Pinnacle has a history of "undocumented features" (aka: bugs), this is true. But they have recently been bought out by Avid, so hopefully that's in the past. Also, if you spend time on their support forums, workarounds are always available until the next patch comes around.
I saw Studio 9 at Best Buy last week for thirty-something bucks! Give them their due, for the money, there is no more powerful program (I still have to go to S9 for some things that PP won't do) and no better user interface in the business.
