This video was an amazing how to. Thank you for making it for everyone. PS my very first video editor was Pinnacle Studio 14 UL. For my 26th birthday my wife purchased Pinnacle Studio 20 UL for me. It is a new learning curve for me as for the longest time I was using Magix Movie Edit Pro 2015/2016 Plus until it started having issues on my computer. After that I moved on to Corel Video Studio X8. Now after a few years I am back to using Pinnacle Studio. Thank you again for your great video.
I just tried to export it to dvd instead of my hard drive, and the same thing happened. I'm beginning to wonder if my mother's laptop is not powerful enough to truly utilize this wonderful program. I love what it can do, but her laptop needs some upgrading. It stopped again at the same point. I've been waiting for almost 20 minutes. I think I'm going to return it, and puchase another program, of lesser quaiity, which sucks! When I get my own laptop, I'll make sure that the specs are appropriate for this program. I've always liked what Pinnacle has to offer! My very first program was by them 12 years ago. Thank you for your time, and efforts, in helping myself and others with your tutorials! Have a blessed day!
Great video and very informative! I had just purchased Pinnacle Studio 20 Plus and was attempting to learn how to use it. Pinnacle's Studio Backlot wasn't all that helpful. I've been using Wondershare's Filmora which works and is easy to use but is very limited in scope. I'd love to be able to learn and begin using Pinnacle 20!
thank you! Unfortunately I am new to Pinnacle and editing in general. I am really having a difficult time figuring this out and unfortunately I need to get this video ready for a collaboration I am doing. Do you know of any other resources I can use in the mean time? Any other info you may have would be so greatly appreciated. I am interested specifically with the skin touch up using Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate
You can visit studiobacklot.tv and see if there are any videos on the topic. It is a paid site but has a lot of content that you may find worth the subscription price.
Thanks so much ! your videos are so helpful ! It is very clear, and covers everything. I keep looking for your videos whenever a questions comes up, and I always get a good answer as well as learn many new things. Thanks a lot and keep on your great work !
Excellent video - very helpful. You covered the key basic elements very clearly and succinctly, and definitely helped get me launched using Pinnancle. Thank you very much! Keep up the great work!
Thanks 4 the tips. This will help me out so much because I didn't know how to get started editing with pinnacle studio 20. Thanks a lot because I know my subscribers are going to love my new editing abilities.
Hi my friend I have a big question I’m an owner of Pinacle Studio 20 and Pinacle Studio 21 in pinacle Estudio 24 I have it software on CDs But now don’t let me install because I m install many time What I can do for a reset ?? I’m a lose the purchaser record !
Hello Maleich,I have to say I have learned so much from you over the past couple of months. Respect. One thing I could do on the old Pinnacle 9 was to enlarge the footage image from that of a 4x3 to 16x9. Then I would have to use the sharpen tool as it the image became slightly soft. Can I do that on Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate? I don't quite know where to start.Kindest regards,Geoffrey Hall.
You can use 2D Editor advanced to enlarge the image. You will lose some of the image due to the aspect ratio. There should be a soften effect under the camera effects that you can use as well.
Hi Maliek, Great Videos. I've watched nearly all of them. I've been using Pinnacle 15 for couple of years and After watching your review video of Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate, I purchased it straight away. I have 1 technical difficulty which I was hoping you might be able to help. In my Pinnacle 15 version when adding an effect to a video, Previously I could just click on the top pink part of the clip and copy the effect and paste it to other clips as needed. I can't seem to do that in Pinnacle 20 Ultimate, Tried many times to click in different parts of the clip however I only get the option to copy the entire clip, not just the effects. Any Ideas how I can copy and paste just the effects from one clip to another? Thanks for all your great videos.
Thank you very much for all your videos. I have learned a lot from your videos. i have one question that is not related to Pinnacle. What software are you using to capture your monitor? Thank you,
Hey love your vids ! Really helped me ! I have a question : Is there ANY way to copy paste an effect (fx) on Pinnacle Studio 20? It was possible on 19 but since I switched to 20 the option seems to be gone forever. I hope you can help me thanks again !
After you apply an effect to a clip there should be a pink line at the top of a clip. Right click on that, then go to the fly out for effects until you get the option to copy the effect. Right click on another clip and you will have the option to paste the clip. Watch my Copy and Paste tutorial for specifics. If you apply a correction to a clip there will be a green line at the top of the clip. You can't copy and paste corrections.
took a minute for me to watch a full video of yours! Well, ahahaha, I'm hooked! [just hard to sit and listen] but you're very helpful! ~ thanks for teaching! We need what you do! Pinnacle can be verrrrrrrrrrrrrry trying! I'm have been using since 9.5 and just watching one whole intro to 20 Ultimate, I learned sooooooooooooooo much . . . is possilbe? Life is going to get a bit easier making vids with Pinnacle! ahahahha Bless You, Maliek! Stay Amazing!
Hey Maleik, I found the feature that would work for rig removal in stop motion animation films. It's called "Magic Fill". It's used to remove unwanted objects in a photo, and it's included in Paint Shop Pro X9, I was wondering if it's also included in Pinnacle Studio 20.5 Ultimate. Thanks.
Hi, Thanks for the many explaines. I learnt a lot from you. With a lot of respect and greeting from ITALY! I bought this program last night and unfortunately not function the transision, effect,montage tema.I hope issues to solve this problem why I bought the Ultimate version.
Hi Maliek, Question: I've notice during your instructional video when you were retrieving a video from your computer folder, that you have a "My Book" external hard drive. I have one as well and was wondering would you recommend that I download this program to the external drive? I figured it would be better then to tie up my computer space. Please tell me what you think & if it would cause any problems. Mike
Thank You Maliek. I have been going crazy trying to figure this out. With your tutorial I am learning slowly, but I see I should get better. I have the resolution set up, but when I click on navigation, it has no media library option. I have read instructions, but it appears you would have best qualifications to help me personally.I live in Portland Oregon, but may be willing to pay for help. Thank You, Sincerely, John Steele
Yes I did that, but the preview window does nothing. I have power director 15 which is real easy, but I got Pinnacle for the transparent titles, but it is very complicated. I can do a lot with a little and I make income as a producer, but this system is more complex than I ever imagined. Even so, you are the closest to understanding certain things. This is frustrating though.
Yes, I reset it, exactly according to the instructions, but the problem still exists. I wish there was someone like yourself, who could be here to see my screen. You probably are far away, and I am sure I am the ones doing something wrong. I appreciate very much the help you have done so far. Do you have any other suggestions?
Try asking for help on the PS Forum. There you can share files, screen shots, and more with the Pinnacle Studio moderators who have been fixing people issues with the software for years. They are waaaaay more qualified than I am and they have the tools to help you. You'll need to register for the forum before you can post your question/issue. forums.pinnaclesys.com/forums/242/ShowForum.aspx
Hi I film a lot of my boys hockey games. Of course being able to assemble ''the good plays'' of the game quickly would be an asset. Do you have a tutorial on how to prepare clips quickly for later use? or for making a ''highlight'' real of the game?
I have a question about thumbnails, is there a short easy way to create a thumbnail for a TH-cam video? I am new to this and i just bought Pinnacle 24 ultimate. I love your videos they are very informative! Thanks in advance.
At the 20.19 point of video, there is a tan line above the AV1. As you move clips around the tan line also changes. What does that Tan line signify? I have used Pinnacle 10 for years and with Windows 10 I went ahead and bought Pinnacle 20 Ultimate and am new to this version. Lot is different.
Hi Sir. I just bought Pinnacle Studio 20.5 Ultimate. I'm new to using this software. Could you make a tutorial on how to create a Lyric Video including the following: 1. Putting Beginning and End Markers on a segment of the audio file on the Timeline so that it would be easy to sync the lyrics/text to the audio. 2. How to make the Text snap to the Beginning and End Markers. 3. How to make use of the Audio Scrub feature to find the beginning and end of a segment of the audio file. 4. Keyboard Shortcuts for the Beginning and End Markers. Hope you could grant my request. Thank you very much.
As someone about to start using this for the first time ever (now that TH-cam is forcing people to as it's decided it can't be bothered supporting PC users any longer with its built in editor) I would have liked things explained to an even MORE basic level. For example, you mentioned briefly how you can mute the sound on a clip - but not whether that can be done for part of the clip or all of the clip, and exactly where to go to for either of these things.
That is done with a video clip I created using Adobe after Effects so I do not have a tutorial on how to make it. It is called a lower third. I have a tutorial on how to create on using photoshop and pinnacle. Search Pinnacle Lower third
Need a bit of advice. I'm looking for a lapel mike to be used with videos that will be taken with a variety of cameras, but all of them should have a mini jack input. They will be done outdoors, so no access to electrical outlets. I'm looking for something as inexpensive as possible and the camera will be no more than 15 feet from the subject. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any advice...
I want to thank you SOOO MUCH, for your tutorials here on TH-camRed! I'm usually not one who likes to look at manuals too often, so this video REALLY helped me out! I am having one problem, though. EXPORTING MY MOVIE PROJECT!!!!! Before I confirm that I'm having a problem, I watched this tutorial, and it looks like there was something I forgot to do. THE MARK IN AND OUT MARKERS! i'll let you know if I got it right! Many thanks, again!!! TODD
Hey the video was very helpful. I have pinnacle studio 20 but on my timeline I don't have the customize the toolbar option or the transparency or the audio ducking options. How can I get them on the toolbar so I can edit and adjust my videos and audios easily?
hi mialeik, first thanks for your tutorial,but i have a problem now, how can i bring back my preview window? I have my media window and timeline but the preview not :(.
I hope you read this. Your videos are great but I had a question. I can't find ANYWHERE how to take a short audio clip and loop it to the end of the video or as long as you want. I thought "Adjust Duration" would do it but it didn't, it extended the line but the music still stopped after it's normal length. If you get this please tell me how to loop a piece of music... Thanks so much in advance. I'm using Pinnnacle Studio 20
There is no easy way to do it. It is manual. Find the place in the clip that matches the start and place a copy of the clip at the end. Do this over and over until you have it as long as you need it.
Wow that's crazy, you'd think since that's a common thing to do, take a small music audio clip and loop it, they would have a function for it... Well thank you for the reply. While I have you, I also couldn't figure out how to make a clip go slow motion, and how to separate the audio from a video file. Is there a way to do those two things? Sorry to bug you but you are the expert. :-)
I have been a user, over the years, and have purchased all sorts of packages with various Hollywood Effects and other special tools. I am wondering if this new 20 version incorporates ALL of those into their newest version, or IF I STILL HAVE THEM, do I need to load those discs to use the features.? At the moment I am working on a 50th Wedding Anniversary Life Story video, (personal), and was curious ... some of those were very cool...anyone ????
Hello Maliek. I was wondering do you have or are you going to be doing a tutorials with Pinnacle and Hitfilm after effects. If not. Do you know where one might be able to obtain a glimpse of a tutorial with Pinnacle and Hitfilm? Your input is greatly appreciated.
Those programs do not work together. A person can create an effect using HitFilm or After Effects, render it, and import the clip to Pinnacle just like importing any other video clip. I would not make a tutorial on that. I do not think there are any tutorials on using the two programs.
I am trying to find it... not sure which video you made of it for pinnacle 20... but I want to put a video that sort of floats along a back ground like a title can in my videos... for example I plan to use clouds moving as my main background.. and have clips float across the background with titles included with those floating titles to act like examples of what I plan to show in my videos... any ideas? thanks.
Maleik - need some help! I just installed Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate, and there is no video in the source/timeline preview area. I can hear the audio just fine, but there is no video. Do you have a video of a fix for that? Already tried reinstalling the program on my computer (Windows 10).
A question to sir, I am new to this editing software I am creating a family history trip down memory lane phot dvd for my father who is turning 60, I get how to add photos music but can I get this software to zoom in to the picture and do that for all my pictures? Any help is appreciated
Hej Malik! I am seeing all your Tutorial vidoes, and they are all very good! ( I am not so good to writing in english, I am Danish, Hope you under stand this!)Ware are the keyframes in Pinnacle 20 Standard? I have them i Pinnacle 19 Ultimate.
hey Maleik haw are you, i have a question hope to get an answer from you soon. haw to edit same project on PC and when i am out i Edit it on my laptop. i am using Pinnacle studio 20. i tried but i have hard time relining all videos and yes i use same external hard drive.
I wonder if you can help me.. I just purchased P 20 U today since 4:00 I finally got it to install that took several hours. Now the programs open but closes immediately upon. the error read this program is closing. What can I do? Ive contacted Support with Pinnacle, they sent me a ticket but no calls or anything else.
I bet something went wrong with the installation. I'm no expert on software installation so I can't help you there. I guess since it just happened today you should probably wait a few days for a reply. That's what I would do. Patience is a virtue. :-) In the mean time, you can try to reset the program while you wait for the reply from Pinnacle Support. Since the program won't open you want to use the instructions at the bottom of this page for manually resetting the program. www.pinnaclestudio.info/studio_20.html If it doesn't work just wait for the reply from support.
Hey Maleik, I have learned a lot from your videos. Im am an old guy and this stuff is challenging, but you make it easy. I have a tech question and Pinnacle tech support is horrible. Im in timeline mode in the preview window. I hit the play button and the preview window does not play. How do I fix this?
Can you draw on clips like you do in these videos? Like arrows and stuff you draw on pinnacle studio 20? If not what program are you using to make these videos ?
I have pinnacle 20 and maybe you can help. The title is not working for me. When I press T the title screen opens but the text form is behind the picture instead over the picture so I can't see it. I use the icon to bring forward and back and that is not working. what am I doing wrong. Thanks
Hello, Thanks for the video's. I added a title and music track , how can I get them to play at the same time? At the moment the music is silent when played above/over the title track. God bless m
good video, but I am not happy with pinnacle studio, I got my studio 19 not long ago and you guys came up with studio 20? I have been costumer since studio 7.
Malek, I'm trying to view DJI Mavic and Go pro Hero 5 video but it does not show up, i CAN"T PLAY in my preview window. What am i MISSING? Do I need to do some kind of conversion?
Mayday Mayday...I am trying to convert VHS to DVD and i can't see any of the videos on the right side pane playback viewer just a white screen. All the clips are on the left pane side. I could hear the audio but can not view the videos.I used the Pinnacle System "Movie Box Deluxe" hardware and "Pinnacle Studio Ultimate" software to capture all.What preference did I miss or setup not to view my clips.
Sorry but I don't have any tips on that. Try asking on my Facebook Group. Lots os user there use Windows 10 and if they have had any issues they might have some tips for you. You should be specific about what issues you're having so they can address your particular issue. facebook.com/groups/1011713315625712/
Very good work, thank You ;) I have one question / problem. Why when I will add / I will remove the video clip on one video path, other paths (video, audio, text ) aren't synchronizing themselves, the way was in older versions? Please help...
Thank you. Not sure what you are asking. If you are wondering why the files are or are not moving on the timeline you need to change your timeline mode to the one that you prefer. I show how to do that in this video.
Yes, You have right. There are 3 option, but any worked as I wish. Do you remember Pinnnacle 12, there was ones the best version. Every track on timeline synhronized (on right side) then You add or deleted part of clip. Thank you for answer :-)
Hi there, I like how you really take the time too explain the steps in your tutorial. I have a few questions for you, How do you separate the audio from video track, maybe I might want to add another audio track, 2 can is this pinnacle better than Magix movie edit pro premium 2016 version? 3 if so how is it better? I will highly appreciate your reply
my preview window acknowledges the video I choose from the Project bin, it runs but not able to see the actual video/ format is mp4 on the file. What am I doing wrong? same on time line. it shows clips but it does not show actual video when time line scrubbed?
I have downloaded the patch and it has not helped. When I attempt to run the DX file, I get errors. Nothing I have done has fixed the problem. Can Corel send me an updated zipped version of the program? I am not into deleting and replacing files as there are too many things that can go wrong.
I am a little lost once you select the mark in and mark out clips you want how do you save them? Add music or effects save it, make a complete video to export?
I don't use the iPad version. You should ask on one of the videos made by Luma Touch who created the Pinnacle Studio app and the Pinnacle Studio Pro app (after I created my TH-cam channel I might add). :-)
Hi, Thank you for this video! Question... I am installing this software to my older laptop and will be getting a new all-in-one computer... Can this software be downloaded again on another computer if I buy the CD downloadable version instead of the online download??? Please let me know what I can do with this! thanks, Alexandra
i love your tutorials!! a couple of questions for you" when i add my video on timeline at bottom why does it stretch so long? and why do my voice sound then go away?
Hello Maliek, my question isn't about this video presentation. It is simple. What program are you using when you are drawing lines to point to a button or to circle a part you are talking about? You frequently draw an arrow pointing to the tool you tell us to use. Well how do you draw the arrow? OK, time for my cappuccino.
Thank you, this was very useful! One question though - would you happen to know how to add a time code? I can't find it anywhere and other tutorials all seem outdated.
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm looking for it in the Montage tab right now, but my only options are Opening, Segues and Ending (I'm using PS20 Ultimate). Is the time code folder within the Montage tab something that needs to be additionally downloaded or am I just missing it somewhere...?
That is called a lower third. I created it using Adobe After Effects. I create it as a .MOV file and import it into Pinnacle with the rest of my clips when I edit and make my videos.
Thanks for explanation. I have one question: let's say I have 10 min lenght video in source. And I need to use only 5 seconds. Is there any way to select in source window, that I need only 5 seconds and to drag only those? It's a bit weird to drag full 10 minutes clip and then try to cut it (till now I'm dealing with it in this way) :)
Use trim mode or mark in and mark out buttons to select the part of the clip you want and use the send to timeline button to send the section of the clip you want to the timeline.
Hi Maliek, Nice tutorials - always so informative. Can you perhaps let me know how to do a countdown timer in our video's - Counting down 15 minutes? It would really be useful. I am still using Pinnacle Studio17 Ultimate edition!
In the ultimate version of the software under NewBlue FX Video Essentials IV there are several clocks that "count" you can place in the lower corner of your video.
Thank you Maliek! Great! Are they Available in studio 17 ultimate? For the meantime I found a 30min simple downcounter clip that I can overlay on my video.
Fantastic Maleik! been a fan for a long time and love your tutorials. I now have Pinnacle 20 Ultimate so can you do a tutorial on Revolving Text in 20. you truly are a master. Kindest regards Keith Rayner
Hi Maliek, Many versions ago of Pinnacle Studio (version 14, I believe) I was able to reproduce the spinning newspaper headline that zooms onto the screen to finally display "Superman saves Daily Planet reporter", or whatever. I have tried to do something like that using PS 20 Ultimate using Effects Editor/2D-3D editor/2D Editor Advanced, but without success. Can you make a tutorial of this, or similar? Keep up the good work, Clive.

Hello Maleik, thanks for the tutorials. I'm new to Pinnacle. I have Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate. I have set up my video standard. I also imported some clips to my media window however they aren't showing in my preview window. How do I get them to show there? Thanks for your time.
PinnacleStudioPro when I import the clips they don't go to my preview window. When I click on the clips it will seem as if they are in there but there isn't a picture.
Make sure you have the latest patch installed (pinnacle support site), make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card, make sure you have the latest version of direct x installed on your system.
oh I need help! I'm used to Studio 12 and recently updated to 20 and have been trying to learn it. Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials and your sense of humor that goes into all of them. I have to make a memorial dvd today and I know how to make it loop on Studio 12 but not 20 Ultimate. It needs to auto repeat so that it can be watched whenever -- could you please let me know how to do that and if there is anything different from 12 about making a title. I also ran into a glitch on trying to make a menu... I can't find how to get my .jpgs onto the buttons. Can't drag and drop and there is no place I can find to select a picture to put in the buttons even tho' there's the number there showing that it should take a picture.... this is not nearly as important as how to make a loop and put a title on the memorial DVD. Have to do that today, yikes! I was told someone else was making the dvd but that wasn't true.
When you select a button make sure you go to the buttons tab at the top and you should be able to modify it there. I have a tutorial on how to make a looping DVD, it should work for PS 16 thru 20. th-cam.com/video/CegBmVLu-K0/w-d-xo.html
Hi there Pinnacle guru. I have got a question again, can I cut a clip before I will put it in the timeline? or always have tu put the entire clip for example 4min. in the timeline and then search for interesting parts and cut... big thanks
You can trim it from the preview window before placing it in the timeline but if you do it will permanently change the clip in the library and you will not be able to access the rest of the clip. 6:13
Great stuff Maliek! I have Studio Ultimate 20 and am facing problem with export in MP4. The export process stopped a half way because: "the export process has experienced problem with time line and has been canceled (0xE1000005) 35236/40334@00:19:35:21". Any idea how to solve this abrakadabra?
Yes. I did. I deleted a transition in-between. The problem remains. I'd like to try now prior export to render the whole movie. There is such option in the Advanced export
Well...Looks never ending story. I rendered the whole movie in export (export - advanced - in Pre-processing I revised from automatic to render completely prior export). Afterwards ther was no problem with export but a half of my transitions is gone (just black instead of) and a lot of effects (picture-in-picture, etc) as well. But the question remains- please what to do?
Hello papas efrem. I've got a reply from Malik. Herewith I'm copying and pasting his reply: "Find the clip, effect, transition, etc. at 19:35:21 on your timeline and correct or remove it." I did it; I cleaned up and removed the transitions and effects in this "problem zone". It didn't help. I kept on trying to export in different extensions. Finally I managed to do this in AVI. Of course the quality was poorer than in mp4. But better this than nothing!
Hi Maleik, thanks and well done for these videos. I just purchased the Pinnacle Studio 20.5 Ultimate. am trying to find how to manually enhance color, sharpness, gamma etc . I got lost in all the info online but couldn't find anything about this. Would appreciate your help. Thanks once again
Hi! I'm making a video with pinnacle studio 20 ultimate and imported some nice pictures but after importing them on my new pinnacle video editor the pictures have lines and look pretty bad in the video. Can I do anything to fix that problem? Also, when I use the "Cross Dissolve" Transition it sometimes won't work and I have to use the "Fade in or out" Transition. Is there anything I can do about that?
Thanks for the videos. I went from 15 to 20 and I can't figure out how to subdivide scenes in version 20. In 15 it was just right click the video thumbnail and select subdivide. Is there a video that shows how to subdivide scenes in version 20? Thank you.
Grandmother in Norway thank you for useful information. I have earlier use Pinnacle Studio 15. (much easier ….). Great transition to Pinnacle Studio ultimate 20… How to get added a diskmeny on the time line (and my own text)? By dragging/dropping it goes only to preview. It was also in the 15 possible to retrieve music direct from a cd. Is it possible in 20?
Yes you can import music from a CD using the import tab. Once it is on Pinnacle if it doesn't play try converting it to a .wav file and then see if it will play. Watch my DVD menu tutorial for help in using the menus.
Thank you very much reply, and again thank you for very good information. For example, whith the titles I can drag/drop to timeline and double-clic for editing . This does not go with diskmeny. It will not “snap”to the timeline. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry! I found it now. Had to use the “creat DVD” button. Now it runs much better. Olso a big difference from version 15. Thank you very much again for the nice tutorials. (Import music from the cd works great now…)
There is a lock all the way to the left of every timeline track. Click on the lock and you will not be able to edit or move anything on that track. Also, you can change your timeline mode to one of the three options until you find one that works best for you. Some of the options move things around when you edit and others keep everything in the same place. The timeline mode is all the way to the right under the preview window.
Hey Maleik. Need some help. If i have several tracks of little clips, is there a way i can edit and change brightness, contrast and saturation after i highlight all the clips? Everytime i try it only does one clip. thanks
Hi Maliek, Thank you for all the tutorials, I've learned a lot using your videos, appreciated. Recently updated to 20 Ultimate and can´t get Pinnacle to connect to my analog VCR. When selecting "Import" all the import options are there, exept for "Device" it says "No device found". I'm using EasyCap and if I use the editing sofware that came with EasyCap (Uleas VideoStudio) then everything works normal and I get full signal both audio and Video. Obviously I prefer to use Pinnacle. Can you assist me? Best regards, Sigurdur
Pinnacle Dazzle worked for me in the past but I haven't used it in a while. I suggest you do some research online to see what would be the best capture device to use with Pinnacle.
Thanks Maleik for your down to earth, no BS approach to explaning the details. You are truly and gifted teacher!
Thanks for the kind words +Drexel Williams
This video was an amazing how to. Thank you for making it for everyone. PS my very first video editor was Pinnacle Studio 14 UL. For my 26th birthday my wife purchased Pinnacle Studio 20 UL for me. It is a new learning curve for me as for the longest time I was using Magix Movie Edit Pro 2015/2016 Plus until it started having issues on my computer. After that I moved on to Corel Video Studio X8. Now after a few years I am back to using Pinnacle Studio. Thank you again for your great video.
I just tried to export it to dvd instead of my hard drive, and the same thing happened. I'm beginning to wonder if my mother's laptop is not powerful enough to truly utilize this wonderful program. I love what it can do, but her laptop needs some upgrading. It stopped again at the same point. I've been waiting for almost 20 minutes. I think I'm going to return it, and puchase another program, of lesser quaiity, which sucks! When I get my own laptop, I'll make sure that the specs are appropriate for this program. I've always liked what Pinnacle has to offer! My very first program was by them 12 years ago. Thank you for your time, and efforts, in helping myself and others with your tutorials! Have a blessed day!
Great video and very informative! I had just purchased Pinnacle Studio 20 Plus and was attempting to learn how to use it. Pinnacle's Studio Backlot wasn't all that helpful. I've been using Wondershare's Filmora which works and is easy to use but is very limited in scope. I'd love to be able to learn and begin using Pinnacle 20!
Hey Maleik, I'm new to video editing and to Pinnacle and have your tutorials killer! Many thanks.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
can you make a tutorial on how to use the NewBlue Essentials IV skin smoothing and retouch effect on pinnacle
I will add it to my request list.
thank you! Unfortunately I am new to Pinnacle and editing in general. I am really having a difficult time figuring this out and unfortunately I need to get this video ready for a collaboration I am doing. Do you know of any other resources I can use in the mean time? Any other info you may have would be so greatly appreciated. I am interested specifically with the skin touch up using Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate
You can visit studiobacklot.tv and see if there are any videos on the topic. It is a paid site but has a lot of content that you may find worth the subscription price.
Thanks so much ! your videos are so helpful !
It is very clear, and covers everything.
I keep looking for your videos whenever a questions comes up, and I always get a good answer as well as learn many new things.
Thanks a lot and keep on your great work !
Just updated from Pinnacle 15, this tutorial has set me on the right road...........Thanks keep up the great work
You're welcome. :-)
Excellent video - very helpful. You covered the key basic elements very clearly and succinctly, and definitely helped get me launched using Pinnancle. Thank you very much! Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
Thanks 4 the tips. This will help me out so much because I didn't know how to get started editing with pinnacle studio 20. Thanks a lot because I know my subscribers are going to love my new editing abilities.
You're welcome.
Thank you! can't believe I've used Studio since Version 9 and not seen this site before - brilliant support - thank you - Regards

Hi my friend I have a big question
I’m an owner of Pinacle Studio 20 and Pinacle Studio 21 in pinacle Estudio 24
I have it software on CDs
But now don’t let me install
because I m install many time
What I can do for a reset ??
I’m a lose the purchaser record !
Hello Maleich,I have to say I have learned so much from you over the past couple of months. Respect. One thing I could do on the old Pinnacle 9 was to enlarge the footage image from that of a 4x3 to 16x9. Then I would have to use the sharpen tool as it the image became slightly soft. Can I do that on Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate? I don't quite know where to start.Kindest regards,Geoffrey Hall.
You can use 2D Editor advanced to enlarge the image. You will lose some of the image due to the aspect ratio. There should be a soften effect under the camera effects that you can use as well.
Can you please do a tut for color adjustment. Namely, poorly shot blown out video? Thanks for all the great videos.
Hi Maliek, Great Videos. I've watched nearly all of them. I've been using Pinnacle 15 for couple of years and After watching your review video of Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate, I purchased it straight away.
I have 1 technical difficulty which I was hoping you might be able to help. In my Pinnacle 15 version when adding an effect to a video, Previously I could just click on the top pink part of the clip and copy the effect and paste it to other clips as needed.
I can't seem to do that in Pinnacle 20 Ultimate, Tried many times to click in different parts of the clip however I only get the option to copy the entire clip, not just the effects. Any Ideas how I can copy and paste just the effects from one clip to another?
Thanks for all your great videos.
Thank you Maleik you are a great help. Great work. will be in touch with you as i grow in pinnacle environment. thanks once again
You're welcome. 😃
your straightforward approach is great..very helpful video
Thank you very much for all your videos. I have learned a lot from your videos. i have one question that is not related to Pinnacle. What software are you using to capture your monitor? Thank you,
Good job, I had forgotten about some of the key shortcuts! Have a note of them now though... Many thanks.
You're welcome. :-) I love using shortcuts.
Thanks for the tutorial. Great refresher as \i haven't used it in a log time.
Hey love your vids ! Really helped me ! I have a question : Is there ANY way to copy paste an effect (fx) on Pinnacle Studio 20? It was possible on 19 but since I switched to 20 the option seems to be gone forever. I hope you can help me thanks again !
After you apply an effect to a clip there should be a pink line at the top of a clip. Right click on that, then go to the fly out for effects until you get the option to copy the effect. Right click on another clip and you will have the option to paste the clip. Watch my Copy and Paste tutorial for specifics.
If you apply a correction to a clip there will be a green line at the top of the clip. You can't copy and paste corrections.
Thanks a lot ! I was trying to copy paste corrections .
took a minute for me to watch a full video of yours! Well, ahahaha, I'm hooked! [just hard to sit and listen] but you're very helpful! ~ thanks for teaching! We need what you do! Pinnacle can be verrrrrrrrrrrrrry trying! I'm have been using since 9.5 and just watching one whole intro to 20 Ultimate, I learned sooooooooooooooo much . . . is possilbe? Life is going to get a bit easier making vids with Pinnacle! ahahahha Bless You, Maliek! Stay Amazing!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad it was worth it.
wHEN YOU have time, I about to upgrade my Studio 17, should I uninstall then add 20 Ultimate to save ram space?
Hey Maleik, I found the feature that would work for rig removal in stop motion animation films. It's called "Magic Fill". It's used to remove unwanted objects in a photo, and it's included in Paint Shop Pro X9, I was wondering if it's also included in Pinnacle Studio 20.5 Ultimate. Thanks.
Hi, Thanks for the many explaines. I learnt a lot from you. With a lot of respect and greeting from ITALY! I bought this program last night and unfortunately not function the transision, effect,montage tema.I hope issues to solve this problem why I bought the Ultimate version.
You need to contact support to fix those issues. Good luck.
Hi Maliek,
Question: I've notice during your instructional video when you were retrieving a video from your computer folder, that
you have a "My Book" external hard drive. I have one as well and was wondering would you recommend that I download this program to the external drive? I figured it would be better then to tie up my computer space. Please tell me what you think & if it would cause any problems.
Mike
Thank You Maliek. I have been going crazy trying to figure this out. With your tutorial I am learning slowly, but I see I should get better. I have the resolution set up, but when I click on navigation, it has no media library option. I have read instructions, but it appears you would have best qualifications to help me personally.I live in Portland Oregon, but may be willing to pay for help. Thank You, Sincerely, John Steele
In Control panel do you have Watch Folders enabled?
Yes I did that, but the preview window does nothing. I have power director 15 which is real easy, but I got Pinnacle for the transparent titles, but it is very complicated. I can do a lot with a little and I make income as a producer, but this system is more complex than I ever imagined. Even so, you are the closest to understanding certain things. This is frustrating though.
Try resetting the software by following the manual reset instructions on the bottom of this page. www.pinnaclestudio.info/studio_20.html
Yes, I reset it, exactly according to the instructions, but the problem still exists. I wish there was someone like yourself, who could be here to see my screen. You probably are far away, and I am sure I am the ones doing something wrong. I appreciate very much the help you have done so far. Do you have any other suggestions?
Try asking for help on the PS Forum. There you can share files, screen shots, and more with the Pinnacle Studio moderators who have been fixing people issues with the software for years. They are waaaaay more qualified than I am and they have the tools to help you. You'll need to register for the forum before you can post your question/issue. forums.pinnaclesys.com/forums/242/ShowForum.aspx
Great video. I just watched it for the second time and took notes this time.
Hi
I film a lot of my boys hockey games. Of course being able to assemble ''the good plays'' of the game quickly would be an asset. Do you have a tutorial on how to prepare clips quickly for later use? or for making a ''highlight'' real of the game?
No I don't have anything like that. The process for finding clips to include in a video like that takes time. :-(
I have a question about thumbnails, is there a short easy way to create a thumbnail for a TH-cam video? I am new to this and i just bought Pinnacle 24 ultimate. I love your videos they are very informative! Thanks in advance.
At the 20.19 point of video, there is a tan line above the AV1. As you move clips around the tan line also changes. What does that Tan line signify? I have used Pinnacle 10 for years and with Windows 10 I went ahead and bought Pinnacle 20 Ultimate and am new to this version. Lot is different.
Maleik, question do you use pinnacle to record you training videos or do you use something like camtasia? Love your video!
Very good tutorial on basics for all video editing cats!
Thanks.
Great video Maleik! Just got a Pinnacle 20 and want to add NEAT VIDEO! Do you have any videos on working NEAT VIDEO ? Keep up the great work!
Hi Sir. I just bought Pinnacle Studio 20.5 Ultimate. I'm new to using this software. Could you make a tutorial on how to create a Lyric Video including the following: 1. Putting Beginning and End Markers on a segment of the audio file on the Timeline so that it would be easy to sync the lyrics/text to the audio. 2. How to make the Text snap to the Beginning and End Markers. 3. How to make use of the Audio Scrub feature to find the beginning and end of a segment of the audio file. 4. Keyboard Shortcuts for the Beginning and End Markers. Hope you could grant my request. Thank you very much.
As someone about to start using this for the first time ever (now that TH-cam is forcing people to as it's decided it can't be bothered supporting PC users any longer with its built in editor) I would have liked things explained to an even MORE basic level. For example, you mentioned briefly how you can mute the sound on a clip - but not whether that can be done for part of the clip or all of the clip, and exactly where to go to for either of these things.
I see how neat you present your name down in the lower left. Do you have a tutorial on how to do that?
That is done with a video clip I created using Adobe after Effects so I do not have a tutorial on how to make it. It is called a lower third. I have a tutorial on how to create on using photoshop and pinnacle. Search Pinnacle Lower third
Need a bit of advice. I'm looking for a lapel mike to be used with videos that will be taken with a variety of cameras, but all of them should have a mini jack input. They will be done outdoors, so no access to electrical outlets. I'm looking for something as inexpensive as possible and the camera will be no more than 15 feet from the subject. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any advice...
Thanks for the refresh of the basics it was really useful !
You're welcome. :-)
I want to thank you SOOO MUCH, for your tutorials here on TH-camRed! I'm usually not one who likes to look at manuals too often, so this video REALLY helped me out! I am having one problem, though. EXPORTING MY MOVIE PROJECT!!!!! Before I confirm that I'm having a problem, I watched this tutorial, and it looks like there was something I forgot to do. THE MARK IN AND OUT MARKERS! i'll let you know if I got it right! Many thanks, again!!! TODD
Thanks for watching!
My 3D titler is not working. Can you help me? Another thing, can i use this program for commercial purposes?
Hey the video was very helpful. I have pinnacle studio 20 but on my timeline I don't have the customize the toolbar option or the transparency or the audio ducking options. How can I get them on the toolbar so I can edit and adjust my videos and audios easily?
This video is for Pinnacle Studio Ultimate, if you have Basic or Plus you may not have some of the features shown in this video.
hi mialeik, first thanks for your tutorial,but i have a problem now, how can i bring back my preview window? I have my media window and timeline but the preview not :(.
I hope you read this. Your videos are great but I had a question. I can't find ANYWHERE how to take a short audio clip and loop it to the end of the video or as long as you want. I thought "Adjust Duration" would do it but it didn't, it extended the line but the music still stopped after it's normal length. If you get this please tell me how to loop a piece of music... Thanks so much in advance. I'm using Pinnnacle Studio 20
There is no easy way to do it. It is manual. Find the place in the clip that matches the start and place a copy of the clip at the end. Do this over and over until you have it as long as you need it.
Wow that's crazy, you'd think since that's a common thing to do, take a small music audio clip and loop it, they would have a function for it... Well thank you for the reply. While I have you, I also couldn't figure out how to make a clip go slow motion, and how to separate the audio from a video file. Is there a way to do those two things? Sorry to bug you but you are the expert. :-)
Right click the clip and select detach audio.
Right click the clip and select speed
Thank u :-)
Thanks, please am a new person here.Where is standard,outline and bevealed in look library
I have been a user, over the years, and have purchased all sorts of packages with various Hollywood Effects and other special tools. I am wondering if this new 20 version incorporates ALL of those into their newest version, or IF I STILL HAVE THEM, do I need to load those discs to use the features.? At the moment I am working on a 50th Wedding Anniversary Life Story video, (personal), and was curious ... some of those were very cool...anyone ????
Hello Maliek. I was wondering do you have or are you going to be doing a tutorials with Pinnacle and Hitfilm after effects. If not. Do you know where one might be able to obtain a glimpse of a tutorial with Pinnacle and Hitfilm? Your input is greatly appreciated.
Those programs do not work together. A person can create an effect using HitFilm or After Effects, render it, and import the clip to Pinnacle just like importing any other video clip. I would not make a tutorial on that. I do not think there are any tutorials on using the two programs.
PinnacleStudioPro thanks Maliek.
Awesome. this helped me. If I saw this before I bought it. I would glad to click your link. Anyway learned alot from this.
Always happy to help. Whenever a new version comes out and you want to buy it you can use my link then. :-) Thanks for watching.
I am trying to find it... not sure which video you made of it for pinnacle 20... but I want to put a video that sort of floats along a back ground like a title can in my videos... for example I plan to use clouds moving as my main background.. and have clips float across the background with titles included with those floating titles to act like examples of what I plan to show in my videos... any ideas? thanks.
Maleik - need some help! I just installed Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate, and there is no video in the source/timeline preview area. I can hear the audio just fine, but there is no video. Do you have a video of a fix for that? Already tried reinstalling the program on my computer (Windows 10).
Have you downloaded the correct version of DirectX?
support.corel.com/hc/en-us/articles/217999617-No-Preview-In-Pinnacle-Studio-19
PinnacleStudioPro I have now! Thank you!!!
Impressed by your page BTW. My page is still in it's infancy and yours is one to look up to!
A question to sir, I am new to this editing software I am creating a family history trip down memory lane phot dvd for my father who is turning 60, I get how to add photos music but can I get this software to zoom in to the picture and do that for all my pictures? Any help is appreciated
Hej Malik! I am seeing all your Tutorial vidoes, and they are all very good! ( I am not so good to writing in english, I am Danish, Hope you under stand this!)Ware are the keyframes in Pinnacle 20 Standard? I have them i Pinnacle 19 Ultimate.
hey Maleik haw are you, i have a question hope to get an answer from you soon.
haw to edit same project on PC and when i am out i Edit it on my laptop. i am using Pinnacle studio 20.
i tried but i have hard time relining all videos and yes i use same external hard drive.
I wonder if you can help me.. I just purchased P 20 U today since 4:00 I finally got it to install that took several hours. Now the programs open but closes immediately upon. the error read this program is closing. What can I do? Ive contacted Support with Pinnacle, they sent me a ticket but no calls or anything else.
I bet something went wrong with the installation. I'm no expert on software installation so I can't help you there. I guess since it just happened today you should probably wait a few days for a reply. That's what I would do. Patience is a virtue. :-)
In the mean time, you can try to reset the program while you wait for the reply from Pinnacle Support. Since the program won't open you want to use the instructions at the bottom of this page for manually resetting the program. www.pinnaclestudio.info/studio_20.html
If it doesn't work just wait for the reply from support.
Hey Maleik, I have learned a lot from your videos. Im am an old guy and this stuff is challenging, but you make it easy. I have a tech question and Pinnacle tech support is horrible. Im in timeline mode in the preview window. I hit the play button and the preview window does not play. How do I fix this?
Can you draw on clips like you do in these videos? Like arrows and stuff you draw on pinnacle studio 20? If not what program are you using to make these videos ?
I have pinnacle 20 and maybe you can help. The title is not working for me. When I press T the title screen opens but the text form is behind the picture instead over the picture so I can't see it. I use the icon to bring forward and back and that is not working. what am I doing wrong. Thanks
Hello,
Thanks for the video's.
I added a title and music track , how can I get them to play at the same time?
At the moment the music is silent when played above/over the title track.
God bless
m
Check the audio selection on the left of the track. All audio should play as long as the box is checked.
good video, but I am not happy with pinnacle studio, I got my studio 19 not long ago and you guys came up with studio 20? I have been costumer since studio 7.
Malek, I'm trying to view DJI Mavic and Go pro Hero 5 video but it does not show up, i CAN"T PLAY in my preview window. What am i MISSING? Do I need to do some kind of conversion?
Mayday Mayday...I am trying to convert VHS to DVD and i can't see any of the videos on the right side pane playback viewer just a white screen. All the clips are on the left pane side. I could hear the audio but can not view the videos.I used the Pinnacle System "Movie Box Deluxe" hardware and "Pinnacle Studio Ultimate" software to capture all.What preference did I miss or setup not to view my clips.
Great. I'm saving up for it, and I will buy it through your link. :) Just curious. Why do you prefer 24p as opposed to 30p?
Thanks randy. I prefer 24p because it creates more of a film look.
Maliek, what is the highest resolution snapshot that can be pulled from a video?
Should be the same resolution of your timeline settings as long as the video clip is the same resolution or higher.
Any issues, tips, information we need to know about Pinnacle 20, loading and working properly on Windows 10?
Sorry but I don't have any tips on that. Try asking on my Facebook Group. Lots os user there use Windows 10 and if they have had any issues they might have some tips for you. You should be specific about what issues you're having so they can address your particular issue. facebook.com/groups/1011713315625712/
Very good work, thank You ;) I have one question / problem. Why when I will add / I will remove the video clip on one video path, other paths (video, audio, text ) aren't synchronizing themselves, the way was in older versions? Please help...
Thank you. Not sure what you are asking. If you are wondering why the files are or are not moving on the timeline you need to change your timeline mode to the one that you prefer. I show how to do that in this video.
Yes, You have right. There are 3 option, but any worked as I wish. Do you remember Pinnnacle 12, there was ones the best version. Every track on timeline synhronized (on right side) then You add or deleted part of clip. Thank you for answer :-)
Hi there, I like how you really take the time too explain the steps in your tutorial. I have a few questions for you, How do you separate the audio from video track, maybe I might want to add another audio track, 2 can is this pinnacle better than Magix movie edit pro premium 2016 version? 3 if so how is it better? I will highly appreciate your reply
Thanks.
Right click on the clip while it is in the timeline and select Detach Audio.
I do not have an opinion on Magix as I have not used it.
my preview window acknowledges the video I choose from the Project bin, it runs but not able to see the actual video/ format is mp4 on the file. What am I doing wrong? same on time line. it shows clips but it does not show actual video when time line scrubbed?
I like your easy to follow videos. I am having a problem with my preview window showing video clips. I can see audio, but no video. Any ideas?
Following the steps here will fix the issue. support.corel.com/hc/en-us/articles/217999617-No-Preview-In-Pinnacle-Studio-19
I have downloaded the patch and it has not helped. When I attempt to run the DX file, I get errors. Nothing I have done has fixed the problem. Can Corel send me an updated zipped version of the program? I am not into deleting and replacing files as there are too many things that can go wrong.
I don't know. I do not work for Corel. You have to ask them. Go to their support site and get help from there.
They provided that same fix... didn't work. Thanks anyway. Going back to Wondershare Filmora!
Thank you very much Drexel Williams because of you I am able to make good videos today
Always very high quality work.
I am a little lost once you select the mark in and mark out clips you want how do you save them? Add music or effects save it, make a complete video to export?
You do not need to save anything. Just export the video. You can save your project if you want to save the clips, effects, and marks.
Hi, is there any way to add filters or color corrections in the ipad version? Greetings from Germany, thumbs up!
I don't use the iPad version. You should ask on one of the videos made by Luma Touch who created the Pinnacle Studio app and the Pinnacle Studio Pro app (after I created my TH-cam channel I might add). :-)
Hi,
Thank you for this video! Question...
I am installing this software to my older laptop and will be getting a new all-in-one computer... Can this software be downloaded again on another computer if I buy the CD downloadable version instead of the online download???
Please let me know what I can do with this!
thanks,
Alexandra
Yes it can.
Just purchased 20 and wanted to know if there is a way to show all frames, not just clip blocks to have a tighter edit.
Stretch out your timeline and you can see every frame. I show how to do it in this video.
i love your tutorials!! a couple of questions for you" when i add my video on timeline at bottom why does it stretch so long? and why do my voice sound then go away?
Hello Maliek, my question isn't about this video presentation. It is simple. What program are you using when you are drawing lines to point to a button or to circle a part you are talking about? You frequently draw an arrow pointing to the tool you tell us to use. Well how do you draw the arrow? OK, time for my cappuccino.
That is my screen capture program. It is called Camtasia.
Thank you, this was very useful! One question though - would you happen to know how to add a time code? I can't find it anywhere and other tutorials all seem outdated.
The only option for time code that I know of is the Montage.
forums.pinnaclesys.com/forums/thread/706533.aspx
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm looking for it in the Montage tab right now, but my only options are Opening, Segues and Ending (I'm using PS20 Ultimate). Is the time code folder within the Montage tab something that needs to be additionally downloaded or am I just missing it somewhere...?
You can download Montages from sites like 20cents-video.com.
You should ask on the Pinnacle Studio forum thread where they got the montage from.
I see, so it's kind of like an add-on.That makes sense. Thank you!
I just Installed my Pinnacle 20 version. IT won't show the preview video. What do I do?
can you use this program to make reaction videos for you tube ?
On a scale of 1-10, would you consider this software as extremely easy to use (1) or extremely difficult to learn (10)?
Thanks. Good video.
Thanks Maleik ...very helpful, could u pls explain how to make the animated globe effect on ur name ... thanks in advance.
That is called a lower third. I created it using Adobe After Effects. I create it as a .MOV file and import it into Pinnacle with the rest of my clips when I edit and make my videos.
Thanks for explanation. I have one question: let's say I have 10 min lenght video in source. And I need to use only 5 seconds. Is there any way to select in source window, that I need only 5 seconds and to drag only those? It's a bit weird to drag full 10 minutes clip and then try to cut it (till now I'm dealing with it in this way) :)
Use trim mode or mark in and mark out buttons to select the part of the clip you want and use the send to timeline button to send the section of the clip you want to the timeline.
Hi Maliek, Nice tutorials - always so informative. Can you perhaps let me know how to do a countdown timer in our video's - Counting down 15 minutes? It would really be useful. I am still using Pinnacle Studio17 Ultimate edition!
In the ultimate version of the software under NewBlue FX Video Essentials IV there are several clocks that "count" you can place in the lower corner of your video.
Thank you Maliek! Great! Are they Available in studio 17 ultimate? For the meantime I found a 30min simple downcounter clip that I can overlay on my video.
I do not know. You'd have to check.
When I insert the video at the timeline, it dose not showing at the review player. Only sound . Can you help me solve it. Thank you
Fantastic Maleik! been a fan for a long time and love your tutorials. I now have Pinnacle 20 Ultimate so can you do a tutorial on Revolving Text in 20. you truly are a master.
Kindest regards
Keith Rayner
Thanks. Just so you know my last text tutorial for 3D text will work the same way in PS20.
Hi Maliek,
Many versions ago of Pinnacle Studio (version 14, I believe) I was able to reproduce the spinning newspaper headline that zooms onto the screen to finally display "Superman saves Daily Planet reporter", or whatever. I have tried to do something like that using PS 20 Ultimate using Effects Editor/2D-3D editor/2D Editor Advanced, but without success. Can you make a tutorial of this, or similar?
Keep up the good work,
Clive.
I have a spinning newspaper tutorial. You can use it for PS 20.
If you had pinnacle studio HD 15, could you upload two finished videos on these programs and simply string them together to upload to youtube?
You can bring two videos in PS 15 and create one video.

Hello Maleik, thanks for the tutorials. I'm new to Pinnacle. I have Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate. I have set up my video standard. I also imported some clips to my media window however they aren't showing in my preview window. How do I get them to show there? Thanks for your time.
Are you trying to view them from the timeline or from the preview window? What are you doing to try to view them?
PinnacleStudioPro when I import the clips they don't go to my preview window. When I click on the clips it will seem as if they are in there but there isn't a picture.
Make sure you have the latest patch installed (pinnacle support site), make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card, make sure you have the latest version of direct x installed on your system.
oh I need help! I'm used to Studio 12 and recently updated to 20 and have been trying to learn it. Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials and your sense of humor that goes into all of them. I have to make a memorial dvd today and I know how to make it loop on Studio 12 but not 20 Ultimate. It needs to auto repeat so that it can be watched whenever -- could you please let me know how to do that and if there is anything different from 12 about making a title. I also ran into a glitch on trying to make a menu... I can't find how to get my .jpgs onto the buttons. Can't drag and drop and there is no place I can find to select a picture to put in the buttons even tho' there's the number there showing that it should take a picture.... this is not nearly as important as how to make a loop and put a title on the memorial DVD. Have to do that today, yikes! I was told someone else was making the dvd but that wasn't true.
When you select a button make sure you go to the buttons tab at the top and you should be able to modify it there.
I have a tutorial on how to make a looping DVD, it should work for PS 16 thru 20. th-cam.com/video/CegBmVLu-K0/w-d-xo.html
Hi there Pinnacle guru. I have got a question again, can I cut a clip before I will put it in the timeline? or always have tu put the entire clip for example 4min. in the timeline and then search for interesting parts and cut...
big thanks
You can trim it from the preview window before placing it in the timeline but if you do it will permanently change the clip in the library and you will not be able to access the rest of the clip. 6:13
Great stuff Maliek! I have Studio Ultimate 20 and am facing problem with export in MP4. The export process stopped a half way because: "the export process has experienced problem with time line and has been canceled (0xE1000005) 35236/40334@00:19:35:21". Any idea how to solve this abrakadabra?
Find the clip, effect, transition, etc. at 19:35:21 on your timeline and correct or remove it.
Yes. I did. I deleted a transition in-between. The problem remains. I'd like to try now prior export to render the whole movie. There is such option in the Advanced export
Well...Looks never ending story. I rendered the whole movie in export (export - advanced - in Pre-processing I revised from automatic to render completely prior export). Afterwards ther was no problem with export but a half of my transitions is gone (just black instead of) and a lot of effects (picture-in-picture, etc) as well. But the question remains- please what to do?
How can I solve this problem I have the same problem too. At 99% of exporting I face a problem.
Hello papas efrem. I've got a reply from Malik. Herewith I'm copying and pasting his reply: "Find the clip, effect, transition, etc. at 19:35:21 on your timeline and correct or remove it." I did it; I cleaned up and removed the transitions and effects in this "problem zone". It didn't help. I kept on trying to export in different extensions. Finally I managed to do this in AVI. Of course the quality was poorer than in mp4. But better this than nothing!
Hi Maleik, thanks and well done for these videos. I just purchased the Pinnacle Studio 20.5 Ultimate. am trying to find how to manually enhance color, sharpness, gamma etc . I got lost in all the info online but couldn't find anything about this. Would appreciate your help. Thanks once again
If you have plus or ultimate there are color correction tools in the effects editor.
yes found them but maybe i need to experiment more as am not getting the right corrections. Thanks for ur reply
Hi!
I'm making a video with pinnacle studio 20 ultimate and imported some nice pictures but after importing them on my new pinnacle video editor the pictures have lines and look pretty bad in the video. Can I do anything to fix that problem? Also, when I use the "Cross Dissolve" Transition it sometimes won't work and I have to use the "Fade in or out" Transition. Is there anything I can do about that?
hello. I need "Clear speech sounds". How can I got it or how can do it? please help me
Thanks Pro - this tutorial just save my home video project.
You're welcome. Glad to be of assistance.
Thanks for the videos. I went from 15 to 20 and I can't figure out how to subdivide scenes in version 20. In 15 it was just right click the video thumbnail and select subdivide. Is there a video that shows how to subdivide scenes in version 20? Thank you.
No, but you can create scenes in the organize tab. Go to the Organize tab, find the video, right click the video and the option will be there.
Grandmother in Norway thank you for useful information.
I have earlier use Pinnacle Studio 15. (much easier ….). Great transition to Pinnacle Studio ultimate 20…
How to get added a diskmeny on the time line (and my own text)? By dragging/dropping it goes only to preview. It was also in the 15 possible to retrieve music direct from a cd. Is it possible in 20?
Yes you can import music from a CD using the import tab. Once it is on Pinnacle if it doesn't play try converting it to a .wav file and then see if it will play.
Watch my DVD menu tutorial for help in using the menus.
Thank you very much reply, and again thank you for very good information.
For example, whith the titles I can drag/drop to timeline and double-clic for editing . This does not go with diskmeny. It will not “snap”to the timeline. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry! I found it now. Had to use the “creat DVD” button. Now it runs much better. Olso a big difference from version 15. Thank you very much again for the nice tutorials. (Import music from the cd works great now…)
My new laptop does not have a dvd-drive. How can I start Pinnacle on it?
Hi, I would like to know how to block some videos on the timeline so i can add some more videos without move them. Cheers
I'm so not understand what you are asking.
like i insert a video on timeline and then i don't want to move it anymore so i want block it in that position
There is a lock all the way to the left of every timeline track. Click on the lock and you will not be able to edit or move anything on that track.
Also, you can change your timeline mode to one of the three options until you find one that works best for you. Some of the options move things around when you edit and others keep everything in the same place. The timeline mode is all the way to the right under the preview window.
Hey Maleik. Need some help. If i have several tracks of little clips, is there a way i can edit and change brightness, contrast and saturation after i highlight all the clips? Everytime i try it only does one clip. thanks
Hi Maliek, Thank you for all the tutorials, I've learned a lot using your videos, appreciated.
Recently updated to 20 Ultimate and can´t get Pinnacle to connect to my analog VCR. When selecting "Import" all the import options are there, exept for "Device" it says "No device found". I'm using EasyCap and if I use the editing sofware that came with EasyCap (Uleas VideoStudio) then everything works normal and I get full signal both audio and Video. Obviously I prefer to use Pinnacle. Can you assist me?
Best regards,
Sigurdur
I'm not familiar with the EasyCap program. I think it would be best to go to that programs forum to seek a solution.
What hardware would you suggest to use to transfer analog video from VCR to Pinnacle?
Pinnacle Dazzle worked for me in the past but I haven't used it in a while. I suggest you do some research online to see what would be the best capture device to use with Pinnacle.
