Corel Video Studio Pro X5 Review

The Corel Video Studio Pro X5 comes with a bevy of features that is sure to be appreciated by video editing enthusiasts. There is your standard set of editing tools plus a Movie Wizard feature that allows you to create videos that are as long as whole movies. Full length and full format movies are achievable, but an advanced set of skills are probably more likely to be required in this manner. A wide range of options for outputs are also available for letting other people view your digital creations – you have the option to show it on the computer screen, make use of a TV tuner for a television output, or convert the entire file into a compressed format suited for most mobile video players.  

Aside from the basic editing features, there is also an option to add some special effects like movie titles. Musical scoring proved to be quite easy and seamless with its ‘click and transfer’ capabilities. For those who have milder dreams of simply creating simple slideshows, there is a simplified format sans the excessive and complicated set of tools. This feature would most likely benefit students and teachers as they prepare slide presentations for class.

Perhaps the main selling point of the Corel Video Studio Pro X5 would be the dead easy way of creating high definition or HD format movies and videos. There is more high functioning editing software for video editing out there, but the Corel Video Studio Pro X5 proves to be able to hold its own in this format. Previous users would be glad to know that the older features they have become familiar with are also transferred to this newer version – however, navigation takes some getting used to because of the inclusion of the additional HD format editing features. Nevertheless, Getting used to the new program should not take you more than an hour or so.

At $79, this software is a steal. Further research shows that for the kind of features that are present in this software, you would probably spend a little more than over thirty dollars for another brand.

A quick call to the technician via the 1-800 line will quickly connect you to a reliable service support representative who will gladly assist you. For other types, there is website support for driver downloads and an email function, if you wish.
