1Privacy and license concerns
By ut158
Corel has some serious privacy issues. As in, if you use their products, they invade your privacy. I can understand them wanting to prevent software piracy, but I don't like the way they go about it.

1) In their EULA (the license you have to agree to in order to install) they tell you straight up that they will audit your usage of the software. They will send back data about how you use the software, your IP address, etc. If you don't agree, you can't install the software. I don't really agree, but I wanted to see what they had to offer, so I installed it on a virtual machine that I gave no Internet access to. This means I can't get updates, but it also means my computer won't be sending them information about what I'm doing (does this not sound like a minor version of spyware to you?)

2) The EULA also says that Corel is not responsible for any damages to your computer that may occur by using this software. It's good (for them) that they put that in there, because in order to accomplish #1 (above) they install "Protexis Licensing V2" software which seems to destabilize my computer. Not horribly, but enough to notice and that's still too much.

3) The EULA also states that some features are not fully compatible with Windows Vista and they don't intend to fix those issues. If you have Vista and (for whatever reason) don't want to go to Windows 7, you may have issues (I'm assuming Win7 is not a problem since they only mention Vista...) Gee, it would have been nice to have told us that up front, rather than burying it in the EULA, don't you think?

If Corel would get rid of their system-destabilizing spyware and allow the user to opt-in and out of anonymous information gathering, then my review would be much better. The presence of Protexis, however, forces me to remove 4 full stars. Yeah--it's that important to me.

The software itself seemed OK, but I really didn't play with it that much because I was really just eager to remove the spyware from my system. If a future version is released without Protexis being installed, then I'll give it a whirl and I suspect I'll rather like it. For now, I'll stick with Adobe Premier Pro, Roxio VideoWave and Pinnacle Studio.

If you are already using Corel software, then you probably already have Protexis installed. If this doesn't bother you, then go ahead and try this software out. What little I saw of it seemed as good as my other video editing suites. For the rest of us...

NOT RECOMMENDED.

4As Fancy As You Wanna Get
By Jenna Glatzer
Many reviewers have mentioned this software as being "intuitive" and that they didn't have to crack the manual. I can only assume that those reviewers weren't trying to do very complicated things with the software-- which is totally fine. There's a great market for people who want nothing more than to create little personal videos for family or online use. However, for those of us who want to "take it to the next level" without months or years of studying, you can definitely do that with this software.

Until now, most of my home movies were made using One True Media-- a super online service for beginners that makes it very easy to make short videos combining photos and digital video clips with music and effects to share online or burn to DVD. However, I had pushed that service to its max-- it gets very, VERY slow and tedious when you try to make long videos (mine were mostly around 30-45-minutes). The download times were appalling and there were certainly limitations to how much you could customize. So I was ready to try a more advanced program, and this one fit the bill.

I didn't find it quite as intuitive as others did. Some of the basic functions were simple to figure out, but if you want to explore the nitty-gritty bits that make this program what it is and set it apart from earlier versions, then you're probably going to need the manual and the online tutorials, and maybe some good ole' search engine help. For instance, I had problems figuring out how to get Mercalli to work to stabilize parts of my videos. When I tried to apply it to my clips, an error message would continually tell me to try again. Some poking around online finally led me to a video where a user showed the simple step I was missing that enabled Mercalli to work-- which was nowhere in Corel's manual. I loved Mercalli-- I was walking around during a parade while filming, and using this program, it looks so much smoother. Very little trial and error is necessary to figure out the right settings for particular types of clips.

I also wanted to figure out how to customize my audio tracks to fade in and out at particular intervals-- to be quiet during video clips and louder during still photos, for instance-- and couldn't figure that out entirely from the manual, either. It was a video from a VideoStudio Pro X2tutorial that walked me through the steps (even though the interface looked different, it was close enough that I could figure it out).

The newly-added Boris Graffiti is nice, too, to create titles and graphics that are more interesting than you'll find in simpler video programs. This will really allow you to get graphically creative if that's up your alley.

The program has crashed on me once in about 20 hours of heavy use (during audio uploading), but it saved my project, so it wasn't a big deal. However, I have a machine well above the specs required, so I was a bit disappointed that it crashed at all. It loads and uploads video, audio, and photos in a reasonable amount of time.

There are vast numbers of tutorials on YouTube that show how to really get the most out of the program using features like stop-motion animation, image correction, and advanced video editing techniques, so it really depends on how much time and effort you want to expend to get the best result. You can be satisfied with just studying the program for an hour or so and making a nice little video, or you can spend a month or two learning all the ins and outs and making really impressive videos that you can use to promote your business, preserve family memories, and so on.

I think it's a very fair price for all it includes, and quite a versatile program.

5Handles AVCHD like a Pro
By R. Dixon
I have recently moved from editing standard definition, to high definition home video (AVCHD file format). This editor was recommended as one that does a great job with AVCHD files, and I have to say that it DELIVERS. The hi-def home movies I have edited with Corel Video Studio Pro Ultimate X4 look sensational. I can not detect any loss in video quality. A particular advantage I have found in working with Corel is that there is no problem editing interlaced 1080i high definition video. Edges are smooth and downright beautiful in this editor---no interlacing artifact! Corel has a wide variety of effects, transitions, etc. However, this is no simple "trim-and-menu" editor (though you can easily use it that way, if you want to). Corel has a feature set that requires a learning curve if you want to get all the benefits of the program. I have beginner level experience with other video editing programs, and I am finding Corel to have many of the same features as my other programs. However, after a few days of learning, I still consider myself to be a rank beginner; I will need more time to begin mastering all of the effects. I am sure it will be worth it, because the end-result of my first editing efforts all have excellent video quality. I am using this editor with the video files produced by my Canon Vixia HF M40 Hi Def camera, and find the management of the Canon's AVCHD files to be top-notch. I also recommend the book "Picture Yourself Making Creative Movies With Corel's Video Studio Pro x4" by Marc Bech. Even with prior editing experience, I really have needed the book to find and use all of the rich features in this program.

Addendum 5/28/2012 I know this editor works well with AVCHD video recorded at 1080/60i, and 1080/30P; the Canon Vixia HF M40 records at these frame rates. I do not know if this program works with AVCHD recorded at 1080/60P.
