Pinnacle Systems has launched its Pinnacle Studio line of video editing software which, the company claims, is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of video enthusiasts.
General Manager for Pinnacle Systems, Jeff Hastings said, “There are key trends happening from High Definition becoming truly accessible for video consumers, the proliferation of user generation content on the web and the introduction of new operating systems like Windows Vista. Over the past months, we have focused on bringing the best tools to our Pinnacle Studio application for our users to take full advantage of these latest trends in video creation and consumption. AVCHD editing, HD DVD disc burning, and one-click publishing to the web are among the new capabilities we are introducing with Pinnacle Studio 11, while preserving the intuitive, user-friendly experience for which our Studio software has become famous.”
