Our take on the VideoStudio X5 Pro

Corel VideoStudio Pro X5 is consumer video editing software for Windows. It covers the basics well: multi-track timeline editing, transitions, titles, filters and DVD and Blu-ray authoring. It suits home users who want a guided editor with templates rather than a professional suite. Against rivals like Adobe Premiere Elements and Sony Movie Studio, it is known for its broad format support and its screen-recording and disc-authoring tools, while reviewers find its interface busier and its performance slower on long or high-definition projects.
