Video Studio 4 – this was back in about 1997/1998, when I and a few mates were making comedy sketches (remember BAD BABY? probably not… and school promo films (we were teachers/ the horror)). My previous software of choice on the PC has always been the Pinnacle range of video editing software, despite the (many) flaws. I’ve used quite a few packages over the years, on both MAC and PC. Now I’m an old hand at editing, having been playing around with similar packages since about 1996 – so did Corel win my heart and my custom? Some of the video footage I got on Ben Vorlich in Scotland, for example, makes one’s jaw drop… and also made me realise how important it is to take a camcorder on rides and climbs.Īs with any other data, once you have your raw footage you need something with which to manipulate this data – enter stage left, Corel’s VideoStudio ProX5 Ultimate. Which means taking lots of photos on bike rides and climbs, and, er, yes – filming myself in these pursuits. I confess, not only am I a bit of an adventure junkie, I’m also a vanity junkie.
