I love your focus on the StudioPro screen, with no face/personality time. This makes this lesson very brief and easy to understand. Your voice and phrasing/comments add spice to this dry but important subject matter. I wish I could find an index with all your StudioPro lessons. Keep up the good work.
Thanks charles lauderdale I have playlists on my channel for each version of Pinnacle Studio that I made tuts for. I also have a website that has pages for different categories of PS tutorials. www.pinnaclestudiopro.com/pinnacle-studio-tutorials/
Thank you for sharing this. I have learned more from you today then I have in the last 2 years on my own. Had a problem with thing getting moved around and never new about the different editing modes. Awesome videos you have and extremely informative for the novices like me. I will keep watching to learn more.
Thanks for the tutorials! Best on TH-cam of pinnacle studio 18 ultimate! I'm just staring out and I really appreciate your step by step teaching methods. Keep doin what you're doin!
Hi...Thank you so much for your time making these helpful tutorials. Keep up your good works. Thanks again. BTW, your voice is so funny and your sense of humor is cracked me up...Cheer...I'm really enjoy learning new stuff with fun...
Thank you, I'll give that a try, and thanks for almost instantaneously getting back to me; I wasn't expecting that. Anyway, I appreciate the work you put into your tutorials very much, as your's are the most informative and I can clearly understand everything you are saying and can clearly see everything you are doing - you make it easy to learn and keep me entertained as well - lol
Good tips on the editing modes. Smart, Insert and Overwrite modes are all different. And the keyboard shortcuts are much faster and for me, easier to do than going thru the context menus...
Thanks man I was having problem my clips moving all around when I was inserting a new clip and I hate it that I couldn't paste in a different time line this vid help me a lot thank you
thaks for this great TIPS!!!! you save me a lot of time, whatch your videos are fun and very useful.... and and making my own library of it to see it while i´m offline...
I´m starting using this software, could you help me? I whan to know how to delete clips or part of it in the meddle of the time line and how to move all the other tracks to keep the proyect intact... my email is eric.matthews@cwpanama.com

Ctrl + Delete does ripple delete. Also, you can change the timeline settings from Smart to Overwrite or Insert. When it is on overwrite it will keep everything where it is when you delete clips. When it is in Insert it will move everything when you delete clips. The timeline settings are under the preview window all the way to the right.
How can you make a jump cuts switch really fast to the rhythm of a beat in pinnacle studio 18 ultimate. Also how do you mirror an image and get it to merge...I'm not sure I understood how to that in this video
This weekend I will upload a beat sync tutorial which shows how to sync the beat of a song to cuts of different clips so stay tuned for that. I made the merged he images using green screen footage, keyframing the movement to the center of the screen and then adding a fade t each clip. This video was about copy and pasting so I didn't explain how I merged the clips.
Just started watching your tutorials. I have used Pinnacle since the versions were single digits but never got into everything it could do. As more upgrades became available I tried staying on top of the changes. Now I have 16 Ultimate and am unfamiliar with new features and can't find old ones. Is there a setting for importing a video file with scene breaks so just portions can be added to the editing track, or is there somewhere I can view changes from previous versions so I can sort out what I used to know to what I need to relearn.Thanks for listening. Appreciate all your teaching efforts, good job!
Is there a way to cut and paste correction ? I have a LOT of JPGs that could use the same color corrections and I would love to do it once and reapply it to them all. BTW - love the videos, just found them a short time ago and they have been invaluable!! Thanks!
Thanks for watching my videos. I'm glad you appreciate them. Unfortunately you can't copy/cut and paste corrections. They are made to be applied to each clip separately.
Doesn't let me exporting to file........ Saying has a problems on timeline... How to find the problem??? Please help!! I made this video whole day!!! Ready to cry!!
It should include the timestamp of where the problem exists (EX. 01:15:55 something like that). You need to go to that point in the timeline, trim one frame or two frames off of that clip, and try exporting again. If it doesn't work the clip might be corrupt. If that is the case try removing the scratch or render folder from your drive and try exporting again. The instructions are in the "Render Files" section at the bottom of this page. www.pinnaclestudio.info/reset%20s17.html
You should be able to use transitions. Have you tried to add the transitions back? Before you do that try resetting the transitions. Follow the Rebuilding the effects database info on this page. www.pinnaclestudio.info/reset%20s17.html
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. However, I tried this with a correction (add brightness) and it pasted the whole clip, not just the correction. So I presume that a correction is just that, a correction, not an effect, and will not copy and paste like an effect?? Would appreciate your comments and whether there is a way to add brightness to several clips quicker than having to go to each clip and bring up corrections. . A correction, of course, does not have a pink line, it has a green line. I am editing in Pinnacles 17
+PinnacleStudioPro I think Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 14 had an option "copy all effects" which included copying (and then pasting) all audio corrections; I find it strange that this very useful feature has been liquidated...
I'm going through a very traumatic re-learning after having worked with Studio8 and its predecessors for over a decade. The 400-page PS17 manual has been next to useless in solving most problems I'm encountering. Your videos are great.
Glad I'm able to help you through the transition. I recommend Jeff Naylor's book to anyone wanting to learn about the software. Video Review Pinnacle Studio 17 Revealed Book Review Amazon.com www.amazon.com/Pinnacle-Studio-Plus-Ultimate-Revealed/dp/0956486657
On Pinnacle 17, how do you copy the settings for one clip and put those same settings for another clip?? I have already 5 video sources cut over 50 times, and each of the 5 sources are different changes in settings that I need. Can you please help ?
ET Whisperer (TRebChanneling) You can copy effects and paste them to other clips but you can't copy and paste adjustments. Not sure what you mean by settings. Can you be more specific?
I have Pinnacle Studio 17 Ultimate on my computer now, I also have Pinnacle Studio 23 Ultimate in the box and wondering if is that much better. I am 76 YO and afraid it may be over my head but I have 120 VHS and Hi8 videos to clean up family wants me to do theirs now I bought the equipment to digitize them now clean up time
Hey Maliek, thanks for all of your fabulous tutorials. I refer to them all the time when working with art teachers in my school district. I have a quick question...I am using the picture in picture special effect to place two stills on a black screen (supposed to look like two different windows in two separate rooms on either side of the stage for a theatrical production)... I managed to do that okay, but after four minutes the images need to move towards each other, when they reach centre stage they need to overlap and merge in to one image. Do you have any tips on how to make that work? Thanks JNak
Sure. Add the 2D Editor Advanced effect to both pip winnows. Go to the same exact spot (time stamp) on both pip clips and add a keyframe. About one frame over add another keyframe. Then go to the spot where you want them to overlap and add another keyframe. At the last keyframe you add change the parameters of the position of the two pip windows to the exact same parameters. I think I show how to move pip windows using keyframes in my split screen tutorial. th-cam.com/video/ef09chzj-Zg/w-d-xo.html
Hello PinnacleStudioPro! Do you know how to create two versions of, or clone, a subject? For an example, how were they able to do that to Hayley Mills in the 1961 film Parent Trap? Did they use a green screen?
Green screen is the easiest way. That's what I would use to make it look as realistic as possible. It could also be done with a professional NLE (Adobe After Effects or Final Cut X) by masking out the person from the video and overlaying on another clip.
Enjoy your tutorials. I am do a weekly vid for our church. I have a few time consuming problems. Is there an easy way to combine clips? Next, I often need to repeatedly copy and paste more than one clip, for graphics, color, etc. Is there a way to do this without going back to the most recent clip I used that particular effect in, and then going back to the place I need to paste it? One more--is there a way to center a clip after I have cropped and sized it without using the numbers. It sometimes takes 3 or 4 tries to get exact center. Thank you for any help you can provide.
Not sure what you mean by combining multiple clips. One thing I would recommend for your other issues is to create a saved preset that you can use over and over again. Once you crop and center something you can save the settings for that and give it a name. Then when you do it again you can just drag the saved setting to other videos. Watch this video to learn how to do it. th-cam.com/video/SKsdgvYLzy0/w-d-xo.html
Okay hear me out man. I love your content and glad you never stop making vids and you always respond to fans. So if I'm starting to make TH-cam vids, is this a good editing software. If it matters im going to do sketch comedy stuff! :) thanks
Roberto Uribe It's great for making skit videos. You can pick up the Ultimate version for $130 and the Plus and Basic versions for less. If you want to create effects and composites get Plus or Ultimate.
Hello my friend. I like your tutorials. I am from Brazil too. I have difficulty positioning clips or photo in the correct timeline, because it scroll up or down ....
Thanks Maliek, Nice video! I have a question: Do you have a trick for adjusting the sound level on several clips on the timeline at once (not the whole Track)? I tried to follow your advice in this video with video effects and that works great, but I cannot find the copy options for audio effects (Sound Level). The line on top of the clip is then green, not pink.
Not that I know of. That's why I didn't include the Audio Corrections/Adjustments (Green Line) in this tut. The Audio Effects are actually still a pink line and can use this method. Not sure why it was setup not to make adjustments to Audio Corrections.
Hi Like these tutorials, have one question how do I draw a line on my video clip to point out something specific simular to the tutorial above showing how to copy & paste.
You can do it using keyframes. It would take a long time to do. Check out this video and see if it helps you. Avid Studio & Pinnacle Studio 16 - Keyframe Tutorial
I have a question for you, is it possible to copy a section of your video with music, transitions etc. and copy that section to a new video project? and start with just that edited bit, instead of starting from scratch. Part of my video is damaged and I need to pull part of it if possible
Nice tip! how do you do your opening video, where there r 2 of you and then becomes one, that is a great effect, can you explain how it done? thanks. Mike
Definitely. I did three takes of myself saying each line with a green screen behind me. I added the three clips to the timeline and applied chroma key to each clip. I then applied 2D Editor advanced on two of the clips moving one to the left and one to the right. I used keyframes to move them towards the center and I applied a fade to the end of each clip to fade them out. I added the center clip and on a track below the other clips and added a faed to the beginning of the clip so that it faed on when the other two faed out.
Nice tutorial. I tried Pinnacle on a trial basis a couple of years ago and was pretty impressed with it. I don't have it now but I'm thinking about it. I'm just curious. If you can hold the control key down and the mouse and drag to create a new copy can you not use the same technique to copy effects? That's a great shortcut!
Nice question. I never tried to copy & paste an effect using that shortcut. Not sure it would work as while using that shortcut I am copying clips to empty timeline areas. If I were to try it with effects I would be copy the effect onto a clip. WIsh I could try it right now but I'm on my Mac.
Hey there! Love these tutorials! I have v16, but thankfully, a lot of what you're showing for v17/18 still apply. My question is this - is there a way to copy individual clips between *movie.axp files? I have two different files I created and I want to copy one into the other to use as either PIP or split screen (I haven't decided yet). I tried to copy (import?) the entire .axp file in from my "studio projects" window, but it doesn't give me the individual clips. Thanks in advance! ~ Christina
+WHODAT PEEZ I used a green screen. If you just need to leave them separate as two people in different locations you don't need a green screen. This tutorial might help you out. th-cam.com/video/F7KAYEomX_E/w-d-xo.html
Good tutorial, however, I was trying to copy corrections and do not get the options you do when you doing effects. Is there a solution for corrections?
You can't copy Corrections. Corrections should be made to one clip at a time as each time you press the shutter or record button the image will be different.
Hello Sir, I appreciate all of your great tutorials and for all your help, I am speechless to even thank you for your help. I got a question, I am looking to buy filming package tools including camera, tripod and other tools needed for that. I know you have got all wicked camera, expensive tools for filming. So, if I want to buy camera, tripod and other stuffs need for shooting a short film. I want to know how much would i need to spend for something cheap. I know i can look into canon store or other store, but i know you have had spend on buying cameras for yourself and you know a lot about those. Please let me know about that. And is there any app or any technique I could use on iPhone 5s to get in-depth video? Sorry got a lot of question, but feel like to ask. Thank you very much. looking forward to hear from you.
There are several inexpensive cameras on Amazon. Check out some of the less expensive ones on this page that I recommend. There are cameras as low as $330 and camcorders as low as $700 on the page. www.pinnaclestudiopro.com/cameras/ Check this page for tripods, one is as low as $30. www.pinnaclestudiopro.com/camera-support/ Not sure what you mean about getting in-depth video from an iPhone app. Are you referring to instructions or making the video better on the phone? Can't really improve the video of the phone with an app as that is a hardware limitation.
I like all of your tutorials, as they are very informative and funny as well. I was wondering if you have anything to make a clip go from color to black and white (smoothly), as the later versions of Studio seem to make it just jump from color to black and white when I use key frames, but the earlier versions of Studio, like Studio 10 for instance, would smoothly fade from color to black and white.
No tutorial on it but have you tried creating a dissolve fade? Place the color clip next to the black and white version of the clip. Place your cursor on the upper corner of one of the clips where the clips are touching. Drag the corner down to create a fade.

I really appreciate your TH-cam videos on Pinnacle Studio. I wonder could you redo you video on DVD Menus to include some way to check on the return of a chapter to the Chapter Selection Menu in the Disc Simulator. I find that sometimes they are a second or two out. This is despite having the Magnetic Snapping turned on.
Thanks for the reply. Sorry I wasn't a little clearer. A few times I have noticed that when returning to the chapter menu, after having played a chapter, the return point is a second or so into the next chapter. I have tried to test the returns in the Disc Simulator without success. Is there a way to fast forward in the Disc Simulator?
Gotcha. Not that I know of. Wish I had more info to share. Have you tried looking up the issue on the PS Forum? forums.pinnaclesys.com/forums/242/ShowForum.aspx
Please answer: How do you do the effect where you darken the background and lighten another part of the video so people will focus on what i want them to see? Please answer or make a video thanks!
Hello! Great tutorial you made! One questions , please:: can i make my dvds to be protected from copying them?? Please answer my question! ( you know something i dont know :) ) Have a nice day !
Hi Malik thank you for this tuto. I need a help to insert video in timeline with several tracks.How to insert and move all tracks together sorry for my Frenchy English :=) I use pinnacle studio ultimate 19
Have you created a tutorial on merging clips? How did you make it look like there were two of you on screen? I'd love to recreate a twin effect! Thanks PSP! You're awesome!
Elizabeth J You can have any two clips showing at the same time by making one transparent and placing it on a track above another clip. The Ghost effect shows how to do that. th-cam.com/video/RRDkzu_O8Gs/w-d-xo.html To do what I did in this intro you need to use a green screen and the 2D Editor advanced effect to have the clips showing at the same time and then use a third clip as the background.
I'm losing my mind with this: when I try to right-click a clip that has an effect, nothing happens - no menu pops up. The fx logo shows up when I hover over the pink line, but I can't do anything. I want to copy effects from one clip to another but I can't. Why is this happening? I'm using Studio 18.6.0.865 64 bit on Windows 8.1
+Justin Salvato (Justin M. Salvato) Nevermind. I am getting a refund and going back to version 14. Corel taking over was the worst thing to happen to this software. Went from being consumer friendly to... not so much.
Thanks. There are a few ways to do it so I thought it would be useful. To make the clone effect I used a green screen. One shot of me saying copy and one shot of me saying paste. Then I used 2D Editor advanced to put each green screen shot into place (side by side) and I used the same effect and keyframes to move them both to the center. Then I did a shot of me with no green screen saying Let's get into it.
***** Awesome tutorials Maliek! I work for a school district where Pinnacle has been an authorized resource for intermediate art teachers...your videos have been a fabulous tool for me to practice and get tips that "you just don't learn from a manual". Any chance you have a tutorial on the cloning technique you mention above?
I sure do backstagegal It is for Avid Studio and PS 16 but it will work with 17 and 18 as well. Avid Studio & Pinnacle Studio 16 - Clone Tutorial Thanks for watching my tuts and I'm glad they have helped you learn the software. :-)
Please i need help. I have 2 pc's machines and the problem persist: The pinnacle studio 10, 11, 12, 14, and 17 won´t do a export a movie correctly with menus and chapters, IF i export my project to a DVD format with dual layer !!!!! If i export to a dvd format to a 4.7 dvd, the menus and chapters are ok, BUT if my project has 2 hours of video and if i export these 2 hour of video with a menu and chapters for a 8.5 DVD DL the chapetrs don´t work correctly or the image is not synchronized with the audio. What can i do? Does anyone have the same problem? Please help. Thank's.
Glad you like my tutorials and find them useful. I wish you years of success in your film studies. I don't have any tuts for PS 15 so I hope you can use the ones I do have.
+Kresimir Kozlevcar If it is a picture and you used the pan and zoom tab to create movement you will not get the option to copy. If it is a picture and you use the 2D Editor Advanced to pan and zoom if you right click the PINK LINE on top of the clip you will get the option to copy and paste.
Hi Maliek...been using PS17 Ultimate for about a half year, now...it is a great editing program. I tried Sony Vegas...briefly...learning curve is a bit steep. Question: After I've completed a project in PS17 how do I delete it? I know that in AVID composer you can delete out everything...precomputes, media...everything. Is there a way to do that in PS17...or do I have to Windows Explorer and into my designated folders to delete out the contents? There must be a simpler way...help...Lare Austin
Depends on who you talk to. I like to go to the rehearsals so i get an idea of what is going to happen when and then record only when I need to. That way I have an idea of when to start and stop recording. I also set expectations with the bride and groom that I will be all over the place and blocking people to get the best shots. If I miss something I can always ask the bride and groom to re-enact it later. When I edit it in no one can tell that it happened after the ceremony.
Is there a way to zoom in and out on the bottom part of the screen where the media files are? I can see a way to change the "track size", but that is not sufficient for what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to zoom in to easier align an audio file with a video file. Have searched tutorials for hours with no avail. Should be an easy thing to do.
Crooked Railroad Guess you didn't get to watch my basic editing tutorial. I show how to do it using the mouse and keyboard shortcuts keys at 12:15 of that video. I hope it helps. :-) th-cam.com/video/JTOgam1Uw_8/w-d-xo.html
Hi,PinnacleStudioPro,thanks a lot for the nice tips on this video.Question....Is it possible to make a "Spinning Cube Template " using Pinnacle Studio Pro 17 Ultimate?...I have seen that effect on TH-cam but works only with Adobe Premier,well and if could be done light up your fans bro....Thanks again and of course will give you thumbs up.
No problem Eduardo Albelo. Appreciate the love my dude. You can create a spinning cube in PS 17 using a plugin called Boris Graffiti. I have the plugin and have done it before so I might go ahead and bust it out for my peeps. I don't think it can be done w/o the plugin but I'll give it a go and see what I come up with.
PinnacleStudioPro, Here's my problem. I have titles on track 1, pictures and videos on track 2, and sound on track 3. When I insert an item on the picture track everything moves down to accommodate it. Great! But only on that track. The titles and music are now out of sync from where I had them. How can I make all track adjust from this kind of change?
Ok, got the copy and paste down, put copy on another av line, moved right a little, but they don't play together, like you having 3 copies of yourself on one frame? What did I miss?
Some people aren't happy with the new interface and features. It is a pretty big learning curve. I went from PS 14 to Avid Studio. That was the first iteration of the new version of PS. Since I have been using that version for three years I am used to it.
Question about Pinnacle Studio 17 Ultimate. . . When I use Studio to burn a DVD and then put it in my Sony BX 320 Blu-ray player, I get a message that says it cannot read the disc. I checked the Sony manual and it states that it plays DVD-R/DVD-RW and DVD+R/DVD+RW discs, but it also says, “The player cannot play a recorded disc that is not correctly finalized.” Could this be the problem? If so, then what can I do about it? thanx
Will it play on your computer? Are you in PAL or NTSC region and did you burn the disc with the settings for the appropriate region? That is usually the issue.
***** I’m sorry, I should have included that information. Anyway, I have my Studio custom settings set to NTSC Widescreen (16.9) 720x480/30p and the disc plays fine on the computer, just not the BD player. BTW, I think you are doing a great job putting your tutorials up on the tube.
I've been using an older version...Avid Studio (2011) and I love it. When I got Pinnacle Ultimate 16, it was terrible...buggy and slow. How is the new version of Pinnacle Ultimate 18? I'm hesitant to buy it because of the bad experience in 16.
What is your reason for wanting to upgrade to PS18 if Avid Studio is still working for you? If you have the same PC you will most likely have the same issues with 18 that you had with 16. If you still have Avid Studio just keep using that until you see a need to upgrade. BTW, I always have the current version and the version prior to it on the same machine. That way if something happens with the new version or I don't like it I still have the old version available to use.
***** I'm running Avid on a Dell case (Precision T3500)...running Windows 7 Pro 64bit, with a Xeon processor (3.2 GHz), 16 gigs of Ram, Radeon Graphics and an SSD. When I installed PS16 it ran really slow (so bad I formatted the drive and went back to Avid). The reason for the upgrade is that I'm going to be getting a new laptop (so I can be mobile when I edit). I just want to make sure PS18 (that's the one I'll buy) will run good. I love Avid and the interface with PS16,17,18 looks just about the same.
The interface is the same on all of them. If you are going to buy a laptop make sure it is one powerful SOB. Go with a CUDA enabled video card if possible.
***** Ok, thanks for the help. Any recommendations on a laptop? I'm not familiar with CUDA...but I'll do some research. I was thing about a Dell workstation M6800.
I don't recommend any particular brand or model as the most important thing what works best for you and what will run the program. The Dell Precision M6800 looks pretty good as long as you add some more to the basic configuration (i7, 16GB ram, etc.). You don't have to go with a CUDA card but you get the full 64bit goodness and a lot of core love when you have it.
Why in Pinnacle sturio 19.5 i dont have copy option on effects? i set some effects to 1 clip and i want the same apply to multiple clips and i don`t have this option in P19. In P17,18 exists. Please tell me if in P19 is a new tehnics to copy effects to multiple clips. Thanks
+hdfilmari You can copy and paste effects in PS 19.5. It is done the exact same way as it is done in 17 & 18. I do it all the time. Effects on a video clip are represented by a PINK line near the top of a video clip. I show how to copy and paste effects from one clip to another in this video. You can't copy corrections. Corrections are represented by a GREEN line near the top of a video clip. If you can't select copy and paste from the PINK line in PS 19.5 you need to contact Pinnacle for support.
If the line at the top of the clip is green it is a correction, not an effect. Corrections can't be copied and pasted. As you can see in the video the effects create a pink line at the top of the clip.
Effects have a pink line at the top of the clip. Corrections have a green line at the top of the clip. You can copy and paste effects. You can't copy and paste corrections.
I understand. But in studio 20 it won't let you copy the effect. when you right click the effect if just gives you the option of deleting the effect. It doesnt give you the option of copying it like in the video you posted; not sure why. I'm trying to copy the pan and zoom effect if that helps.
Dear Friend, I have i7 Windows 8.1 ..16gb RAM and 250GB SSD and GTX 760 NVIDA card...with Pinnacle studio 18 ultimate..but when i render video HD 1080p..its using 90% of CPU. I do not thing pinnacle studio 18 is using much of GPU power...please advise. thank you.
If it is enabled I'm not sure why it isn't using it. Wish I could be more help with the tech type questions. Maybe Jeff or Tony (my technical gurus) might be able to help you. Post this to the PS Users Community to see what they have to say. plus.google.com/communities/103736620166447167176
Every time when I export my make video into disc or dvd, it always stop half way @ 35% or 45% of the process... any ideas why that happen.... I use memorable dvd... please help.
I try there not very helpful... All I need is to how to burn the dvd without freeze half way of the process of burning into disc Any help with that. I felt like I waste $109 plus tax tax tax for nothing....any help will do... Thanks..
I saw the post and asked you some questions. You did not reply to all of the questions we asked so it is hard to help you. We can't provide a solution to a problem without getting all of the questions answered. That way we can determine the issue that is causing the problem and find a solution for you.You have to be willing to try the suggestions and report back what happened. Some of the questions asked were what brand of disc, did you check that the disc is NTSC or PAL (just because those were your settings doesn't mean the disc was burned that way), did you create a disc image, can you render a file of the video or does it freeze as well, and more. Try the suggestions and report back on the post what happened when you tried each one. Thanks.
Hey my brother! I've been watching your videos as I am new to the pinnacle studio; I'm very impressed and appreciate your "step by step" method of teaching. I however am having problems with learning specifically how to text and do basic things like themes etc. For some reason the program doesn't do as you explain it would. Please help me out. Student in training.
Thanks for the comment. Not sure how I can help you with your issue. If you have PS Ultimate and you are following my instructions the program should do as I say it would. Can you be more specific?
Does it not show the text in the Title Editor Window while you type it or after you click on OK at the bottom of the Title Editor does it not show it when you preview the video? Which version of Pinnacle Studio do you have?
Sorry I meant Basic, Ultimate, or Plus. If your text isn't showing up at all there is something wrong with the software. Try resetting it and then tell me if it works. Here are the instructions. www.pinnaclestudiopro.com/resetting-pinnacle-studio-17/
I want to lock my time line to fix some voice over. I cannot find the button that you are telling me to use. I have Pinnacle 17. Where is that button? Plz help!!!!!
In the how to copy and paste video, you clicked on an arrow button under the screen to set your time line settings. You had yours on over write mode which locks the other things in place. I do not have that arrow button. All I know is that I have Pinnacle studio 17.
You definitely have the BEST tutorials for Studio out there... one of these days I'm going to have to sit and just watch them all through.
Thanks.

I love your focus on the StudioPro screen, with no face/personality time. This makes this lesson very brief and easy to understand. Your voice and phrasing/comments add spice to this dry but important subject matter. I wish I could find an index with all your StudioPro lessons. Keep up the good work.
Thanks charles lauderdale I have playlists on my channel for each version of Pinnacle Studio that I made tuts for. I also have a website that has pages for different categories of PS tutorials. www.pinnaclestudiopro.com/pinnacle-studio-tutorials/
Thank you for sharing this. I have learned more from you today then I have in the last 2 years on my own. Had a problem with thing getting moved around and never new about the different editing modes. Awesome videos you have and extremely informative for the novices like me. I will keep watching to learn more.
mark kottke Glad I could add to your knowledge of the program and help you along in your video editing journey.
Thanks for the tutorials! Best on TH-cam of pinnacle studio 18 ultimate! I'm just staring out and I really appreciate your step by step teaching methods. Keep doin what you're doin!
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Means a lot. :-)
Hi...Thank you so much for your time making these helpful tutorials. Keep up your good works. Thanks again.
BTW, your voice is so funny and your sense of humor is cracked me up...Cheer...I'm really enjoy learning new stuff with fun...
Glad you like what you see and hear. :-)
Thank you, I'll give that a try, and thanks for almost instantaneously getting back to me; I wasn't expecting that. Anyway, I appreciate the work you put into your tutorials very much, as your's are the most informative and I can clearly understand everything you are saying and can clearly see everything you are doing - you make it easy to learn and keep me entertained as well - lol
Appreciate the love KCJR7
Okay thanks, I am going to go and purchase most of the stuff I need this Sunday when I get off the road.
Thank you for all of your tutorials! I learned a lot of cool techniques and tricks from you.
+TheASMproduction You're welcome. Happy to help.
Good tips on the editing modes. Smart, Insert and Overwrite modes are all different. And the keyboard shortcuts are much faster and for me, easier to do than going thru the context menus...
Thanks Anthony Pierre All of the timeline modes are useful depending on what you are doing and shortcut keys also speed up the workflow.
Thanks Maliek. I like the way I can turn to your advice when I think I should know something about Pinnacle Studio but can't quite remember!
You're welcome. I'm glad I can be there to help you out. :-)
Instructive, reminder video. Cool job. The more I watch, the more I like.
Coolio! Thanks for watching Diverse VE

Ctrl + Delete does ripple delete.
Also, you can change the timeline settings from Smart to Overwrite or Insert. When it is on overwrite it will keep everything where it is when you delete clips. When it is in Insert it will move everything when you delete clips. The timeline settings are under the preview window all the way to the right.
Answered several questions I wasn't anticipating. Thank you.
Coolio! Glad I was able to help out.
My question on this subject: Answered!
Thanks Good sir,
Learning something new everyday :)
Sandro Celestino Awesome! :-)
I did not know about c&p effects from one clip to another. Awesome! Thanks again.
You are getting some tips today aren't you my friend? :-)
That doesn’t work on studio 21
How can you make a jump cuts switch really fast to the rhythm of a beat in pinnacle studio 18 ultimate. Also how do you mirror an image and get it to merge...I'm not sure I understood how to that in this video
This weekend I will upload a beat sync tutorial which shows how to sync the beat of a song to cuts of different clips so stay tuned for that. I made the merged he images using green screen footage, keyframing the movement to the center of the screen and then adding a fade t each clip. This video was about copy and pasting so I didn't explain how I merged the clips.
Let's hear it for the Pinnacle Pro! Excellent teaching videos.
You are cool dude! Your tutorials are great and fun at the same time.
Appreciate that Lassana Toure I love it when I'm able to help people out while making them smile. :-)
Just started watching your tutorials. I have used Pinnacle since the versions were single digits but never got into everything it could do. As more upgrades became available I tried staying on top of the changes. Now I have 16 Ultimate and am unfamiliar with new features and can't find old ones. Is there a setting for importing a video file with scene breaks so just portions can be added to the editing track, or is there somewhere I can view changes from previous versions so I can sort out what I used to know to what I need to relearn.Thanks for listening. Appreciate all your teaching efforts, good job!
As always, your tutorials are very helpful! Thanks!
Thank you so much... I watched many of your most helpful videos...
Is there a way to cut and paste correction ? I have a LOT of JPGs that could use the same color corrections and I would love to do it once and reapply it to them all.
BTW - love the videos, just found them a short time ago and they have been invaluable!! Thanks!
Thanks for watching my videos. I'm glad you appreciate them. Unfortunately you can't copy/cut and paste corrections. They are made to be applied to each clip separately.
Doesn't let me exporting to file........ Saying has a problems on timeline... How to find the problem??? Please help!! I made this video whole day!!! Ready to cry!!
It should include the timestamp of where the problem exists (EX. 01:15:55 something like that). You need to go to that point in the timeline, trim one frame or two frames off of that clip, and try exporting again. If it doesn't work the clip might be corrupt. If that is the case try removing the scratch or render folder from your drive and try exporting again. The instructions are in the "Render Files" section at the bottom of this page. www.pinnaclestudio.info/reset%20s17.html
I think transition the ones don't let me export. I removed them all and it is exported. Can't I use transitions at all????
You should be able to use transitions. Have you tried to add the transitions back? Before you do that try resetting the transitions. Follow the Rebuilding the effects database info on this page. www.pinnaclestudio.info/reset%20s17.html
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. However, I tried this with a correction (add brightness) and it pasted the whole clip, not just the correction. So I presume that a correction is just that, a correction, not an effect, and will not copy and paste like an effect?? Would appreciate your comments and whether there is a way to add brightness to several clips quicker than having to go to each clip and bring up corrections. . A correction, of course, does not have a pink line, it has a green line. I am editing in Pinnacles 17
+Eilleen Lewis You are correct. This does not work with corrections. I am not aware of a means to copy and paste corrections. :-(
+PinnacleStudioPro I think Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 14 had an option "copy all effects" which included copying (and then pasting) all audio corrections; I find it strange that this very useful feature has been liquidated...
Hi... I want to know if you have explanained how to make ripple delete to remove gaps in the timeline...

I'm going through a very traumatic re-learning after having worked with Studio8 and its predecessors for over a decade. The 400-page PS17 manual has been next to useless in solving most problems I'm encountering. Your videos are great.
Glad I'm able to help you through the transition. I recommend Jeff Naylor's book to anyone wanting to learn about the software.

Excellent tutorials for Pinnacle - thanks so much!!
On Pinnacle 17, how do you copy the settings for one clip and put those same settings for another clip?? I have already 5 video sources cut over 50 times, and each of the 5 sources are different changes in settings that I need. Can you please help ?
ET Whisperer (TRebChanneling) You can copy effects and paste them to other clips but you can't copy and paste adjustments. Not sure what you mean by settings. Can you be more specific?
How do you make your intros?
Do you use Pinnacle Studios 17 for your intros?
I have Pinnacle Studio 17 Ultimate on my computer now, I also have Pinnacle Studio 23 Ultimate in the box and wondering if is that much better. I am 76 YO and afraid it may be over my head but I have 120 VHS and Hi8 videos to clean up family wants me to do theirs now I bought the equipment to digitize them now clean up time
Hey Maliek, thanks for all of your fabulous tutorials. I refer to them all the time when working with art teachers in my school district.
I have a quick question...I am using the picture in picture special effect to place two stills on a black screen (supposed to look like two different windows in two separate rooms on either side of the stage for a theatrical production)... I managed to do that okay, but after four minutes the images need to move towards each other, when they reach centre stage they need to overlap and merge in to one image. Do you have any tips on how to make that work?
Thanks
JNak
Sure. Add the 2D Editor Advanced effect to both pip winnows. Go to the same exact spot (time stamp) on both pip clips and add a keyframe. About one frame over add another keyframe. Then go to the spot where you want them to overlap and add another keyframe. At the last keyframe you add change the parameters of the position of the two pip windows to the exact same parameters. I think I show how to move pip windows using keyframes in my split screen tutorial.

Hello PinnacleStudioPro! Do you know how to create two versions of, or clone, a subject? For an example, how were they able to do that to Hayley Mills in the 1961 film Parent Trap? Did they use a green screen?
Green screen is the easiest way. That's what I would use to make it look as realistic as possible. It could also be done with a professional NLE (Adobe After Effects or Final Cut X) by masking out the person from the video and overlaying on another clip.
***** Thanks
Enjoy your tutorials. I am do a weekly vid for our church. I have a few time consuming problems. Is there an easy way to combine clips? Next, I often need to repeatedly copy and paste more than one clip, for graphics, color, etc. Is there a way to do this without going back to the most recent clip I used that particular effect in, and then going back to the place I need to paste it? One more--is there a way to center a clip after I have cropped and sized it without using the numbers. It sometimes takes 3 or 4 tries to get exact center. Thank you for any help you can provide.
Not sure what you mean by combining multiple clips. One thing I would recommend for your other issues is to create a saved preset that you can use over and over again. Once you crop and center something you can save the settings for that and give it a name. Then when you do it again you can just drag the saved setting to other videos. Watch this video to learn how to do it. th-cam.com/video/SKsdgvYLzy0/w-d-xo.html
Okay hear me out man. I love your content and glad you never stop making vids and you always respond to fans. So if I'm starting to make TH-cam vids, is this a good editing software. If it matters im going to do sketch comedy stuff! :) thanks
One more thing. How much did your cost and can this be used for pc?
Roberto Uribe It's great for making skit videos. You can pick up the Ultimate version for $130 and the Plus and Basic versions for less. If you want to create effects and composites get Plus or Ultimate.
Hello my friend. I like your tutorials. I am from Brazil too. I have difficulty positioning clips or photo in the correct timeline, because it scroll up or down ....
Keep up the great tutorials, I love it.
Thanks so much! :-)
Thanks Maliek, Nice video! I have a question: Do you have a trick for adjusting the sound level on several clips on the timeline at once (not the whole Track)? I tried to follow your advice in this video with video effects and that works great, but I cannot find the copy options for audio effects (Sound Level). The line on top of the clip is then green, not pink.
Not that I know of. That's why I didn't include the Audio Corrections/Adjustments (Green Line) in this tut. The Audio Effects are actually still a pink line and can use this method. Not sure why it was setup not to make adjustments to Audio Corrections.
Copy effect and paste feature is not available on my pinnacle 21. do you know why?
Hi Like these tutorials, have one question how do I draw a line on my video clip to point out something specific simular to the tutorial above showing how to copy & paste.
You can't do it like that using Pinnacle Studio. My screen capture software Camtasia creates the callouts you see on my tutorials.
Good! Love your style!
Thanks a lot Robert Hum
Could you make a tutorial about how to make animated pictures..? Like taking normal photos and making them move around the screen?
You can do it using keyframes. It would take a long time to do. Check out this video and see if it helps you. Avid Studio & Pinnacle Studio 16 - Keyframe Tutorial
Alright, thanks.
I have a question for you, is it possible to copy a section of your video with music, transitions etc. and copy that section to a new video project? and start with just that edited bit, instead of starting from scratch. Part of my video is damaged and I need to pull part of it if possible
Nice tip! how do you do your opening video, where there r 2 of you and then becomes one, that is a great effect, can you explain how it done? thanks. Mike
Definitely. I did three takes of myself saying each line with a green screen behind me. I added the three clips to the timeline and applied chroma key to each clip. I then applied 2D Editor advanced on two of the clips moving one to the left and one to the right. I used keyframes to move them towards the center and I applied a fade to the end of each clip to fade them out. I added the center clip and on a track below the other clips and added a faed to the beginning of the clip so that it faed on when the other two faed out.
Thanks for the info, sounded like it was a major undertaking, great result!!!! Happy New Year!
Sounds like it was hard but it is pretty simple to do. Thanks for being a fan and Happy new Years to you and yours.
Nice tutorial. I tried Pinnacle on a trial basis a couple of years ago and was pretty impressed with it. I don't have it now but I'm thinking about it. I'm just curious. If you can hold the control key down and the mouse and drag to create a new copy can you not use the same technique to copy effects? That's a great shortcut!
Nice question. I never tried to copy & paste an effect using that shortcut. Not sure it would work as while using that shortcut I am copying clips to empty timeline areas. If I were to try it with effects I would be copy the effect onto a clip. WIsh I could try it right now but I'm on my Mac.
Hey there! Love these tutorials!
I have v16, but thankfully, a lot of what you're showing for v17/18 still apply. My question is this - is there a way to copy individual clips between *movie.axp files? I have two different files I created and I want to copy one into the other to use as either PIP or split screen (I haven't decided yet).
I tried to copy (import?) the entire .axp file in from my "studio projects" window, but it doesn't give me the individual clips.
Thanks in advance!
~ Christina
Hello again. Never mind. I figured out how to do it. Quite a hassle, but I managed to do what I want. Thanks anyway and keep up the great tutorials!
How did you do it?
Nice tutorial. Features I did not know. Thank you
Glad to give your some more insight into what the program can do Alain Bigio
Worked like a champ (pasting effects) Thanks
how did you do that joint at the beginning because i need to do a vidio where i am sitting on my bed and me sitting in the chair next to me
+WHODAT PEEZ I used a green screen. If you just need to leave them separate as two people in different locations you don't need a green screen. This tutorial might help you out.

YO YOU ARE THEE FUCING MAN YO!! YOU WILL ALWAYS GET RECOGNITION ON MY VIDS....I GOT YOU
Good tutorial, however, I was trying to copy corrections and do not get the options you do when you doing effects. Is there a solution for corrections?
You can't copy Corrections. Corrections should be made to one clip at a time as each time you press the shutter or record button the image will be different.
Hello Sir, I appreciate all of your great tutorials and for all your help, I am speechless to even thank you for your help. I got a question, I am looking to buy filming package tools including camera, tripod and other tools needed for that. I know you have got all wicked camera, expensive tools for filming. So, if I want to buy camera, tripod and other stuffs need for shooting a short film. I want to know how much would i need to spend for something cheap. I know i can look into canon store or other store, but i know you have had spend on buying cameras for yourself and you know a lot about those. Please let me know about that. And is there any app or any technique I could use on iPhone 5s to get in-depth video? Sorry got a lot of question, but feel like to ask. Thank you very much. looking forward to hear from you.
There are several inexpensive cameras on Amazon. Check out some of the less expensive ones on this page that I recommend. There are cameras as low as $330 and camcorders as low as $700 on the page. www.pinnaclestudiopro.com/cameras/ Check this page for tripods, one is as low as $30. www.pinnaclestudiopro.com/camera-support/ Not sure what you mean about getting in-depth video from an iPhone app. Are you referring to instructions or making the video better on the phone? Can't really improve the video of the phone with an app as that is a hardware limitation.
how to applying color correction/grading to multiple clips at once
I like all of your tutorials, as they are very informative and funny as well. I was wondering if you have anything to make a clip go from color to black and white (smoothly), as the later versions of Studio seem to make it just jump from color to black and white when I use key frames, but the earlier versions of Studio, like Studio 10 for instance, would smoothly fade from color to black and white.
No tutorial on it but have you tried creating a dissolve fade? Place the color clip next to the black and white version of the clip. Place your cursor on the upper corner of one of the clips where the clips are touching. Drag the corner down to create a fade.

I really appreciate your TH-cam videos on Pinnacle Studio. I wonder could you redo you video on DVD Menus to include some way to check on the return of a chapter to the Chapter Selection Menu in the Disc Simulator. I find that sometimes they are a second or two out. This is despite having the Magnetic Snapping turned on.
I'm not sure if there is a way to check on the return button except for using it in the disc simulator. Am I missing something here?
Thanks for the reply. Sorry I wasn't a little clearer. A few times I have noticed that when returning to the chapter menu, after having played a chapter, the return point is a second or so into the next chapter. I have tried to test the returns in the Disc Simulator without success. Is there a way to fast forward in the Disc Simulator?
Gotcha. Not that I know of. Wish I had more info to share. Have you tried looking up the issue on the PS Forum? forums.pinnaclesys.com/forums/242/ShowForum.aspx

Have you created a tutorial on merging clips? How did you make it look like there were two of you on screen? I'd love to recreate a twin effect! Thanks PSP! You're awesome!
Elizabeth J You can have any two clips showing at the same time by making one transparent and placing it on a track above another clip. The Ghost effect shows how to do that. th-cam.com/video/RRDkzu_O8Gs/w-d-xo.html
To do what I did in this intro you need to use a green screen and the 2D Editor advanced effect to have the clips showing at the same time and then use a third clip as the background.
Thank you! Very thorough!
Copping and effect from one clip to another in Studio 20 is not working. When I right click I only get ie Pan and Zoom.

Can you copy and paste Corrections? Im habing a problem with this
Well needed - Thanks Sir.
I'm losing my mind with this: when I try to right-click a clip that has an effect, nothing happens - no menu pops up. The fx logo shows up when I hover over the pink line, but I can't do anything.

+Justin Salvato (Justin M. Salvato) Nevermind. I am getting a refund and going back to version 14. Corel taking over was the worst thing to happen to this software. Went from being consumer friendly to... not so much.
this is nice. didnt know how to do it. How did you do the cloning in the beginning of the video? Was pretty cool
Thanks. There are a few ways to do it so I thought it would be useful. To make the clone effect I used a green screen. One shot of me saying copy and one shot of me saying paste. Then I used 2D Editor advanced to put each green screen shot into place (side by side) and I used the same effect and keyframes to move them both to the center. Then I did a shot of me with no green screen saying Let's get into it.
***** Awesome tutorials Maliek! I work for a school district where Pinnacle has been an authorized resource for intermediate art teachers...your videos have been a fabulous tool for me to practice and get tips that "you just don't learn from a manual". Any chance you have a tutorial on the cloning technique you mention above?

Does anyone have the same problem?
Please help.

+Kresimir Kozlevcar If it is a picture and you used the pan and zoom tab to create movement you will not get the option to copy. If it is a picture and you use the 2D Editor Advanced to pan and zoom if you right click the PINK LINE on top of the clip you will get the option to copy and paste.
Hi Maliek...been using PS17 Ultimate for about a half year, now...it is a great editing program. I tried Sony Vegas...briefly...learning curve is a bit steep. Question: After I've completed a project in PS17 how do I delete it? I know that in AVID composer you can delete out everything...precomputes, media...everything. Is there a way to do that in PS17...or do I have to Windows Explorer and into my designated folders to delete out the contents? There must be a simpler way...help...Lare Austin
I would go to File Save As and delete the project you want to delete from there. Preferences has an option to delete render files but that's about it.
When making a wedding video that lasts around 30 minutes. Is it best to leave the video in one length or in several cuts to edit?
Depends on who you talk to. I like to go to the rehearsals so i get an idea of what is going to happen when and then record only when I need to. That way I have an idea of when to start and stop recording. I also set expectations with the bride and groom that I will be all over the place and blocking people to get the best shots. If I miss something I can always ask the bride and groom to re-enact it later. When I edit it in no one can tell that it happened after the ceremony.
you have some good stuff enjoy your training
Cool. Make sure you check out my FB page and post your latest PS video on Sunday.
Is there a way to zoom in and out on the bottom part of the screen where the media files are? I can see a way to change the "track size", but that is not sufficient for what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to zoom in to easier align an audio file with a video file. Have searched tutorials for hours with no avail. Should be an easy thing to do.

Hi,PinnacleStudioPro,thanks a lot for the nice tips on this video.Question....Is it possible to make a "Spinning Cube Template " using Pinnacle Studio Pro 17 Ultimate?...I have seen that effect on TH-cam but works only with Adobe Premier,well and if could be done light up your fans bro....Thanks again and of course will give you thumbs up.
No problem Eduardo Albelo. Appreciate the love my dude. You can create a spinning cube in PS 17 using a plugin called Boris Graffiti. I have the plugin and have done it before so I might go ahead and bust it out for my peeps. I don't think it can be done w/o the plugin but I'll give it a go and see what I come up with.
Thank you my main man,you never left your soldiers behind, I appreciate your time and dedication,big upss homey.
Can you copy and past corrections?
Aldo Napoli No. You can only copy and paste effects.
It stinks. It took me hours clicking on individual clips and color correcting when it was all from the same video but in different sections
PinnacleStudioPro, Here's my problem. I have titles on track 1, pictures and videos on track 2, and sound on track 3. When I insert an item on the picture track everything moves down to accommodate it. Great! But only on that track. The titles and music are now out of sync from where I had them. How can I make all track adjust from this kind of change?
Under the preview window on the right click on timeline mode and change it to overwrite or insert.
Thanks for the tutorial!
No problem. Did you see this video on my other channel? TH-cam Creator Studio App iPad / iPhone Review & Tutorial I gave you a shout out.
Great, very useful. Thanks!!
Ok, got the copy and paste down, put copy on another av line, moved right a little, but they don't play together, like you having 3 copies of yourself on one frame? What did I miss?
Not sure what you are asking. Can you clarify?
Hey dude i have pinnacle 14 and upgrading to 17 i am disapointed and have gone straight back to 14 whats your thoughs!
When i try to watch my edited video in the video screen it just is delayed and jumpy no mater what settings i put it on! how can i fix this
Some people aren't happy with the new interface and features. It is a pretty big learning curve. I went from PS 14 to Avid Studio. That was the first iteration of the new version of PS. Since I have been using that version for three years I am used to it.

Question about Pinnacle Studio 17 Ultimate. . . When I use Studio to burn a DVD and then put it in my Sony BX 320 Blu-ray player, I get a message that says it cannot read the disc. I checked the Sony manual and it states that it plays DVD-R/DVD-RW and DVD+R/DVD+RW discs, but it also says, “The player cannot play a recorded disc that is not correctly finalized.” Could this be the problem? If so, then what can I do about it? thanx
Will it play on your computer? Are you in PAL or NTSC region and did you burn the disc with the settings for the appropriate region? That is usually the issue.

I’m sorry, I should have included that information. Anyway, I have my Studio custom settings set to NTSC Widescreen (16.9) 720x480/30p and the disc plays fine on the computer, just not the BD player. BTW, I think you are doing a great job putting your tutorials up on the tube.
I've been using an older version...Avid Studio (2011) and I love it. When I got Pinnacle Ultimate 16, it was terrible...buggy and slow. How is the new version of Pinnacle Ultimate 18? I'm hesitant to buy it because of the bad experience in 16.
What is your reason for wanting to upgrade to PS18 if Avid Studio is still working for you? If you have the same PC you will most likely have the same issues with 18 that you had with 16. If you still have Avid Studio just keep using that until you see a need to upgrade. BTW, I always have the current version and the version prior to it on the same machine. That way if something happens with the new version or I don't like it I still have the old version available to use.
***** I'm running Avid on a Dell case (Precision T3500)...running Windows 7 Pro 64bit, with a Xeon processor (3.2 GHz), 16 gigs of Ram, Radeon Graphics and an SSD. When I installed PS16 it ran really slow (so bad I formatted the drive and went back to Avid). The reason for the upgrade is that I'm going to be getting a new laptop (so I can be mobile when I edit). I just want to make sure PS18 (that's the one I'll buy) will run good. I love Avid and the interface with PS16,17,18 looks just about the same.
The interface is the same on all of them. If you are going to buy a laptop make sure it is one powerful SOB. Go with a CUDA enabled video card if possible.
***** Ok, thanks for the help. Any recommendations on a laptop? I'm not familiar with CUDA...but I'll do some research. I was thing about a Dell workstation M6800.
I don't recommend any particular brand or model as the most important thing what works best for you and what will run the program. The Dell Precision M6800 looks pretty good as long as you add some more to the basic configuration (i7, 16GB ram, etc.). You don't have to go with a CUDA card but you get the full 64bit goodness and a lot of core love when you have it.
Why in Pinnacle sturio 19.5 i dont have copy option on effects? i set some effects to 1 clip and i want the same apply to multiple clips and i don`t have this option in P19. In P17,18 exists. Please tell me if in P19 is a new tehnics to copy effects to multiple clips. Thanks
+hdfilmari You can copy and paste effects in PS 19.5. It is done the exact same way as it is done in 17 & 18. I do it all the time. Effects on a video clip are represented by a PINK line near the top of a video clip. I show how to copy and paste effects from one clip to another in this video.
You can't copy corrections. Corrections are represented by a GREEN line near the top of a video clip.
If you can't select copy and paste from the PINK line in PS 19.5 you need to contact Pinnacle for support.
I have some scaling affects that I can not seem to copy as you are showing. I have Pinnacle 20
If the line at the top of the clip is green it is a correction, not an effect. Corrections can't be copied and pasted. As you can see in the video the effects create a pink line at the top of the clip.
Please help, cant copy and paste effects in studio 20 like the video. There is no shortcut I can find in google search.
Thanks!
Effects have a pink line at the top of the clip. Corrections have a green line at the top of the clip.
You can copy and paste effects. You can't copy and paste corrections.
I understand. But in studio 20 it won't let you copy the effect. when you right click the effect if just gives you the option of deleting the effect. It doesnt give you the option of copying it like in the video you posted; not sure why. I'm trying to copy the pan and zoom effect if that helps.
Do you have the basic, plus, or ultimate version of the program?
Dear Friend,
I have i7 Windows 8.1 ..16gb RAM and 250GB SSD and GTX 760 NVIDA card...with Pinnacle studio 18 ultimate..but when i render video HD 1080p..its using 90% of CPU. I do not thing pinnacle studio 18 is using much of GPU power...please advise. thank you.
Have you went to settings and enabled CUDA GPU?
Yes. I shoot 70d ipb format n export in mp4 1080..even default mp4 settings...export takes while n don't use GPU at all
If it is enabled I'm not sure why it isn't using it. Wish I could be more help with the tech type questions. Maybe Jeff or Tony (my technical gurus) might be able to help you. Post this to the PS Users Community to see what they have to say.

I try there not very helpful... All I need is to how to burn the dvd without freeze half way of the process of burning into disc Any help with that. I felt like I waste $109 plus tax tax tax for nothing....any help will do... Thanks..
I saw the post and asked you some questions. You did not reply to all of the questions we asked so it is hard to help you. We can't provide a solution to a problem without getting all of the questions answered. That way we can determine the issue that is causing the problem and find a solution for you.You have to be willing to try the suggestions and report back what happened. Some of the questions asked were what brand of disc, did you check that the disc is NTSC or PAL (just because those were your settings doesn't mean the disc was burned that way), did you create a disc image, can you render a file of the video or does it freeze as well, and more. Try the suggestions and report back on the post what happened when you tried each one. Thanks.
I want to be able to copy a title that I made in one video to other videos. Can you help me with this?
You can save your titles and then use them in other videos.

Hey my brother! I've been watching your videos as I am new to the pinnacle studio; I'm very impressed and appreciate your "step by step" method of teaching. I however am having problems with learning specifically how to text and do basic things like themes etc. For some reason the program doesn't do as you explain it would. Please help me out. Student in training.
Thanks for the comment. Not sure how I can help you with your issue. If you have PS Ultimate and you are following my instructions the program should do as I say it would. Can you be more specific?
Yes sir. I actually attempt to make texts and titles but it never registers or never even shows the text I write. I was wondering am I doing it wrong?
Does it not show the text in the Title Editor Window while you type it or after you click on OK at the bottom of the Title Editor does it not show it when you preview the video?
Which version of Pinnacle Studio do you have?
***** I have pinnacle 17. It doesn't show either way.
Sorry I meant Basic, Ultimate, or Plus.
If your text isn't showing up at all there is something wrong with the software.
Try resetting it and then tell me if it works.
Here are the instructions.

great lesson I am from brasil will help me I sure now come more professional with your lesson, love love love very much this lesson
Thanks for watching. Viva Brasil!!!
Viva yes
Thank you again for your help!!!!
I want to lock my time line to fix some voice over. I cannot find the button that you are telling me to use. I have Pinnacle 17. Where is that button? Plz help!!!!!
When did I tell you to use a lock button? What version of Pinnacle Studio 17 do you have?
In the how to copy and paste video, you clicked on an arrow button under the screen to set your time line settings. You had yours on over write mode which locks the other things in place. I do not have that arrow button. All I know is that I have Pinnacle studio 17.
You have the basic version. This feature is not available unless you have Plus or Ultimate.
Thanks for the help. I think it will be best if I upgrade to Pinnacle 20.
I love your work!
Thanks AVNewsCast
