Corel VideoStudio Pro Editor's Review

Quickly create professional styled video with this easy to use Windows application.

Everyone is taking video today. Nearly everyone that I know has a smartphone or has access to a smartphone.  As such, they've got digital photos and, more importantly, video clips flying all over the place.  This is one of the biggest reasons why I like applications like Corel Video Studio Pro. It’s a video editing application for Windows.

Corel VideoStudio Pro is a powerful video-editing application, and has screen recording, built in. Its an all-in-one, video editor that provides editing, advanced effects, interactive web video and total disc authoring into a single package. The app is fast and packed with intuitive tools, that let you create family movies and slideshows, fun, stop motion animations, and screen recordings of presentations, tutorials and more. You can tap into the full power of your multi-core processor and share your creations everywhere with native HTML5 video support, or enhanced DVD and Blu-ray authoring.

Once you've got your creations completed, you can quickly share them online, or burn a professional quality DVD/ Blu-ray disk complete with menus, titles and transitions.  Corel VideoStudio Pro has a huge template library.  You can choose from a variety of Instant Projects, drop in your content and make a movie in minutes.  You can drag your media and graphics onto the Timeline, add effects, transitions and more.   You can reveal or hide tracks, zoom in and out, or customize the Timeline to your liking.  VSP makes it very easy once you get a handle on the workflow. 

App Pro’s: Reasonably priced, DVD and Blu-ray support, Advanced features

App Con’s: Work flow may take a while to get used to

Conclusion: Corel VideoStudio Pro is a really cool app. It makes creating video less complicated than other apps and is fun to use.  Non-experienced users may have a little bit of trouble getting used to the workflow and some of the tools, but it's not difficult once you get going.  If you have a lot of video and want to pull it all together into a disc that can be passed or sent to relatives or simply want to keep a hard copy record that can be viewed from any set top player, this is a decent choice for the task.
