What’s left to say? Apart maybe that Studio 7 is a state of the art video editing program that’ll marvellously fit amateur and experienced users’ needs. In fact even Adobe Premiere aficionados have a chance to fall in love with the program for a bunch of reasons, like its unrivalled and unprecedented ease of use, its nice user interface, its editing features, the amazing number of special effects bundled with the software (including highly realistic 3D transitions) and much, much more. Many of the software’s drawbacks have been addressed in this release making it the most valuable, reliable, versatile, powerful video mounting program actually out on the market out coming every competing solution. With such software every user, even video new byes, will reach the coveted producer status by creating superb, breathless and brilliant videos in just a few mouse clicks. The only flat I’d add concerns the price: at $99.99 the software is $20 more expensive than the Pinnacle Studio DV kit that includes a FireWire capturing board along with Studio 1.1. However Studio 7’s price seems to be fair in regards of the numerous and exclusive features it offers along with the support of every video capturing device. In conclusion, Studio 7 combined to a FireWire capture board simply rocks!

Pinnacle users can purchase an upgrade version at a preferential price.
