Pinnacle Studio 11 for Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide
Product DescriptionPinnacle Studio 11 is the latest version of the industry leading home video editing tool aimed at the Windows consumer market. In Pinnacle Studio 11 for Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide, veteran journalist and teacher Jan Ozer tackles Pinnacle Studio version 11 in classic and popular QuickStart style–with step-by-step instructions, plenty of illustrations, and straightforward language. Jan provides the skinny on all popular Studio 11 features like HD capture, editing and disc burning: Pinnacle Studio Plus edits native HDV or AVCHD footage and then authors HD DVD format discs that will play on the latest HD players; the new Scorefitter music generator which automatically generates soundtracks with 40 source tracks; new simplified web publishing features where users can now automatically post movies publicly on Yahoo! Videos and more.
Very definitely not an elementary level user guide. It is poorly written and must assume that the reader is already well versed in how to use the product. Its only saving grace is that the documentation that comes with the software is even worse. I would NOT recommend this book nor the software to anyone. I feel that I have wasted my money on both the software and this book.

This is a must have for a reference book to studio. being an avid user this aint avid,however for the price studio is ok. we all know it has more bugs than the amazon in the summer so you gotta have this book to make it.
every project i do on studio has a problem, so i try not to use it too much. sad but true, it is that buggy. i have all the latest in computer with plenty of punch and depth for it, but studio 11 or 12 is just too buggy for me. under a hundred bucks what do i want right?
bottom line is if you have studio you must have this book. instructions that come with product are terrible.

I’ve been in love with still photography for over 35 years. Only recently have I developed an interest in video and video editing. I recently purchased a Pinnacle DV/AV capture card and Pinnacle Studio 11 editing software. This book is detailed and easy to understand. Would be lost without it. If you’re going to use the software, buy this book!

An excellent product. Don’t start using Pinnacle Studio until you have at least browsed this book. Much much better than the Pinnacle manual.

This 477 page book is an essential purchase for any user of Pinnacle Studio 11. The author, Jan Ozer, answers all Studio 11 questions before you even ask them. The book’s screen grabs are very well annotated, and his discussion of program functionality is excellent. It includes all components in Studio 11, Plus, and Ultimate. These programs are simple on the surface, but have many complex and very confusing parts which this book explains clearly. It is the best manual I have every read; it makes using the poorly documented Studio 11 a joy!
