Pinnacle Studio 11 for Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great for beginners
Comment: I've been in love with still photography for over 35 years. Only recently have I developed an interest in video and video editing. I recently purchased a Pinnacle DV/AV capture card and Pinnacle Studio 11 editing software. This book is detailed and easy to understand. Would be lost without it. If you're going to use the software, buy this book!

Summary: Pinnacle Studio 11 for Windows: Visual QuckStart Guide
Comment: Very definitely not an elementary level user guide. It is poorly written and must assume that the reader is already well versed in how to use the product. Its only saving grace is that the documentation that comes with the software is even worse. I would NOT recommend this book nor the software to anyone. I feel that I have wasted my money on both the software and this book.

Summary: Pinnacle Studio 11 Manual
Comment: An excellent product. Don't start using Pinnacle Studio until you have at least browsed this book. Much much better than the Pinnacle manual.

Summary: Well Done, Except for One Minor Thing
Comment: While Studio comes with a printed manual (and how unusual is that these days?), this book is a necessary supplement. Its emphasis on the practical, along with inclusion of useful methods and workarounds, makes it the "go to" book when the manual doesn't answer your questions. Previous editions have saved me several times. There's only one thing I wish it had: a short section on what's new in Studio 11. The manual doesn't have such a section either, and what's on the software box is, not surprisingly, promo copy. The lack of a "what's new" chapter doesn't change the fact that this is absolutely required reading if you're going to get the most out of Studio. It would just make the book better yet.

Summary: Visual Quickstart Guide Pinnacle Studio 11
Comment: This 477 page book is an essential purchase for any user of Pinnacle Studio 11. The author, Jan Ozer, answers all Studio 11 questions before you even ask them. The book's screen grabs are very well annotated, and his discussion of program functionality is excellent. It includes all components in Studio 11, Plus, and Ultimate. These programs are simple on the surface, but have many complex and very confusing parts which this book explains clearly. It is the best manual I have every read; it makes using the poorly documented Studio 11 a joy!
