 Beware not to be used with Hi Def Camcorders May 31, 2008
69 out of 75 found this review helpful
I bought the Canon Vixia HF100 and shooting exclusively in HD mode. My Computer is a Pentium Core Quad processor with 4 gigs RAM, SATA drive of over 500 gigs, plus an external Firewire drive. I bought this software with high expectations however the following issues are present, even with all the current downloads:
Extreme Choppiness in video editing. After uploading my video files (.m2ts files), I incorporated into the time line and noticed extreme latency making adjustments, rendering and playing back temp editing. This is totally un-useable. I made a number of adjustments including checking that DMA was enabled, Disk Caching was disabled, and increasing swap file size (Bizarre since I am running over 4 gigs of memory), Plus I also enabled the smart proxy service which should assist in making such noticable delays go away. Not so. Nothing worked here. I imagine all the positive reviews were from users not using HD format.
Unless I have some type of fix for this issue, I am forced to find another software replacement. I am looking into Sony Vegas pro 8 as an alternative and will test the trial download.
Stay away from Video Studio 11.5 if you are using a High Def Camcorder.
UPDATE: I've since tried Sony Vegas Pro 8. Absolutely no latency with importing and editing Hi Def files. Sony has it right. It is more expensive, but you get what you pay for, ULEAD has a nice interface, but it can't handle the Higher Def files. This is the selling point. If you sole mission is to put highly compressed video onto the internet, ULEAD may be ok. If you want to do more in-depth editing and work with higher definition files go with Sony Vegas Pro 8 period. Save the hassle
 Plenty for amateurs like me May 29, 2008

Video editing is something new for me. I only recently purchased a videocam so I can write only from recent experience and only about this product as opposed to comparing it to other editing programs.
Loading the software went smoothly, although it seemed to take longer than average to install. Once installed everything worked properly, though.
The software comes with a 168-page user's guide that covers the various features and tasks of the software. While the print is rather small, the guide is easy to follow and to the point as it leads the user through the necessary steps.
I did a simple task, taking a video file of a piano recital, adding chapters and burning it to DVD. Everything worked as it should, and the software comes with various templates that made the process easier. I also originally added some subtitles to the file but removed them in order to keep things as simple as possible. It was very easy to add and remove them. Everything works on layers progressing on a timeline as you mix and add things, making it pretty easy to produce a decent video. For an amateur like me, this product has more than enough features for my needs and I am eager to explore and experiment with them.
For the money, this is a nicely-designed product that is pretty easy to use and comes with all the features most "amateurs" will need. I am very happy to have received this as an Amazon Vine sample but I would not hesitate in purchasing it or recommending it to others. It's worth the money.
Hi-Def (BluRay) on Standard DVD March 21, 2008

5 STARS for the ability to burn/edit/ watch in AVCHD.
Well, I just got ULEAD VideoStudio 11.5 Plus software and the Sony PS3 yesterday. Although I prefer Sony Vegas Studio to do the editing, I bought the Ulead because of the claim that Hi-Def videos could be burned on standard DVDs and viewed through the PS3 in Hi-Def. I have a Canon HG10 camcorder and so far Sony Vegas Studio is incompatible with Canon AVCHD format. Editing and burning to a standard DVD is a benefit because Blu Ray burners cost around $400 and up, and Blu Ray blank media costs $10 PER DISC and up. Well, the software works well! If you tape,transfer, edit, and burn in the AVCHD format, the resulting DVD plays in (BluRay compatible) Hi-Def video. It looks fantastic!
Cost-effective video editing solution! Perfect for the YouTuber May 24, 2008

I had been using Windows Movie Maker to publish videos on YouTube and other sites. While Movie Maker is essentially free and powerful enough to accomplish many of the general tasks needed to polish up a video clip, it lacks some features that are found in Corel Ulead 11.5 Plus.
Corel Ulead Videostudio allows you to view samples of video effects in the thumbnails section, giving you a better way to sample the effects before you apply them as your transitions. The title and text boxes allow you to easily crop and move them around in the video. Microsoft's Movie Maker was extremely restrictive with placing text, or it was difficult to manipulate. With Ulead's Videostudio, the interface was extremely intuitive and easy to master. I was able to add background music, text, and transition effects within 5 minutes of installing the program. The number of formats available for exporting the final product is nothing short of impressive. Ulead offers H.264, WMV, MPEG-4, Blu Ray, HD DVD, DVD/VCD/SVCD/MPEG1/MPEG2, and HDV in 720p/1080i.
The bonus disc includes a few extra programs such as WinDVD8 (DVD player) and MediaOne (photo editor). MediaOne is a very simple program and lacks too many features to make it a worthwhile replacement for Paint Shop or Photoshop. WinDVD8 is simple to use and works well for playing DVD movies on a PC.
Pros:
-Affordable
-Powerful entry/intermediate level video editing
-Works on slower PCs without any problems
-Impressive number of export formats available
-Large selection of filters/attributes to apply and edit for your clips
-Almost full control over the exported file settings
Cons:
-There are some commands added to your registry that start up various applets during a fresh boot of the PC.
-The installer asks if you want to install the Google toolbar in your browser.
Overall, if you are looking for a better way to express your creativity and personality using the magic of audio/visual presentations and want to keep it within a decent budget, Corel's VideoStudio fits the bill.
Great Product -- if it only worked! April 3, 2008

I have successfully used Pinnacle's V10+ but this product seemed to include what Pinnacle/Avid wants you to buy as add-ons. The systems I use more than meet the highest requirements for the product.
During install of the product AvControlSDK message stated error installing ikernel though the product seemed to install. The Corel web site said 'ikernel' was a problem with the installation program and pointed to a web site for a 'fix'. There was a VS11 'hotfix' also that I applied. But tryinig the sample program gave failures in hedocdll.dll, trying again it ran ok. Import of video from a dvd's gave 'import DVD failed 2396'. Couldn't get the DVD out of the computer, seems COREL IO manager that gets installed has a known bug. There was a hang trying to trim video. UVPL.exe caused a problem. DDE server stuck. etc ad nauseum. InterVideo Windvd kept trying to go online, seems it's a come-on product and you can buy a useful one for $80 or so more.
Well, I uninstalled, manually uninstalled and reinstalled as suggested by their website 'help'. This time it seemed to install ok (left out Corel IO manager). You have to manually move over some files (though it's not real clear where). This time the sample program ran and rendered seemingly ok til it got done then Windows apologized again because VS11 had another problem. The rendered video played ok. But trying some real editing gave vstudio.exe failures dutifully logged and sent off by Windows.
The help offered by COREL is either non-existent or very very difficult to get to.
This would be a great product. It has an excellent interface. Seems much easier to use than Pinnacle's product. If it only worked!!
