Pinnacle will probably have a Windows 7 certified version of Studio by then. Usually when there is a new OS, prices are set unusually high to capture early adopter cash. You will have to wait a few months before you see Pinncle Studio selling at a price it's worth. I never buy a new Pinnacle release until a few months after release for that reason, plus they generally have a Studio service pack for all the bugs in the initial product. Pinnacle is well known for poor quality in first releases.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/pinnacle-13#post-50237 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:48:00 +0000 Tomsde 50237@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>After doing some snooping on the Pinnacle Systems forums, there is a lot of buzz that there will be a new version of PS coming out next month. They will call it Pinnacle Studio 14. I was considering buying a bunch of add ons that they have for 1/2 price--but I'm not going to as I will not be sure what will still be compatible with the next versions. I've also seen mark downs on Pinnacle Studio 12 itself. </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/pinnacle-13#post-50154 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 19:51:20 +0000 Tomsde 50154@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I doubt they'll call it 13--unlucky number--but I suspect that something is brewing since they just marked down all the Pinnacle Studio add ons to half price for the rest of the month.  Usually when they start dramatically discounting the current version a new version isn't far behind.</p> <p>I do hope they add more video tracks to the next version!</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/pinnacle-13#post-49358 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 01:46:26 +0000 Road Runner 49358@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> It has been a year now since Pinnacle released  version 12.  I have seen nothing hinting at a new relaease yet, but has anyone got an inside track on a new release, maybe Pinnacle 13?</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-entry-level-but-decent-hd-camcorder#post-45648 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 01:27:21 +0000 EarlC 45648@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Dunno specifically a model to recommend - still using the Canon XL1 with interchangeable lens capabilities, but never got around to "interchanging" any lenses. Go figure. In my case, considering SD production, I'd been better off spending less and having 3 GL2 Canons, instead of 2 XL1 and 1 GL2.</p> <p>Anyway that was/is, sort of, my point. Do you really, REALLY need (or just want, or THINK you need interchangeable lenses?) because you're going to spend closer to $7k or thereabouts to get that function, from what I remember reading different places.</p> <p>My focus is the Panasonic SDHC recordable 150 and its recently released JVC competitor. I simply do not have a serious need for interchangeable lens options - not at the premium at which they come. I seriously doubt you're going to find interchangeable at $2K, but heck, I have been wrong before.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-entry-level-but-decent-hd-camcorder#post-45633 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:29:14 +0000 krazykid035 45633@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&lt;p class="post"&gt;</p> <p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>I am new to this technology so to get right down to it... </p> <p>We are wanting to purchase an HD video camera that is going to be<br /> used for taking video of live products such as commercial embroidery<br /> machines, etc.  We are also going to need to be able to video a person<br /> being interviewed and NEED to be able to integrate video from a PC<br /> screen into the video.  I have seen cameras that have a cable that go<br /> right into the pc to capture the video.</p> <p> Another requirement would be the ability to have interchangable<br /> lens and remote microphone.
