Is this a good program for a beginner in video editing? Is this the only program you need or is this an add on to the Corel suite?

I am an advanced amateur photographer and use several video editing software packages to create MPEG-4 High Def DVD video slide shows. I own and use Roxio Creator NXT Pro, Corel Video Studio 7 Ultimate and Cyberlink PowerDirector 12 Ultimate. As a beginner I suggest you start by trying a Roxio Creator product. Roxio has a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that is intuitive and contains features suitable for beginner and advanced amateur use. Roxio also provides editing capabilities for audio editing, CD & DVD burning, and others. Corel and Cyberlink video editing products require a bit more of a learning curve to master, but do contain many useful advanced features not found in Roxio Creator.

To Pat and J.Crosby, In my opinion, do youself a favour and don't go anywhere near Photoshop Elements 6 (PSE6). I paid for an upgrade from an earlier version and have wasted my money. The program crashes continually to such an extent it is unusable. From my googling on the internet this is the experience of numerous other people. There are no solutions I can find on the Adobe site and although these complaints seem to have been posted since PSE6 was first brought out there are no upgrades or patches to fix what are a myriad of problems. A number of people have complained that the program worked initially and then started continually crashing and that has been my experience. I won't be buying more Adobe products until they show a bit of customer care and isuue fixes for this mess. I have downloaded and installed a trial version of Pro Photo X2 and so far it seems stable. PSE6 may have more bells and whistles but that is not much use if they are unusable due to continual program crashes.

I'd recommend Corel Painter Essentials 5 because it has a similar GUI to Adobe Photoshop, tons of brushes and other mediums, and it won't break the bank. I have PE4 & I still use it more than Painter X3 (which I also have). If you plan on doing any serious drawing or painting, PE5 is the way to go.

I used the software only for a few days and it locked up. I reinstalled and it worked for a few days and locked up. Someone said you can only install this software one time and then you need technical help from Corel. So no help with software.

No this is plugin which you can use inside pro tools, logic, avid media composer, premiere and other programs

Hi Jane, I hope what follows will help in your purchase of this software. I saved it to my hard drive with no problems noted. I am willing to say that you can save or back-up the program to a DVD or other drive that you desire with no problems that I can see. The software is still available to me on Amazon for download with the serial number. I purchased it Oct 2013. I use it for design work for my CNC work that I do and the manufacture uses in their online classes. As far as I can tell this Designer 2D is a full working copy and I actually downloaded a trial copy Designer 19 prior to purchasing Designer 20. Good luck...there are a number of videos on this program and the help function gave me what I needed. I have two monitors so I would watch and follow the videos in learning the program.

I use Corel Draw and Photoshop to prepare my files. By that I mean, I create my logo, design, etc. in the program (corel draw) and safe it as a low bit PNG file. Then I go over to the Sure Cuts A lot program / screen and import or place the previously created/saved file on the matt (desktop of surecutsalot). The critical part here is, that sometimes the matt does not show the trace / outline image I created, after hitting the cut window button. So you have to play around a little, go back to Corel and adjust, re-save the pic, etc. And redo. It does work for me, but remember.. the more lines, corners, trickiness your design has, this cutter has its limits. Now if you question is, if the Corel opens or works directly with the Cutter, without the SureCutsAlot software, I do not know or have not done that. All in all, if you are good with Corel and play around with creation - import / paste - trace - cut it will take you maybe an hour to figure it all out. The biggest problem I had, was that if the pic / design is not properly traced, even though it shows perfectly on the surecutsalot matt / screen, It will suddenly cut through the middle of your design / vinyl and ruin a big batch of your material. Which was hard, because I hate wasting material. But if that happens, then the customer service recommends to redo/reimport, etc. But even better to create the design in surecutsalot from the start. surecutsalot does not really offer much design play room, so id rather redo. I hope this makes somewhat sense. I love the cutter for the price. And recommend it. Customer Service is American based and very helpful. I believe people get frustrated with the item, because they do not understand the connection between software and cutter. Good luck

Not sure what you're asking but if you mean does it have templates, then yes it does and quite a few, plus add-ons. It does a "Quick Edit" as well as a quick movie/video and allows you to create your own templates. I hope this helps.

It depends on the software. I found that Adobe Premiere could directly import the Flip MP4 format while Corel's VideoStudio could not. I had to convert it first using QuickMediaConverter, but there are many freeware converters available.

Make sure you do not include dash separators. Also you may have caps included in the number. I purchased this program from another vendor and thought it was terrible. I could not burn any type of dvd with this. I wanted to make slideshows as advertized on the box but you have to download bonus software to do this. It still did not work. I bought Wondershare DVD Creator after trying the unpaid version. It works very well and is very user friendly. Good luck!! I made the slideshows with Movie Maker then burned dvds with Wondershare.

i use Final Cut Express on my Mac. for the PC, I've used Pinnacle Studio. it's not nearly as good, but it'll get the job done.

If you can wait... then absolutely wait... till the next version comes out... I have purchased every version of elements and have noted that Adobe never patches their software.. they fix all the problems they find in the next version... Premiere 4 is buggy as all hell... read the comments it constantly crashes.. I suspect Premiere 7 will be far more stable otherwise why would they skip version 5 and 6 LOL. Photoshop elements 6 is far better than 5 but elements 4 was only slightly better than 3 (they added a poor quality UTUBE uploader that every one complained about and they never fixed). So you never know with Adobe the one thing for sure... if you want a more stable version of their software don't expect them to fix it for free... expect it in the next paid upgrade. The only thing you get when you click update is some new version of Adobe Acrobat reader... ??? Having said all that... these products are the best for their money in Windows environment.. hence the reason I keep upgrading with each version. Wish Final Cut would make it to the windows environment and give Adobe some real competition... by the way the new version of Adobe comes with the option of online back up of 20Gigs... come on Adobe.. with 10 meg cheap cameras that is no where near sufficient storage I have 50 gigs of photos alone not to mention my video files.

I used Pinnacle's VideoSpin software to edit the footage. I think you can burn a DVD for the first 2 weeks then you have to purchase the upgrade version for $30 (download). Based on what I've seen it's a real bargain. The CD version of the upgrade is highly rated and costs $60. VideoSpin is freeware but the codec package is $15 if you plan to use it beyond 2 weeks.

It does but it's a horrendous program I would avoid at all costs. It will use 100% of your computer resources and crash routinely with Windows 7 64 bit. Try Adobe, iMovie or final cut pro

Sometimes student editions aren't supposed to be used for professional purposes, but I'm not sure how anybody would be able to tell the difference with something like this. Just so you know the latest edition of CorelDraw is X5, however if you're just getting into this kind of stuff X4 should be fine.

I've posted photos from the program to my Facebook page, but it's easier for me to post from the "pictures" files in Windows. As far as "design" goes, I guess I don't use that/those feature(s). I bought the program to play with effects and simple cropping and editing, particularly with RAW/NEF images. I like Paintshop Pro for its ease of use. As an older person, I like to keep it simple and Paintshop Pro does that for me. I also have Photoshop CS3, which I use almost as much, due to being used to using the program.

According to the Manual, yes to both questions; Object Extractor - The enhanced Object Extractor makes it easy to cut objects out of extra-large image files, thanks to new 64-bit performance. Use it to perform a number of tasks on your large files, such as removing an object from its original background or copying an extracted image and placing it in a different photo. Corel VideoStudio Pro allows you to add both narration and music to your project. The Audio feature in Corel VideoStudio Pro consists of two tracks: Voice and Music. You can insert narration on the Voice Track and background music or sound effects on the Music Track.
