ABSOLUTELY USELESS!, March 13, 2006
Reviewer: K. Hammond "software engineer"
I purchased Pinnacle 10 Plus from MicroCenter several weeks ago.
The software has never worked at all for me. None of the
features I have tried to use work. Usually the program hangs or
displays a non-descriptive error message. Now, after a hard
drive replacement, I am completely unable to install the product
after a week of trying. I give up! I'm going to try to get a
refund.
What an astounding waste of time and money! I wish I had read
the other reviews first!
DO NOT BUY STUDIO 10, March 12, 2006
Reviewer: Robert Galanter "RG_Engraver"
Do not believe any of the postiive reviews of theis product.
They are most likely an attempt by employee's of Pinnacle to
pursuade you that this product is good. IT IS A BAD PRODUCT.
Highly unstable and unusable even in the new 10.5 release. Sorry
I wasted my money on the lousy software.
The product has great features but is full of bugs which make it
highly unreliable. I have only used a limited number of
features, and even those basic features that I have used are not
stable. Sometimes the features work as they should, other times
they create unpredictable glitches. This program is a good
concept but is poorly executed. On top of that you need a very
high end computer. Don't think of using this on anything but a
new XP system with at least 1GB memory a 3GHZ processor and full
direct X compatability on your video and audio cards. And even
if your computer meets these requirements, the program is junk
and is very unreliable. BUY SOMETHING ELSE!!! And another
thing... Pinnacle will not give you a refund if you are unhappy.
BUYER BEWHERE
ARGH!, March 10, 2006
Reviewer: David Wakeford (London, UK)
I buy software regularly and rely on reading other people's
reviews, but to date have not written one myself. I'll keep it
short and sweet. The idea of studio 10, on paper, is great. But
for a reason we will never know, they clearly didnt finish it.
The result is constant, and I do mean constant, crashing. As it
takes so so long to crash, and so so long to restart it, you
wont be going anywhere fast. My opinion is not to buy this
software. Oh I forgot to mention, after taking 4 weeks to finish
a 2 week project, I discovered another massive error - for love
nor money, let alone trying every fix under the sun, it wouldnt
recognise my dvd writer. If someone from pinnacle is reading,
please withdraw studio 10 from the market and the countless
bugs. It could be excellent, but at the moment it is truely
aweful, and I doubt I'll buy from you again any time soon.
BOY I WISH I READ THESE REVIEWS. THE HORROR. THE HORROR
March 4, 2006
Reviewer: Ed Kaz "Ed Kaz" (Shell Pile, NJ USA)
A terrible experience. Crash crash and more crashes.
I brought it back the next day.
I plan to forget the whole experience.
What a waste!
BUGGY, BUGGY, BUGGY, March 1, 2006
Reviewer: Megan
The last few versions of Pinnacle have been disturbingly buggy.
Perhaps you'll get lucky and won't have any problems, but save
often! Pinnacle also requires you to pay extra for the extra
media included with the product. If you want to use disc menus,
etc, you have to go to the website and give them your credit
card details. Ulead and Adobe give you loads more free content.
REAL JUNK!, February 27, 2006
Reviewer: G. Rambaldi "iapad" (Europe)
I have installed version 10 Plus upgrade and since than I have
never been able to use the software. It simply crashes upon
loading. Real junk! I wish I had paid attention to the negative
reviews done my most Pinnacle Studio Customers and avoided
wasting my money.
IF ONLY IT WOULD ALLOW ME TO GIVE A 0 RATING,
February 25, 2006
Reviewer: J. Worley (Missouri, USA)
I bought this app back before christmas 05 because I really
enjoyed using Ver 9. All I really need to say is, this is the
All time worst video editing app I have ever used. It has
recently been brought to my attention that if you use an Athlon
processor with an Nvidia chipset your are pretty much F*%#'ed as
far as Pinnacle is concerned. Pinnacle refuses to answer my
support emails for the last 5 months even though I take the time
each and every time (and it does crash nearly every time I
import the smallest file) it crashes my desktop.
They recently released patch ver 10.5 and it says they have
fixed the memory leak but its still using well over 500mb of ram
according to taskman and over 60% of my Athlon 2300 processors
resources just to crash. Setting the priority of the app does
nothing and as far as I can tell Ver. 10.5 did nothing more than
take up another 100mb of disk space. THIS APPLICATION IS
WORTHLESS!!!! CHeck out the complaints on their consumer message
boards.

CAVEAT EMPTOR -- STUDIO 10.5 KEEPS ON CRASHING AND KEEPS ON
CRASHING
February 23, 2006
Reviewer: Y. Kalina "fromnyc" (NYC, NY)
While the ideas behind Studio 10.5 are great, the program
execution leaves a lot to be desired. The program crashes for no
apparent reason -- whether during movie review, editing or just
a repositioning of the cursor. While, commendably, the program
more-often-than-not remembers the last set up and position, you
maybe repeatedly stuck at that particular point if the stars are
not properly aligned.
Also beware that each time the program crashes, Pinnacle wants
you to file report; after the third time of the day dealing with
them, the reporting screens become just one more point of
frustration -- especially since Pinnacle does not seem to
acknowledge or deal with the problems. If you have Studio 9,
with its own annoying idiosyncrasies, you will avoid more
aggravation by not upgrading to this much less than perfect
product.
WE DEMAND A RECALL AND A REFUND,
February 23, 2006
Reviewer: E. Mader "PinnacleVictim" (New Orleans, LA)
Never have I encountered a mega-software that is fraught with so
much problem leading to a gazillion complaints. My wife and I
bought Pinnacle Studio everytime a new version was released,
thinking the problem of frequent crashes and instability will be
solved. Now we have 4 versions (7, 8, 9, 10) of the product. All
are unstable and a pain to use. The latest release (version 10)
is by far the worst. Why such a "reputable" company keeps on
selling new versions instead of coming out with remedies or
patches to an existing product is a big question. When will they
stop ripping us off. PS: We selected this product based on PC
Magazine reviews.
PINNACLE STUDIO 10.0 WASTE OF MONEY,
February 20, 2006
Reviewer: A. J. Young
After hours and hours of trial and error I nuked the CD's in the
microwave then reformated my harddrive and bought vegas video 6
plat. The doctor says I will be fine and I no longer need
prozac. Bottom line is do the same and move on. Pinnacle should
be sued. This software is useless.
