I beg to differ. For compiling your basic clips into a small video with transitions, subtitles, etc. it is perfectly fine. Not to mention it’s production (file types and quality) are better than Sony Vegas (which I tried). Pinnacle takes FOREVER to do anything and the only useful feature I have found in Pinnacle is the DVD Menu creation system.

Cyberlink uploads to either FB or YouTube directly in full on HD. And the file sizes can be kept quite low. I made a 30 minute video in full HD (19xx by 12xx res to be specific) and it was only 1.8GB with crystal clear audio for a work event.

I agree that Adobe is probably the best option. They are the leaders in graphic design, but for what he needs…it’s not worth it.

It took me like 10hrs to make that soundscape I linked to above between following a tutorial and constantly pausing to keep up, etc.

The potential is CRAZY.
