"Overpriced junk"

February 4, 2009  |   By spartain

Version: Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus

Pros

Fair amount of tools but nothing special

Cons

Clumsy, un-intuitive. Poorly featured.

Summary

Considering this is supposed to be one of the best, at the price it sells for I'd call this a complete rip-off. It's more polished than Windows Movie Maker and a few extra tools, but that's about it. So it has SiurroundSound 5.1, but so what? Everything else brings it down. If this is supposed to be one of the best then the rest must be pretty poor, because this is appalling. Transitions are amateurish, and editing is clumsy; poorly written Help file, and some of the filters are just poor and unuseable.

I don't know who is responsible for the poor quality, whether rubbish programmers or the inept testers and managers, but I wouldn't even pay $20 for this, let alone over $100.
Windows Moviemaker is better value because it's free and it's not much inferior to this over-priced junk. WA total aste of money.

"Destroys your IE"

August 30, 2008  |   By Wanting2FindOut

Version: Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus

Pros

I managed 2 edit a video using the trial version.

Cons

After 30 Days, disaster struck. Upon uninstalling the UVS 11Plus, my anti virus scan McAfee was disabled and the IE (Windows Internet Explorer) cant work. Upon login to iBanking, I was shut off from this url.

Summary

I get all kinds of error msg. eg Error 1706. No valide source could be found for product Video Studio. The windows installer cannot continue. Do not use this product though you may have a high end pc.

"Too buggy to be worth while"

August 29, 2008  |   By Mike_Ives

Version: Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus

Pros

Great features and nicely presented.
Easy to use.

Cons

You really need a good spec machine to use it properly
Having said that I have a high end system and although it didn't crash at first and worked - on the 5 day it stopped working completely and has never worked again despite reloads.

Summary

As much as i like the product feature wise and ease of use - it's more hassle than it is worth. Buy something else as registry conflicts can be hard track down and fix.

"It Sucks and destroies your computer and takes over!!"

August 22, 2008  |   By phcrooks

Version: Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus

Pros

Nothing.

Cons

It takes over the computer and destroies your files if you only partially install this software. Never had to redue a computer before because of a software problem like this gave me.

"Best Consumer Level Editor"

July 22, 2008  |   By mistertee

Version: Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus

Pros

Having owned and used various versions of Roxio VideoWave, Pinnacle Studio and Adobe Premier Elements, there's no doubt in my mind that Ulead/Corel's VideoStudio "11.5 Plus" should be considered the gold standard of advanced consumer video editors. It's easily the most intuitive interface of it's kind yet the native content and feature set exceeds most similar programs. The FREE upgrade to Version 11.5 (which among other things allows users to create AVCHD [Blu-ray compatible] and HD-DVD on standard DVD-R media) was a generous gesture indeed! Corel also hosts a very active, friendly and informative web forum that both new and seasoned users will appreciate. Like all complex applications VideoStudio has it's flaws but in my experience it's been a very smooth ride since my introduction to the software at Version 9.

Cons

In general, video production software can be finicky due to it's complexity versus various system configs, possible software conflicts, registry issues, etc.

Therefore, as much as I like VideoStudio I urge potential buyers to experiment with trial versions from Corel and other developers before making a final decision. Video software that doesn't (for the most part) run well can be VERY frustrating and difficult to fix.

"Too slow and not very intuitive."

July 6, 2008  |  

Version: Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus

Pros

Lots of features.

Cons

Not very intuitive. It took forever to find pan and zoom features. Works great on XP, but runs painfully slow on Vista machines...

"Absolutely the best video editor, period"

June 16, 2008  |   By sellyourmom

Version: Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus

Pros

I have used several video editors and because they were so bad I kept looking until I found Ulead VideoStudio. It had everything I needed and more, but without the excessive clutter that makes some other video editors difficult to use. It supports all the latest formats (e.g. DivX 6.8) and has a lot of useful features. Very intuitive and easy to use. Can process huge video files without crashing.

Cons

It may crash sometimes, but this happens rarely and much less frequently compared to other video editors that I have used.
