Thanks: Gave 513, Got 163 | Pinnacle Studio v12 Released 4th June
You can pre-order from Amazon now and get the Ultimate version for nearly £30 off what Pinnacle themselves want and get free delivery - that's £70.99 instead of £107.99!
The new version seems *hope* to be all I've been waiting for - AVCHD all the way from import to finished product. It even says it'll output AVCHD to 4.7Gb DVDs to be played on a BluRay or PS3 (my personal favourite feature).
I'll let you folks know how I get on with it.
P.S. Anyone want to buy an unused copy of Sony Vegas Platinum? - it looks like a great piece of software but doesn't support my camcorder!

I knew about it when I read your post about Vegas and Panasonics 1920 x 1080 ( which may happen with a patch soon .. If Panasonic will work with Sony)
Given the fact that shipping dates , delivery dates are not unknown to change, and it is my experience that Pinnacle Studio Products are risky to get in the first generation, I was cautious about bringing it up
It is true they release patches quickly but being a tester for an unfinished product is Ok if it isn't paid for, or the use mission critical 
I would certainly wait for user reviews before binning the Vegas,,

Yes I know, I'll be a beta tester no doubt but I did very carefully check that it is supposed to do what I want before buying (even had an online chat with one of their support guys). I guess it's another load of dosh down the drain and a wait for Sony to upgrade if it doesn't  Here software companies, open my wallet and help yourself!
At least I'll be able to make people here aware of my success or folly! The selling comment was slightly tongue-in-cheek.

I have used it from ver 7 ( lovely interface, notoriously unstable) ver 8 ( atrociously unusable and a severe test of patience)
Ver 9.. rather refreshing .. a lot more stable after a few Patches and Version 10 was fine
I have only used 11 about 6-7 times.
It didnt take to my old laptop but i did try and use it with an underspecified machine to be fair.. It works on it but very slowly.. My fault When it works. it is a delight to use IMHO

Some of the new features of Stuidio 12 can be seen here
Of particular interest to HD users is the ability to burn AVCHD Blu-ray discs.
I have used Studio since it was called Studio DV in early 2000 (it seems more than 8 years). Studio DV came complete with a special Firewire card which was the only card the program would work with - the package cost about £200. It was the first editor specifically for DV. It was a development of the analogue video NLE editors that were originally written by Miro. The next release was Studio 7, which then progressed through 8, 9, 10, 11 and now to 12. Studio 10 was the first version to be based on the Liquid Edition code base, and was probably the most troublesome. All have had many problems, but the user interface remains the best of any editor. Despite problems anyone who has experience of editing video completely in the analogue domain will know just how frustrating and expensive that was - Studio DV was a dream!
Studio 12 will be interesting as it is probably the first version to have the full influence of Avid. Personally I will wait until the end of the year before upgrading.

i have got sony vegas pro now [very cheap price],mm i think i will stick with pinnacle 10.5 for now, if pinnacle 12 is similar to 10.5 it has to be more user friendly than vegas.

| It had hicciughs initially, but not as many as Studio 7/8 IMHO. ver 10.5 is quite usable. Many ver 9 users did not upgrade to Ver10 until 10.5 Quote: |

| This I have to agree with, and it has a lot more it can do than first seems apparent especially the multi track (plus) versions Quote: |

| Im not so sure if that,Avid seems to have put some distance between them selves and Pinnacle again ( Still own it though) and are not even developing Liquid ( one of my favourites) beyond ver 7 it seems.

Thanks but I don't have a copy of anything by Pinnacle apart from various 'SE'-type freebies that might have come with camcorders back in the distant past and to be honest I can live with paying £1 extra.
