Hello!
I'm a student at Loyalist College in Belleville, Ontario taking Television and New Media production. I am working on an assignment at the moment that involves researching an editing software/hardware. I was just wondering if anyone can tell me the advantages and disadvanges of Pinnacle Pro One??? Thank you very much
Tara
Advantages:
real time effects and speed change
Broadcast quality
Innovative image stabilization
Professional keyframing tools
Disadvantages:
requires:
Pentium III or Athlon 700MHz or equivalent processor
256 MB RAM
1 - 32 bit PCI 2.1 slot
High Color AGP DirectX 6.0 (or higher)compatible display adapter
PCI Sound card
Windows 98 SE / Millennium
I hope that helped. Good Luck with your project!
Other advantages:
Analog input and output to and from DV format files on the PC. No need to record analog video to my camcorder and then load it in by Firewire, or the reverse to output. Of course the Pinnacle software crashes a lot when capturing long videos.
Hardware MPEG-2 compression, though it doesn't seem to be any faster than software compression on my P4-3.06 now (was a lot faster than the P3-550 I originally had).
Other disadvantages:
Crashes and spontaneous reboots in Premiere. Pinnacle make good hardware, but their software is... well... not so good.
Confuses a lot of programs, which see it as a PCI graphics card in XP and try to run on it. I have to keep mine disabled except when using it.
