    Thoroughly endorse the last comment. Just moved up to 26 and for me, the cherry on the cake would be a transcript (which I would be delighted to purchase). Miklos explains everything so well and at a good speed for understanding. He takes time to show and tell you where to find things rather than giving vague instructions such as "Click here" when before you know it, the cursor has been moved on to the next action and you`ve missed seeing exactly where "here" is - or was. You feel relaxed watching the video, unlike all other "guides" that dash from one thing to the next, thank you Miklos.

      Thanks, Juan. It’s possible I might do another sometime in the future, but basically, I focus on my interest in debating religion. I found PinnacleStudioPro (Maliek Whitaker) a good source for tutorials on particular operations.

    Greeting from California. I found your tutorial extremely helpful. It's my first attempt at video. I haven't even open the package until I saw your tutorial. Pinnacle Studio seems like a very powerful program. I'm glad you broke it down so it won't be so overwhelming. Pinnacle should pay you for this lesson. Thanks again.

    What a great video! Everything was explained beautifully. I first bought this when it first came out and am thinking of buying 26. Most things seem to be the same, just enhanced, but I still love this program over others and am glad most things are the same from one version to the next.

    I looked at lots of tutorials that only confuse or just simply make things worse. This Tutorial got me started straight away. I was very excited about creating home movies as I had collected so many files over recent years. I had started with Studio 8 then 10 then 12 then 19 but the last one was so different I turned my back on it. THANK YOU Miklos for restoring my enthusiasm to create more family memories.

    • @2994485
      @2994485  3 года назад

      Thanks, ACR, I appreciate the appreciation. Yeah, I think it was Studio 16 when they changed the whole format of the program and you had to relearn everything. It can be very frustrating working with the program, but 1) if does get easier as you get more experienced, and 2) once you have a finished video, it’s great to have it. Sometime in the next few months I plan to post another tutorial, on how to solve all kinds of problems that come up. Best.

  • @schmink116
    @schmink116 3 года назад

    Miklos - just watched your Basics, A to Z and found it very helpful and easy to understand/watch. I'm starting to use Pinnacle Studio 24 and your tutorial is definitely helping. Taking my old VHS tapes of kids growing up and converting them to digital. Not doing any fancy work to them or enhancing them any, not sure I can as they are from the 1980's - 90's, but you helped me create a nice transition point from one segment to the next with a descriptive title. Going to watch your tutorial on making a menu next. Thanks again.

    • @2994485
      @2994485  3 года назад

      Thanks, Darwin. The Menu one is for disks, and I think there is a general trend now away from disks. Myself, I now put material on an external hard drive to save it. I read that Studio morphed over the years from a commercial product for the pubic, to a more advanced program for professionals. When one does family videos, usually you don’t have to do anything too complex, but when you get ambitious, things can get tricky. I’m going to post another video later this month on how to solve various Studio problems. Best.

  • @Wrighty
    @Wrighty 6 лет назад

    I wonder if you can help please, I have pinnacle studio 21,1 and all it does is crash my computer when exporting. I am running windows 10 pro fully updated on a brand new computer 4.2 processer 16 gig memory and 1 gig hard drive. I have tried every setting I can think of in pinnacle and I can't export any video over 10 minutes long at 1920 x 1080 without the computer crashing. I get no blue screen, the computer just locks up and I have to hard boot or it just shuts down and reboots on it's own. It can crash anywhere between 30% to 92% rendered. Any advice would be very welcome, Thanks, Terry.

    • @2994485
      @2994485  6 лет назад +1

      Hi Terry. Generally I don’t answer questions partly because it’s too time-consuming and partly because I am not an expert by any means. I just know stuff I myself have learned. But, regarding your question, I remember some years ago I had a similar problem. With material over ten minutes long, it would not crash my computer, but it would refuse to export. And the way I worked around it was to make my movie in segments of less than ten minutes. I would export 9-minute segments to my desktop and then re-import those segments for a final full movie of one hour long. If I remember right, it would work with such already rendered “chunks” but not work with movie lines of many clips needing to be rendered. I also vaguely remember that at one point I got 6 or 7 of those chunks onto my desktop, made copies (via a flash drive) of them onto my old computer, where segments longer than 10 minutes DID work! I made the full one-hour movie there, combining those 6 or 7 chunks, and then transferred the final copy to my new computer. And then, at one point, the problem disappeared on its own when either I got a newer computer, or a newer version of Studio; I don’t remember which.
      Another thing I noted was that that 10-minute problem was only for Hi Def. If I exported the same movie in standard definition, it worked fine beyond the 10-minute limitation. Maybe bring your computer to Best Buy Geek Squad and they can figure out if it’s your computer or your Studio program. From my experience it’s probably something to do with your computer’s compatibility with Studio. (I can’t get my printer’s scanning function to work with my new computer, but it works fine with my old one!) But how to fix it, I have no idea. Maybe ask Malik, the Pinnacle Studio Pro guy. Or google the problem or check Studio online forums. Or call Studio. I sympathize. It can be soooo frustrating! Good luck. Mickey

    • @Wrighty
      @Wrighty 6 лет назад

      Hi Mickey, Thank you so much for your advice and reply. It's very much appreciated. I'm going mental here lol. I have been on to Microsoft live chat but they didn't help much. I did ask Maliik but he had no idea. I'm using Windows 10 Pro so I downloaded Windows Home to another hard drive and installed, but it's just the same.
      It's like lightening if I edit in 1280 x 720 but when I go to 1920 x 1080 it locks the computer up. I thought it might be the quality of the video clips I'm using as I use my phone, so I will check that out. It has got as far as 93% rendered and then locked up. ( boy that's annoying) so it's not in the same place where it happens. I was wondering if I got a new bigger graphics card if that would help. I have now joined the Pinnacle forum so I'll see what I can find out there. Thank again mate, from a nearly bald Terry.

    • @2994485
      @2994485  6 лет назад

      I vaguely remember something similar happened to me at one point, and I decided, what the heck, I’ll just use 720 instead of 1080. I can’t even tell the difference anyway. Why be so insistent on theoretically best video quality when I myself can’t even tell the difference. Best. Mickey

    • @Wrighty
      @Wrighty 6 лет назад

      Makes sense mate, Thanks for the advice. I've just thought, I bought the computer new and it's a gaming PC and the processor is overclocked to 4.2 do you think that could be the problem?

    Thank you so much Miklos. Your video tuturial is by far the best I've ever found in RUclips. I love your teaching style. Greetings from Spain. (By the way, my wife too loves the banjo music you used)

    Awesome instruction! Plus you provide a wonderful example of patience (Tip# 31) that is so key to success in movie making, as you say. This is my first attempt at Pinnacle and greatly appreciate your tutorial!

    Excellent tutorial my friend. I’ve always wanted to start a brand new channel, strictly on showcasing Pinnacle Studio tutorials. I just need a microphone and screen recording software.
