"Pinnacle Systems' Studio MediaSuite is one of the most powerful and complete consumer video-editing applications on the market. Based around the company's brand-new video-editing program, Studio Plus v.9, the updated software adds Picture-in-Picture (PiP) capabilities, pan and zoom controls for still images, and chroma key effects. It also adds a second timeline and useful audio options, including Dolby Digital Stereo encoding, which further help to make it one of the best value-for-money video-editing packages. Pinnacle also bundles a 5x6ft. green sheet backdrop for creating chroma key effects, which is an added bonus, and further adds a range of useful software applications, including Steinberg's WaveLab Lite for editing audio, Corel's PhotoBook for editing and sharing photos, as well as Pinnacle's Instant CD/DVD for burning, copying and backing up data to CDs and DVDs (Studio Plus v.9 can also be purchased on its own for £59.99 ex.
