Like most other comments I see, I've used this software for maybe 15 years and now believe it's time to find a new one. Will they send me a disk? And what's up with NEW BLUE FX? I can still use them with PS22 but not PS24? I'll look into this more, but at the onset, I say "Bad move, Corel". The very NEXT DAY, I received an email for the same price, buying physical with FREE shipping. I preferred to buy physical, but afforded myself just the download. guess what? It got stuck and before it automatically restarted my computer, I saw an error message, though I couldn't read it in time. unless you close the movie, then the program and restart.

Now the project is here, PS24 is installed, and the crashes are unbelievable! Clips lock in place and won't move, rendering just stops and doesn't restart. I upgraded from 22 to 24 because I have long waited for masking. In Windows Explorer, browse to C:\Program Files\Pinnacle\Studio 23\programs. Unzip, select both files, right-click and select 'Copy.'. In Pinnacle Studio 23, ensure that Help->About displays version 23.2. And needful to say after you put all the time into your project it crashes and change the quality of what you had. Problem: In Pinnacle Studio 23, specific projects may have audio drop-out during playback. NO MORE WASTING TIME FOR THEM TO FIX IT and by the way I ended up with 3 effects! And how many is suppose to be included in the program? Staying with them has really crashed my world. It's time to move on and hope for the best.

LOTS OF TIME WASTED, LOST AND SIGNIFICANT-MAJOR SET-BACK. I know it hurts but it's time to make that decision. It's about having the time to put into learn a new. Everybody, chalk up your losses, find another product, time is slipping into the future. They should be ashamed of themselves but they aren't and you don't get any great tech support. I stumbled across this page to find, I'm not the only one. And when you use the effects it crashes or just simply (mine would disappear.) The more you discover learning the program the worst the crashing. After being with them the past 2 years have been nothing but consistent disaster of crashing. I have to agree with everyone on this page.
