Studio V. 10 helps home movies making easier

BANGALORE -- Avid Technology, Inc. recently announced the launch of Pinnacle Studio v.10, the latest of its popular home-editing video product. The Studio v.10 is an easy-to-use, powerful and creative solution, that enables users to make movies on their PCs with special effects and transitions in minutes, through a simple three-step process of ‘Capture, Enhance and Share’.

One can ‘Capture’ photos, videos and audio from a wide array of consumer electronic devices – both analogue and digital; ‘Enhance’ and convert them into blockbuster home movies on one’s PC using groundbreaking effects; and then preserve and ‘Share’ the movies by transferring them on DVD, DV8, on the Web and beyond. One can also animate digital photos with close-ups and pans in any directions to create captivating video sequences. Moreover, Pinnacle Studio 10 also makes it possible for one to restore old, damaged videos.

Pinnacle Studio 10 is available in two packages: Studio 500 USB/PCI and Studio Plus Events Pro. Pinnacle Studio 500 USB/PCI is designed for entry-level users who are looking for a quick and easy way to enhance and share precious memories with family and friends; while Studio Plus Events Pro is meant for advanced video enthusiasts who require additional power, control and quality to create professional looking results.

Krishan Sanghi, India-Head, Pinnacle Systems says: “More and more consumers today are taking up video and digital photography - not just because it is cool technology, but because they feel the need to capture special moments in their lives and share their treasured memories with family and friends. Our objective has always been to make this possible and easier for users. With Studio version 10, we have taken a quantum leap forward by providing consumers a wider range of formats such as HDV and a robust set of new features such as Pan and Zoom. This exposes hobbyists and enthusiasts to the same kind of tools that professionals use to create Hollywood blockbusters.”
