So Many Features, So Little
Pinnacle's Studio Plus Version 9 is a significant upgrade to an already mature product. If you've used any of the Studio series in the past, you'll be right at home with Studio 9 Plus. If you've never edited video in your life, but are ready to start, Studio Plus offers a clean, simple user interface and a logical path to creating your video.
