There’s a new generation of DIY video editors starting to appear with the advent of HD formats, and Pinnacle Studio has ushered version 12 to market to capitalise on the movement. It’s also covering all bases by offering both extremes of video encoding support, from the low end of Flash (which includes direct-to-YouTube support) right up to Blu-ray.

There’s a massive raft of new features and free templates and plug-ins, but some of the major ones fall down by appearing in their natural state (ie not as a native part of the Pinnacle software) so you have a new learning curve for every one. If you’re taking the step up to editing video for HD however, it’s a good choice. Rating: 3
