Overall Satisfaction with Corel VideoStudio Pro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Corel VideoStudio Pro for editing together patient experiences, showing firsthand feedback of what treatments are being performed or are being planned for. Simple but effective editing offers us an opportunity to share the best aspects of our office, and as we're constantly growing and changing, we need the right software to allow us to keep pace and showcase all that we are accomplishing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Simple
Intuitive
Very good resources for learning to get the most out of it

Cons

The interface could look a little more modern
It was hard sometimes to cut at the exact right location
A zoom feature would help to make the right adjustments on a minuscule level

Most Important Features

The variety of effects--I can't stay the same and refuse to be banal
How easy it is to sync audio with visual
It's very simple to locate the files needed for my videos; I don't have to jump through hoops to get what is already there

Return on Investment

Clearly stated goals and presentations
A fun, anti-boring way to present new ideas and/or past success
Has effectively shown an important opinion; it gets the message across in a sharp, exciting way in a space where many struggle to capture attention

Alternatives Considered

iMovie

Honestly, I'm looking for something that gets the job done more than just looking fun. While I appreciate much of the aesthetic and simplicity that Apple offers, I much prefer having something more suited to my demanding needs, and if that means sacrificing a little bit of polish and shine for a tool that can withstand and excel under the rigors of what I create, then I will always go for that tool. Corel VideoStudio Pro came through for me when the other, more popular product did not, and I have absolutely no regrets with my decision.

Likelihood to Recommend

I had to present a variety of different opinions and find the common ground among them. Corel VideoStudio Pro allowed me to showcase two, three, even four of these at a time. What especially impressed me were how many transition features were available, which allowed me to make my presentation without worrying if it was "fresh" enough. I would hate to be boring. The audio editing was also simple to use, and overlaying and syncing it to the video was an intuitive process. I was able to complete everything in time, and the response I received was great. I feel confident now when having to perform similar tasks and create such projects.
