"Avoid: "Twentieth Century" Customer Support"
Version: Ulead VideoStudio X6
Pros
An inexpensive and comprehensive video/audio edit system
Cons
I began with Video Studio Pro X3
Jerky, cumbersome interface - difficult to set precise edit points
Warning Video Studio Pro converts video to a .vsp extension. When my video studio pro software went corrupt I was unable to access the converted video.
Do not fail to back up your video before using.
Despite the fact Corel's offering an uninstall tool, VSP failed to uninstall properly. Over the next year I made over a dozen failed attempts to reinstall.
At last I reached an on line service rep. I explained I wanted to reinstall pro X3 and upgrade. He crisply informed me Pro X3 was out of support and that he must end our conversation.
After reformatting my C drive I was able to reinstall Pro X3, still planning to upgrade to Pro X 6. However, my activation code had been invalidated and Corel had blocked me from all avenues of contract and left holding the bag.Summary
I am a television producer/reporter experienced with operating high end, but not top of the line edit software. I bought VSP for hobby/experimental work because of it diverse features and low cost.
I thought the Video Studio interface was OK and had no serious problems with the software, apart from its going corrupt.
Clearly while other companies like Microsoft learned in the late 90's and early 00's that they would have to shrug off the kind of swaggering arrogance that treats customers like serfs, Corel is still stuck in the Dark Ages and has not re-learned the art of customer support.
So, while the product was "acceptable" in terms of functionality given the hassles created by its proprietary file extensions and shaky customer support, I'm going to go and find the free editor I installed when Video Studio Pro crashed in the first place. In the meantime I have the 30 day trial version installed and will be converting my .vsp video files back to .wmv -
"Perfect for homevideos"
Version: Ulead VideoStudio X6
Pros
- Easy to learn user interface
- Support for many new formats (including 60/50p AVCHD)
- Fast rendering
- Nice pre-sets
- Stop motion, motion tracking and speed shift
- StableCons
- Large projects can be hard to get an overview of
- Does not work on older graphics cards (anymore?)Summary
This is the perfect home/action-video editing software for them using the new camera gadgets flooding the market. Action cameras, smartphones and compact digital cameras is what this is aimed for. Up to 1 hour footage is okay but longer projects tend to be hard to overview and clumsy to edit. It is not a "movie maker" like Photoshop Premiere but perfect for 10-30 min clips editing. Motion tracking, stop motion and speed shift is cool new features that will make action videos look very professional. The performance is good and it renders faster than competitors, specially if you have multicore CPU and a modern GPU. Talk about GPU, older cards from 2006 and like can not take advantage of the new features and therefore an upgrade from X5 is pointless on an older computer. For the price this is a very good software, easy to use and full of cool features. It is stable and renders fast. Get it if you are into home editing.

"Couldn't open my capture device."
Version: Ulead VideoStudio X6
Pros
30 days left on trial so I didn't loose money.
Cons
Program crashed with error message on installation. Will need a Mac to finish my video project.
Summary
Don't waste time on this low quality software.

"You guys have to try this out"
Version: Ulead VideoStudio X6
Pros
Nice program, a lot of features, and it DOES accelerate your GPU (I love it because Sony Vegas cannot accelerate my HD 7770 GPU), nice rendering video quality,...
Cons
Honestly, there is not much templates available for this program.
Summary
I give this program 5 stars :D

"Can't Beat the Price for what you get!"
Version: Ulead VideoStudio X6
Pros
Many features. The Program is one of the easiest video editing software's you can ever hope to work with. Not only is it a fairly nice editor, but the fact that you can pick up the full version for $100 can't be beat. By for a version I mean VS 6 Ultimate.
Cons
There are a number of things that could have been designed differently. Some features that make for a good editor are missing.
Summary
Anybody relatively new to video editing will find this program surprisingly easy to work with compared to the other high-end ones out there. It's by no means the best video editor. But some of the best of video editors are very difficult to learn how to use. As a starter video editor you can't go wrong with this one. It does the majority of the things that the very expensive programs do. And you can purchase the full-featured version for only $100. If you punch in freedomearthmoon 1 on a YouTube search you will find some of my tutorials dealing with Corel VideoStudio. I've only uploaded 2 so far for the new version 6.

"Not an easy to use User interface"
Version: Ulead VideoStudio X5
Pros
It handles HD video well
Cons
I had to youtube for about every simple function as the user interface is NOT intuative so say the least
Summary
Ulead has always been my most favourite software for video editing and animation graphics. But Ulead died and I had to find something that could handle HD video well. That it does but jee I have been cursing an searching for tutorials for the simplest things as for me nothing in this editor is intuative in place.
Grrrrr, Getting MOV to work for importing videos, taken with my Canon EOS mark II camera, is a pain. I simply can' get the MOV files in, even after installing quicktime seperately and adding a path to windows.

"Not the best, but it's good enough"
Version: Ulead VideoStudio X5
Pros
It works with XP and i had no problem. I could not understand why other people had.
Cons
I am finding ...
Summary
I like Sony Vegas. But version 12 doesn't support XP. So i tried PowerDirectior, and i couldn't get it right because somehow, i couldn't import any HD video. Then i tried this software and found it quite useful. People say that they have freezing problem with XP, but i don't. People say that the customer service sucks, but i don't need that. So to me, until now, it's a pretty good software.

"Corel -- The Worst Customer Service Policies"
Version: Ulead VideoStudio X5
Pros
Don't Know -- Couldn't get software to install properly
Cons
Did not install properly on PC -Windows 7 (64bit)
No Customer Service phone number for installation guidance
See details in the summary below.Summary
I am a long time user of VideoStudio, starting when it was ULead software, and decided to upgrade my version x2 Pro to x5 Pro Ultimate.
When I did the install I didn't uninstall my version x2. I received no errors during the verX5 process, and upon opening the program, I was instructed to download an update by Corel to it's Service Pack1. After following all the instructions and installing the Bonus disk which came with the "Ultimate" bundle, I launched the software.
The opening screen of Video Studio defaults to show the "Samples" folder and the media clips provided by Corel, which visually show up.
Hmmm -- no "samples" appeared -- no images, audio or video files??
OK - so I then tried to download (import) my own media into the library, and the error message kept appearing saying that the file format was not recognized. I tried images, audio and video files using standard file conventions -- the same error message appeared. (These were on "known good files".)
So ... maybe the problem had to do with a conflict with my VideoStudio verX2 which I still had installed on my computer.
I uninstalled this older version of Video Studio, and made sure my computer was scrubbed of all shortcuts and files.
Re-booted, cleaned my registry files (using my Norton Utilities), and launched verX5. Same problem -- no "Samples" clips and couldn't import my known-good media files.
Uninstalled, and reinstalled VideoStudio vX5 plus the other programs that were installed associated with this program -- cleaned the registry files -- STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM!
Ok -- after spending about 2-3 hours on all the above, as well as poking into some other areas (directX, etc.) -- I decided to contact Corel.
COREL DOES NOT HAVE A CUSTOMER SUPPORT PHONE NUMBER!!!!
I went on Corel's website and started a "Chat" -- I tried to explain via text entry, what the problem was that I was having. The person who I was chatting with just didn't get it. I had rediculious responses to my inputs, but when I was asked what kind of camera I had that I used to take the pictures of the image files I was trying to import into VideoStudio -- I lost it.
I was then told that I would be contacted by Corel via email to address the software problems.
The following day I received an email by Corel's customer support saying they were reviewing my chat file, and I would be contacted within 48 business hours.
4 days later I received an email from Corel reviewing my problems, with a "to do" list of items -- below is the content of their email:
"I have checked on your conversation with one of our chat agents and you mentioned once there that the files you were trying to import through VideoStudio Pro X5 are all from your iTunes library. Please note that when a file comes from the iTunes library, these files are all copyright protected and could not be imported through VideoStudio Pro X5, mainly because of copyright protection issues.
However, if VideoStudio Pro X5 still cannot import any files that are not from your iTunes library, then you may want to try downloading the codec updates from the links provided below:
* Microsoft Direct X DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer --- [...]
* QuickTime Player ---[...]
* Real Player ---[...]
* DivX --- [...]
* Xvid ---[...]
* FFDSHOW ---[...]
You may also want to follow the steps from the attached article to reset the program to its default settings."
__________________________
You have got to be kidding!!!
Corel -- Get your act together and provide phone support to insure your software can be installed.
I consider myself beyond a "novice" computer user -- though I'm not an expert.
What about someone who is a novice?? Does Corel honestly think their customer support approach is viable???
Oh, and by the way my final email that I sent to Corel's Customer Support Contact with my complaint was also copied to Corel's CEO - Thom Berguist. It's been 1 week since I sent that email, and no response from Corel Managment. Am I surprised -- NO.
Thank you Amazon for accepting the return of this software.
Corel -- Shame on you!! Why are you still in business??? -
