 Plenty for amateurs like me May 29, 2008

Video editing is something new for me. I only recently purchased a videocam so I can write only from recent experience and only about this product as opposed to comparing it to other editing programs.
Loading the software went smoothly, although it seemed to take longer than average to install. Once installed everything worked properly, though.
The software comes with a 168-page user's guide that covers the various features and tasks of the software. While the print is rather small, the guide is easy to follow and to the point as it leads the user through the necessary steps.
I did a simple task, taking a video file of a piano recital, adding chapters and burning it to DVD. Everything worked as it should, and the software comes with various templates that made the process easier. I also originally added some subtitles to the file but removed them in order to keep things as simple as possible. It was very easy to add and remove them. Everything works on layers progressing on a timeline as you mix and add things, making it pretty easy to produce a decent video. For an amateur like me, this product has more than enough features for my needs and I am eager to explore and experiment with them.
For the money, this is a nicely-designed product that is pretty easy to use and comes with all the features most "amateurs" will need. I am very happy to have received this as an Amazon Vine sample but I would not hesitate in purchasing it or recommending it to others. It's worth the money.
Hi-Def (BluRay) on Standard DVD March 21, 2008

5 STARS for the ability to burn/edit/ watch in AVCHD.
Well, I just got ULEAD VideoStudio 11.5 Plus software and the Sony PS3 yesterday. Although I prefer Sony Vegas Studio to do the editing, I bought the Ulead because of the claim that Hi-Def videos could be burned on standard DVDs and viewed through the PS3 in Hi-Def. I have a Canon HG10 camcorder and so far Sony Vegas Studio is incompatible with Canon AVCHD format. Editing and burning to a standard DVD is a benefit because Blu Ray burners cost around $400 and up, and Blu Ray blank media costs $10 PER DISC and up. Well, the software works well! If you tape,transfer, edit, and burn in the AVCHD format, the resulting DVD plays in (BluRay compatible) Hi-Def video. It looks fantastic!
Very nice consumer level package May 20, 2008

I've had a love/hate relationship with Ulead products in the past when they were an independent company. The products were generally good, but usually had quirky interfaces and relatively poor documentation. I used to use their photo editing program, but finally gave up on it. It had lots of nice features - but, overall, the programs had a steeper learning curve than I felt was necessary.
Corel purchased or merged with Ulead. I know that Corel had seen some hard times, but having recently tested their CorelDraw package, I knew their products were still pretty good. So I elected to test the Ulead VideoStudio 11.5 Plus.
What a pleasant surprise. Ulead VideoStudio 11.5 Plus installed on an XP machine without a single hiccup. The user interface is aggressively simple and they even include a pretty decent printed user manual, though the type is small.
The interface can be fairly described as intuitive and even the newest user will soon figure it out, particularly if they consult the online help or manual.
There are storyboard, timeline and audio views. This is not intended to be a heavy duty video editing program. Everything is designed to be as easy as possible and the designers have succeeded in reaching that goal. Chromakey, automatic editing and some other reasonably sophisticated features are available and don't require a knowledge of rocket science.
VideoStudio accepts all the ordinary inputs and AVCHD, one of the first programs to do so. Multiple output formats are available, including to iPod (H.264) and YouTube.
Overall, VideoStudio 11.5 Plus seems to be aimed at the video editor who needs enough power, but not so much that they have to surmount a steep learning curve. I found the program to be very stable under Windows XP. I performance and response were crisp.
On the whole, this program is on a par with Adobe Premiere Elements for a lower price. Not a bad deal at all.

Ulead Video Studio and Media One - Great Tools At Very Nice Prices June 19, 2008
Mark (East Coast)
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Video editing and authoring is generally an expensive proposition, and while this program is not perfect or professional grade Corel Ulead VideoStudio 11.5 Plus packs a wallop of features for a VERY good price, at least compared to what this software has historically cost.
The amount of export options has to be a big plus, and it includes the ability to easily format any video file or project for any of your mobile devices including your iPod, iPhone, Zune, PSP, etc. That's a huge thing that many people are looking for.
Some of the newer options like HD and BlueRay authoring aren't going to get wide use immediately, but they are must-haves for the growing HD crowd out there.
Within Video Studio there are a few basic options. The Movie Wizard is a quick and dirty import and export tool. This is the easiest option to choose to convert, trim and condense video files. There's also a bunch of templates included for standard transitions to add some openings, endings, fades and credits. Once again, even with the Wizard alone you can really clean up some video files fast.
You can even import them directly from you digital recorder, but I opt to save my files and import them afterwords. I always like to have a backup seperate from what I'm working on, so this makes it easier for me to keep track of my import and export areas.
In the full blown Video Studio tool you can open up video and audio files and add them to a project. The benefit of that is that you can merge and splice your files and add custom transitions and graphics to really make your videos pop. Once again, there's a lot of features here. You really have to spend some time playing and exploring.
Media One is kind of an extra, but it makes it easy to do some basic graphics and picture stuff to add to your videos. Another extra is Intermedia DVD player, which is included on many OEM system software packages but didn't come with my box. So that's a nice extra too.
One positive thing is that there are a bunch of tutorials and help file documentats included on your extras disks. There's also plenty of clips to play with and test your skills on. If you haven't done video editing before that's probably the best place to start.
Still, I think this program is user friendly enough to do basic things like import / export and conversions out of the box. Since most people will want to start by collecting all their videos, that's a nice plus in terms of the usability.
One con I have to note is that converting videos to certain formats seems to use pre-set frame rates that take some time to customize. And it seems to convert some of these formats frame by frame, instead of using much faster file conversion techniques. Behind the scenes it may be doing more, but for this price I don't really mind waiting a few minutes for my files to convert.
I also own the Pinnacle software that comes with their integrated hardware offering, Pinnacle Studio MovieBox Ultimate, Studio Ultimate Version 12. While there are more basic versions of the software that are closer in price to this guy, I find that the Corel Ulead software is more stable overall.
Don't get me wrong, the Movie-box ultimate package is a great value because it includes the hardware interface. If you don't have all the connectors you need, that might be a good alternative. But if you just compare software to software, Corel Ulead stacks up well against Pinnacle Studio Ultimate.
Truth be told, for this price I have to forgive the other minor cons I noted. That includes mainly that the menu and icon graphics aren't the snazziest. Still, compared to Apple's Built-in editor and Windows built-in movie editor (from Vista Ultimate) this guy includes more formats and features right out of the box. And once again, for what you get this is really a great value in software.
Definitely check this out. The Corel site has some clips and information to get you more used to the kinds of things you can produce.
Enjoy!!!
EVEN I CAN DO IT! June 14, 2008

If you're looking for expert opinion - do not read another word. I'm very far from an expert re computers and software (say as far as from Texas to the moon). A really challenged computer person, I'm usuallyreluctant to try anything new or different. It makes my day when I can log on and travel about, send and receive emails, and search.
Nonetheless, I'm here to say that this worked for me. I have nothing with which to compare it because this was my first time to try any sort of video enhancement or editing. I used to envy all the folks who put up their videos on YouTube and never really dreamed that I'd be able to do it. Granted, I did have a little help but after the initial lesson everything went smoothly.
I like very much the ease with which we can share movies and pictures with relatives and friends on various devices. Why, I can even do voices and add special effects.
Who would have ever believed that I could do this? Certainly not my husband!
