I’ve used this program and its big brother, SoundSoap Pro, on dozens and dozens of audio podcasts to clean up electrical hum from telephone recordings, and it has numerous other applications as well. One of the most versatile of these is a version of Bias Inc.’s (SoundSoap noise reduction program, which has been a mainstay in PC-based recording studios for several years. (The more musically adept can always add their own personal elements on top of the score.) But for subtle background music under a montage and narration, this may be all you need.Īs I mentioned, the Ultimate edition of Pinnacle Studio ships with several nifty plug-ins and features. Scorefitter uses pre-recorded MIDI tracks, and the tunes tend to have the slightly clockwork sound often associated with all-MIDI-based recordings. With multiple default examples of each subset, it’s possible to customize a variety of tunes to fit a scene.
It then asks the user to specify the style, song and version. The Import Media will also automatically store videos and still photos in the directories you specify, making it much easier to find raw media again after it’s used in a production.įor background scores, all of the versions of Pinnacle Studio ship with a MIDI-based applet called “Scorefitter.” This application uses a library of MIDI tracks, from which it creates background music to fit the length you specify to fill a scene. Just editing the slideshow portion of a video today? Then clear the “Show Video” button, and only photos will be visible. A handy feature when importing your media files into Pinnacle is a pair of buttons labeled “Show Video” and “Show Photos.” These will make only the media you’re currently working with visible. On all of the versions, the Pinnacle Studio user interface, which supports both dual and widescreen monitors, is handsome and well laid-out. But to me, the choice seems awfully clear, after checking out the surprisingly high-end features included in the Ultimate Edition we tested. From a marketing point of view, it’s always good to move prospective buyers from “should I buy?” to “which one should I buy,” which explains the three different versions.

The program sells in three versions: the core model (called simply Pinnacle Studio), which retails for $50 Pinnacle Studio Plus for $100 and Pinnacle Studio Ultimate, which lists for $130. Case in point: Avid’s Pinnacle Studio Version 11. It never ceases to amaze us how powerful and full-featured video editing programs at the $100 price level have become.
