Media Composer vs. Pinnacle Studio

I've cut my own video content on Media Composer, and also worked on a network television show with it - it performed excellently in both situations. The bins are a great way to find and store content and the timeline is easy to understand. In my experience, crashes were few and far between (although they're a part of the job no matter what DAW you're using).

It is easy to use with very little explanation. It seems well suited for a creative individual looking to make a professional video.

• Importing files is easy but sometimes difficult to locate.
• This might be user error but making folders within the imported files would be nice to have.
• I don't use special effects that often but sometimes they are difficult to find again.

It could use slight improvements. But overall a wonderful product.

I have not used other products like Pinnacle Studio.

• It's saved time by being easy to learn (well, easy to start. It takes a long time to learn)
• Because everyone in the industry uses or has used it, collaborating is easier
• It's saved us money because we don't have to change products
• It integrates well with Pro Tools

• I believe using Pinnacle Studio and what I produced from it aided in doubling our worship attendance.
• No negative impacts.
