Ulead MediaStudio Pro

I've been using this program off and on for the past year or two, and I love working with it. Most of my video is mountain biking footage that I piece together. The interface is pretty easy to work with, but the program does take a little bit of getting used to. It has a good amount of features like transition effects, as well as video filters that I am starting to learn

Has a nice good "Drop & Drag" interface, it was easy to start bringing in video and doing basic editing without having to read the manual.

I don't have enough background to compare features with other video editing programs, but for me it doesn't have any weaknesses.

Haven't had to use it

I bought this to edit some Video training footage I shot. I used to have a Music recording studio and I can't even come close to figuring this out!! Tech support is in the toilet... no returned phone calls as of yet..

none...

No manual//no tech support..

yea????

I own the msp 6.5 directors cut. It is very useful and a good piece of software. Easy to use and fast rendering, even on a slower pc.

Good rendering Easy to use

Cannot work very fine with divx 5.x or other third part codecs

This is very bad!

By eclipsing its rivals in both power and ease-of-use, Ulead MediaStudio Pro is the true *industry standard* non-linear video editor in the sub-$1,000 price range.

Ulead MediaStudio Pro leads the NLE industry when it comes to integrated DVD authoring - with native support for MPEG-2 and DV. MediaStudio''s code is optimized for the specific instruction sets of the fastest processors offered by Intel (SSE2) and AMD (3DNow!), which gives the program significant speed advantages over its rivals. In addition, the instant playback feature lets one preview a project in real-time, without spending time rendering preview files. Capture options are especially helpful... scene detection automatically divides the DV video''s various scenes into separate easy-to-manage segments, with mark-in/mark-out points inserted. This program can extract the extra audio files from source videos that have multiple audio tracks and insert them on the timeline. Separate vector illustration and rotoscoping modules add significant power and value to a fully featured video editor. Unlike several other NLEs on the market, Ulead MediaStudio Pro enjoys significant 3rd party plug-in support. There are also plenty of training options available.

While the included audio editor module offers nice full screen waveform views, it should be enhanced with a wider variety of filters.

I have found the Ulead staff members in the USA office to be enthusiastic and helpful.
