3 out of 5 stars Good Software, Lousy User's Guide   September 6, 2008

Corel's Ulead VideoStudio 11.5 Plus offers an abundance of features. Learning to use them is a real trial.

I moved from Adobe's Captivate, a program I truly enjoyed using, to VideoStudio 11.5 Plus, because of Adobe's insistence on flash video. I'm finding that it may be easier and quicker to find a good converter program and convert my videos to flash rather than continue to struggle with VideoStudio.

While feature-rich and compatible with many video formats, the documentation for VideoStudio is poor. The User's Guide is small and packed with tiny print and graphics. While I feel sure that everything possible has been included in the Guide, reading such tiny print while trying to follow along online is extremely difficult. Searching the Corel website for video tutorials produced a few but not enough basic tutorials for the program.

VideoStudio 11.5 Plus is a good program (from what I can tell so far) at a reasonable price, especially when compared to alternatives offered by Adobe and Sony. It is my hope that Corel will add many online tutorials so that customers will be able to develop their skills to take full advantage of all the features the program offers.

Four stars for the software, one star for documentation, three stars overall.



5 out of 5 stars Perfect for the first timer!   August 30, 2008

You have a dozen reviewers who will tell you all about the technical capabilities of this software. For me, I needed to make the occasional slide show that incorporates still images and some video, and I needed it to look better than the usual PowerPoint show. I also needed something more dependable and capable than Windows Video Maker. So far, this software has been fantastic. It's amazing how much control I have over transitions, fades, etc! I can do what I want to do, without going to a manual every 5 minutes, and the deal from Amazon can't be beat!


2 out of 5 stars Be careful - no video capture hardware included   August 29, 2008
  0 out of 2 found this review helpful

It seems like a good video editing product - unfortunately I can't use it yet. Nowhere in the Amazon listing and only in VERY tiny print on the box does it say that you have to already have a video capture card on your PC. Well, I guess you can use the USB or firewire input but that doesn't help me import videos from older cameras or VCRs, which is why I bought it in the first place. Not such a good bargain like I thought it was.

4 out of 5 stars Very nice product   August 25, 2008
This product is far superior to Microsoft Windows Movie Maker! I used Movie Maker for several projects and finally gave up on it crashing all the time and just the lack of options it provided. I really like the quality and control I get from VideoStudio. Very nice for the price. Strong recommendation.
