2D Editor Advanced isn't as advanced as its name suggests.

Some general comments about each of the modules: I suspect that this results from the need to achieve compatibility when converting data from different legacy applications. Some parameters have different ranges and work in opposite directions in different modules. The table below lists the parameters of each of each of the five modules.

Pinnacle Studio 15 and earlier are a very different product.

(Message to marketeers: 'Ultimate' means the last, greatest, most spectacular, ever, but a new, even more Ultimate version of Pinnacle Studio comes out about once a year.)Ī lower-cost version, Pinnacle Studio Plus appears to have the same picture in picture effects, while the entry-level plain Pinnacle Studio lacks the ability to use keyframes to change an effect over time.Īvid Studio (no longer sold) is very similar to Pinnacle Studio 16. There is an additional Multi-Shape PIP module, which can produce a polygonal or star-shaped PiP, but it is different enough that I'm not covering it here. There is no way to convert among these modules. Be careful in choosing which module you will use. It is important to know about all of these modules in order not to be caught up with one of them which lacks a desired feature. Some are easier to use, and others provide a wealth of options. The five modules have many features in common, but also important differences. These applications have five different modules which produce picture-in-picture effects, all under the 2D-3D heading in the Effects Editor. I examined Pinnacle Studio 16 Ultimate, but the new version 17 appears not to have changed the effects available in the Effects Editor. This page is a companion to my page reviewing Pinnacle Studio Ultimate and its predecessor, Avid Studio Ultimate video editing software.
