Corel Corporation has just introduced its latest update to its Windows-only video editing software: Pinnacle Studio 24 Ultimate. This latest version supports 4K, HD, and 360-degree video editing, an enhanced video masking tool, new animated overlays, and so on. Let’s take a closer look at it!

Pinnacle Studio 24

If you’re new to Pinnacle video editing software, this is a Windows-only NLE made primarily for beginners and prosumers users. It is easy to use, with very intuitive tools.

However, over the last couple of versions – including Pinnacle Studio 23 that we talked about here – more and more professional features are being added to the software.

Pinnacle Studio 24 is available in three different flavors: Studio, Studio Plus, and Ultimate. With each version, you get access to more tools and features than the others. The flagship and more feature-full version of the video editor is Pinnacle Studio 24 Ultimate.

Pinnacle Studio 24 Ultimate – Features

Pinnacle Studio 24 Ultimate brings a lot of improvements and a couple of new features over its predecessor, including:

• Unlimited tracks, 4K video support, multi-camera editing up to 6 cameras, and 360 video editing. Also, Pinnacle Studio 24 supports dynamic transitions, track transparency, and stop motion animation.

• An enhanced title editor that allows you to modify the parameters of any title with keyframe-based controls. It’s also easier to keyframe controls and save them as a preset. Finally, you can copy/paste groups of keyframes across the timeline to repeat transitions, edits, and effects quickly.

• A refined video masking tool to create and track masks into your scene.
• You can now create and save presets, sub-projects, and nested clips to use in future projects.
• New Project Notes make it easy to stay organized when toggling between multi-day editing jobs.

• A new Animated Overlays library with graphics, backgrounds, and animated overlays.
• 5.1 surround audio is back.

• The Color Grading tools were already available, and you can quickly adjust your white balance, saturation, tone curve, as well as apply LUTs to your footage.
• Also, Pinnacle Studio 24 can record your screen and webcam. In the MultiCam Editor, you can combine it to existing footage; this is useful if you’re doing video-game streaming/editing, for example.
• Finally, something that a lot of NLE lacks nowadays, with Pinnacle MyDVD, you can burn your projects to disc…
