How you can edit files

The editing process can go from simple to complex, based on your previous experience with video editing and according to your ambitions.

When starting using the software: please take into account that the tool is pretty intuitive, however, at times you might encounter some difficulties in dealing with advanced settings. To help you, there’s a User Manual you can easily access from the software interface.

In the upper part of the screen, you have 3 main options that should guide you through the editing process: an Import option (you’ll import files into the tool), an Edit option (you’ll use it mainly), an Export option (you export the final video file in a format you choose).

Advanced uses of the software: Some examples of complex editing: you can add two row videos and make up one video file that unifies them, you can add fancy titles and you can use options for voiceover.

This requires some in-depth exploration of the split screen function, audio settings, etc.

What you’ll get:

Almost any video you want. Simply save the file to review it later and go on editing, if you’re not ready to release it to the online world. Or else, if you find it perfected, export it and show it to your audience.

Any number of projects in your library, categorized in collections (with specific effects and media). Pinnacle Studio 23 Ultimate provides options for a good management of projects, so you stay organized and have a clean picture of your work, any time you open the tool.
