Hi I'm a big fan of your videos, At 18:02 (when you close gap) how can you keep the clip in track 1 stay lined up with the 2nd last clip in track 2? Thank You

[darcyotranto]

I just purchased the 21 ultimate version for a huge project(s) and just a little lost but your videos are saving me. Thank you, thank you so

[GrahamHigson]

Basic stuff, especially for users of previous versions, but so essential to review and also see what's new. Another great video, Maliek, thank you.

Do you have a video of what is the best way to organize the tracks on pinnacle studio 20 ultimate
Thank you Carlos

Makiek Your training video are great. I have a question if I may. I would like to desolve 1 clip into another just say at 50% then back out, I am having trouble accomplishing this any tips?

I used to use Pinnacle Studio many years ago. Glad to be using it again. Thank you for your tutorials!!! Very well done.

I have a question for you (or anyone else reading this). I am having a problem with track synchronization while editing and I noticed the issue happened here in this video @17:27. When I have multiple tracks with clips in each track... say 3 tracks... I may line a clip in track one with something in track 2. But when I add or delete something in track 2, and the clips are moved forward or back in time.. the clip in track one stays put... it does move with the items in track 2, thus throwing everything out of sync between track 1 and track 2. If I make an edit in track 2 or 3 I would have to go back and move the clips around in track 1. Ok, if I only have one or two tracks but if I have a complex edit between several tracks this can become a nightmare and a major editing headache. Whats going on and how to fix it?

how come I dont see the preview video I only hear sound.

[thomashartung]

Very good tutorial.
How do you make those red arrows that you use i the tutorials ?

[sakman]

Hi Maliek, as always your presentation is SUPER! I will follow you week by week and step by step. Thanks so much.

[EdgardLouis]

Pouvez-vous me montrer comment utiliser le menu de disque avec PS21 ?

[wendyf]

Your videos are really great! I can follow the instructions, you take time for me to see what you are doing, and you have nice arrows to show me where you went. I had no luck with the "official" videos. Clearly the Pinnacle 21 for Dummies (and those of us terrified of technology). Thank-you Thank-you! I can stop sweating learning this upgrade from Pinnacle 15, which is what I have been using for 5 years.

Is it weird I’m nostalgic for this guys videos on pinnacle studio 17? I didn’t realize they were already at 24 lol

[heatwave]

how does one add both landscape and portrait videos on a timeline for a simple edit keeping both the original formats.The editor usually keeps the first clips format but if we just want to combine various clips what is the simple way to do it?

[geoffphil]

You've just about convinced me to go with Pinnacle Studio. How do you think it compares with programs like Filmora and Davinci Resolve? Update. Uninstalled as it crashes!

Hi Maliek!  I have a question about adding speed/timelapses on Pinnacle Studio 21.I've been using PS 19 without a problem on my computer, adding speed/creating sped up or slowed down clips by shrinking or stretching said video clip has always been a breeze and very intuitive!That being said, I was able to get the new version, Pinnacle Studio 21 Ultimate, at my work computer. I'm trying to add speed to video clips but I keep running into a problem that I've never encountered before, not even on older versions of Pinnacle Studio.For example, let's say I have a 1 minute video clip, I want to speed up the 0:10 second - 0:20 second so I always cut the video at those time-marks, then I click on the "stretch" button in the "add speed" menu and shrink it down to a 3 second clip, so now the 10 second video clip is sped up so it only has a duration of 3 seconds. This always works without a problem on PS 19.On Pinnacle Studio 21 Ultimate, however, it doesn't.  When ever I cut the same video clip at the 0:10 second - 0:20 second mark out of the 1 minute video and then add speed->stretch (or shrink) down to a duration of 3 seconds then that 3 second clip now has the entire 1 minute clip in it sped up to fit into 3 seconds.  Would you know why it's speeding up the entire 1 minute video clip instead of the 10 second clip I cut out of it?I hope my question and explanation isn't too confusing.  :)

Great channel! Can you advise Corel to add LUT function to Pinnacle Studio 21 please? Power Director 16 has LUT function.

[JOSESALAZAR]

Hi Maliek. I live in Madrid and I had Pinnacle 15. Now I have version 21. When I started to use it was very hard to me because it offers lots of tools and new layout. You help me a lot with this viedo tutorial. Thank you very much. Regards.

I do not have any of the buttons under the video that you have for looking at frames and jump from frame to frame
