Pinnacle Studio Plus or Ultimate: which version to choose?

Three versions thumbnail differences Studio The question is often asked and we regularly find it on the forums in which we participate. That is why I thought it important to provide some additional explanation to what is already provided on the official Pinnacle website. Don't make a mistake when choosing: you do not have the option to make mistakes. You don't have the option to make mistakes because there is no commercial way to upgrade your version to a higher version. The only option offered at a lower cost to the user is to purchase an upgrade from a previous version: Do the math!

Studio is marketed in three versions :
The Basic version, the Plus version and the Ultimate version.

Let's have a look to the answer in our FAQ #26 for Pinnacle Studio...

Only ULTIMATE brings Bluray Authoring. Seriously, how can Pinnacle exclude it of any version. Every camera today is HD and BD is the media for it as DVD was for SD.

It's a matter of royalties they have to pay or not to Blu-ray Disc Association.
Less and less people are exporting using physical media. Just like for music or video, the future goes to files and not disks.

But file have to be stored somewhere. I know a lot of people just store them on HDD(s).
These files are too big to go in the cloud due to network bandwidth limitation. Optic fiber network will overcome this issue but then cost of storage will be the next roadblock. Free cloud storage is very limited.
I won't discuss backups, archiving, etc. here that would be off topic.
I understand the cost of royalties (which i didn't think of initially) but why not make it an add-on to all versions. Unless royalties cost is so high that PLUS would end up at the price of ULTIMATE. I have to buy ULTIMATE just to burn BD's ! I don't need the other stuff.

Yes, the add-on solution is a good one.

Hello joshi,
Studio does not install fonts on the computer. It uses those present. So you have to install on your computer fonts that suit you.

Dear Joshi,

I tried a copy-paste of your text above, and it works perfectlly in Pinnacle Studio 17. No idea why it would not work on your side... Sorry.
