Are there competitors to Pinnacle Studio ?
In 2014, are there alternatives to Pinnacle Studio for nonlinear video editing ? Yes, of course.
But does it worth it ? Has the competitor less bugs ? Is it better elsewhere ? Do you have all features that we know on Pinnacle Studio ? Should we learn everything again, in a new environment, is it difficult to jump to the competitor ? Are we coming back to Pinnacle Studio after been with the competitor ? If yes, why, if not, why not ? Effects / titles are they as good as Studio ? Are there plugins ? What about proDAD, RedGiant, SmartSound and Scorefitter ? Are forums user friendly, can we find help ? Is support/helpdesk free ? Is it of good level ? Are there any websites similar to ours, which provides tips, tricks and tutorials ? Does it make sense to use Pinnacle Studio for some features and competitor for other features ...
Here's a whole bunch of questions that we are entitled to ask in 2014, when we begin to have some problems with our favorite software. I do not have all answers to these questions, or even if it's interesting to go further. This article was written as a result of various conversations / comments I've read here in our comments section, and I thought it was time to group all those kind of discussion into one article, so that everyone can join and participate, to discuss on the topic, but being correct and constructive (we will not hesitate to moderate comments that we deem inappropriate). The idea is to have a healthy competition. In the past, we wrote a similar article: A competitor for Pinnacle Studio 15 ?
So if you have ideas , if you have experiences to share, comments below are right for you. The idea is not to criticize any of the software or the other, but to know which one is doing better and what are the interesting features. Following these discussions, we'll see if we make a compilation and if it's interesting to go further...
Let's join the comment section below...
