Customer Reviews

Great for beginners

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!

Pinnacle Studio 11 Manual

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

Well Done, Except for One Minor Thing

While Studio comes with a printed manual (and how unusual is that these days?), this book is a necessary supplement. Its emphasis on the practical, along with inclusion of useful methods and workarounds, makes it the "go to" book when the manual doesn't answer your questions. Previous editions have saved me several times. There's only one thing I wish it had: a short section on what's new in Studio 11. The manual doesn't have such a section either, and what's on the software box is, not surprisingly, promo copy. The lack of a "what's new" chapter doesn't change the fact that this is absolutely required reading if you're going to get the most out of Studio. It would just make the book better yet.

Visual Quickstart Guide Pinnacle Studio 11

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!

Excellent Book - HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT !!

I very much enjoyed PINNACLE STUDIO 11. Its written in a friendly and easy to understand way. If you're a video Pro OR a Novice (like me) you'll find a treasure of very helpful, hands-on tips. FOR EXAMPLE, Jan Ozer's first chapter on CREATING WACHABLE VIDEO is super helpfull. As a matter of fact, compared to other books I've read such as - Real World Digital Video by Pete Shaner, $30.00 Film School by Mike Dean, and The Complete Guide to Digital Video by Ed Gaskell, NONE were as informative and straight forward as PINNACLE STUDIO 11. In conclusion - the first chapter of the book has excellent tips for better Video shooting, and the remaining sections will teach you how to use Pinnacle Studio 11 like a PRO!!! As always, THANKS for reading my reviews and be well. The WebbMan
