camcorders and video editing software falling in price all the time, do not need to Roman Polanski to make your own movies these days. Ulead Video Studio has been at the forefront of the market for budget video software for some time and this latest version promises even more value for users seeking hard-up make videos, fix your home movies or produce documentaries about his life.

Ulead Video Studio certainly looks good on paper, with a series of new tools for working with HD, and a group of templates, video effects and filters, and capturing tools. There are three different packages with applications suite, catering to the different needs and skill levels, as Movie Wizard and DV to DVD Wizard.

Key Features of Ulead Video Studio

Ulead Video Studio certainly has some decent editing functions. It is including an extended storyboard to view and order the scenes (next to the time line everywhere), another big scene preview window, title templates and text, audio tracks voice narration and a soundtrack, and built-in instrumental scores to fit the length of the movie. The user interface does not make it so bad a job in making all these features easy to avail, but still have the most virgin film producers a while to grasp the basics.

There is no doubt that with a little practice, you can evoke some decent looking creations in the package, but you will experience some setbacks along the way. The main problem with VideoStudio has always been pressure on system memory and unfortunately, this does not appear to have been adequately addressed in this release. Load times are cripplingly slow and unless you are using a NASA computer previewing complex edits can be a horrible experience, with audio clips and jumping and being frequently.

Other annoyances include the fact that you can move forward and backward in the preview window of the scene, and the ease of zoom in the timeline is not powerful enough. Interestingly, given its support for the new HD disc format, Ulead Video Studio seems to have forgotten to include support for Blu-Ray as well. Another point to note is that several users have beaten Softonic technical support very poor, with many reports that your questions are answered consistently. Come on Ulead, if you’re going to carry out a program which sometimes falls at least give the customer a little help to fix things.
