Corel/Ulead VideoStudio 11.5 Plus July 12, 2008

Purchased the product based on some reviews I had read and the Corel name.
I have used other Corel products in the past and really liked them and their product support. This product allows the beginner video editor, a lot of options for the money. I recently purchased a Sony HDR-SR10 which can video in HD (1920x1080i). Video Studio version 11.5 now offers support for that format. I have used the product for five weeks now and have observer the following. YOU MUST have a Duo or Quad core processor running at 2.2GZ or better, with a minimum of 2 GB memory. I had a problem using the product on my HP laptop with a NVIDIA 8400M GS chip. Caused by trying to use the NVIDIA control panel colors. After I went back to using the HP display colors, all was well. I had used non-standard font size for my default font size in Windows Vista Home Premium. That caused the product to only want to run in 16 bit color. After I returned to standard fonts the product worked as it should.
The only negative about the product I have so far is the support. Unfortunately Corel has really gone down hill in the support realm. I called twice and emailed four times and could never get any help from a real tech. The only way I received any info that helped was to used the forum ([...]). BEFORE YOU PURCHASE VIDEO STUDIO IT WOULD BE WORTH YOUR TIME TO REVIEW THE FORUM! Corel support for the last office product I purchased was below standard also. SO while this ULEAD product is a good value for the beginner, and even maybe even the intermediate, if you need good support expect it to be from a place other than Corel.
The reduction to four stars is because of sub standard Tech Support!

If you don't mind drilling into menus, Corel software will usually do everything you need to do. VideoStudio 11.5 is no exception. It's not fancy. It just works. Yeah, it crashes sometimes, but no more often than most software. I spent a lot of time reading about different consumer video editing software. Glad I bought this one.
I bought an 8GB SDHC card recently. Went to a couple of stores. Tested various camcorders, including Canon Vixia HF100. VS-11.5 imported and edited the HD video, no problem. I wish it were faster, but I also wish gasoline was 59-cents per gallon.
Great Product, easy to use. July 10, 2008

I have tried several different video programs although, I do not find this to be the best I find this to be the easiest. Making a DVD video and an MPEG file could not be easier. It's 16x9 feature and HDDVD/BluRay make it that much more attractive for an easy of use software.
Great inexpensive video editor! July 8, 2008

I bought this on sale for $59.99 and free shipping from Amazon. It far exceeds my expectation. I love the 7 layers of video. The infinite control for zoom and panning is so easy to use that using the fixed options take longer to decide than just doing it custom and getting exactly what I want. The built-in menu selection is easy to use once you figure out how to select the features you want. I am running it on a 2ghz Pentium IV with 1gb of Ram and it takes about 27 minutes to build a 10 minute video with menu. It took longer using Windows Movie Maker and I don't have the glitches in effects anymore. I understand from other reviews that you may need a faster computer to use the HD feature. I just use 4:6 NTSC and highly recommend this product for that.
How did I live without this program? July 6, 2008

When I first received this program I was a little bit intimidated to use it. I had used free slideshow software in the past to create product slideshows for clients, and was happy enough with the results. Had this product been available back then, I would have been thrilled.
When I first installed this software, I was not entirely confident in using it, but since my teenage son often makes youtube videos of his garage band to share with the world, I put him to task learning this software.
By the next morning he quickly and easily tutored me in how to create slideshows, use the templates, add in my own music tracks, add text, and burn CD's. Yes, all of that in about 10 minutes.
Once I started using this software I found it to be a breeze to learn and easy to use. The wizard function walked me through easy tasks giving me the confidence to try out some of the more advanced features. I was able to take about two dozen short video clips of my daughter doing her happy dance at Disney and turn them into a fun video complete with her favorite music.
When creating slideshows, the templates will pan and zoom your photos making them look like short videos, and it's easy to edit the amount of pictures to fit a song length perfectly.
What I like most about this software is it is so flexible and supportive that it has room for me to grow. It supports many camera phones, it burns high def and blue ray discs as well as standard dvds, it uploads directly to youtube.
My son also wants to try out the Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound features, and even though I can't comment on how well that feature works, I like the fact that this very affordable program includes features like this to grow with us.
My next project is I'm going to chronologically organize my families Christmas pictures and set them to holiday songs. I felt the template themes were a bit light. The only obvious themes were school play, wedding, baby, and vacation. It would have been nice to see holiday themes such as Fourth of July, Christmas, Graduation, and Thanksgiving, for example.
I also plan on filming many of my children's school plays and concerts and producing free/cheap DVD's for the school rather than hiring that service out as we have in the past. From what I can tell, my videos already look better than what the other company has produced for us at a great cost.
