Pinnacle Studio 9.0

Pros: easy to use

Cons: Audio drops out

Summary: This software came with our DVD burner, so we didn't do any research on it...just figured we'd try it. Well, it seemed to work great though the menus took some time to figure out. However, for no apparent reason, I have a 10 minute segment (at the end of the 50 or so minutes of video that I'm trying to edit) where the audio just drops out. No sound from the actual recording, and I can't put any background music in it's place. I was able to get sound effects and background music in the rest of the video. Frustrating and looking for a better program! I certainly wouldn't have bought it after doing research on the pinnacle studio 9 users forum either. This is a problem many other have had with the software.
