Our take on the Videostudio Pro v.X5.0 Ultimate

Corel VideoStudio Pro X5 Ultimate is consumer video editing software for Windows PCs. It covers capture, multi-track editing, effects, disc authoring and sharing, and the Ultimate bundle adds extra effects and plug-ins on top of the base editor. It suits home and hobby videographers who want a guided, template-driven workflow rather than a professional NLE. Against rivals like Adobe Premiere Elements and Sony Movie Studio it is generally seen as easier to learn but less precise for advanced editing.
