For those of you who own this software, how do you enjoy working with it? Any Pro and Con's? Would you recommend this software to beginners?

I don't know what kind of background you have regarding video editing software; if you're a beginner, Sony Movie Studio has a simplified mode (Which is already way more advanced and significantly more complicated than Windows Movie Maker and iMovie on the iPhone) ~ this should be sufficient for many editing needs such as putting in title cards, inserting transitions, managing different video clips/audio tracks/still images, etc. I found that Sony Movie Studio is more versatile than Pinnacle Studio 17 Plus since it comprises of multiple independent software packages that are more comprehensive in breadth and depth. Pinnacle Studio is entirely usable and the main application is easier to install/get started with but I personally prefer Movie Studio since I was disappointed with the sound-editing functions in Pinnacle. For really simple videos eg. stringing some still photos, title cards, and video snippets together, I found Pinnacle to be a little bit more intuitive.

I could never get it to work, and I returned it. The software was the problem. I called the company but they never returned my call or emails, so I got a refund. Good luck. Wild Bill

Sorry can't help. I have this software but have never tried it. I import into Lightroom and work there.

I used the software only for a few days and it locked up. I reinstalled and it worked for a few days and locked up. Someone said you can only install this software one time and then you need technical help from Corel. So no help with software.

I have never used that software. It works great with Rosetta Stone. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I've never used Silhouette personally. This software is tailored for the beginner with some advanced components. But it's not the most intuitive software to use. You can find decent tutorials but sometimes not help with exactly what you want to do. More often then not i produce what i want in photoshop and import.

I downloaded it too. Could get in but found it impossible to work with. Nothing like my older version. I took it out and am so disappointed with Print Master.

I'm not positive about that specific question, because I bought it for my son, not for myself. I will tell you what he said after he tried using it..."it's a piece of crap and the software is horrible".

I ran the software in a Windows VM on Mac OSX. It's been a while since I set it up, but I probably did it that way because there was no OSX version. Hope this helps.

I have used my version with every program except Vista. I still love this program. I have used mine exclusively for old photos. This program probably would not suit someone who does professional photography.

I know the lay out a little bit already after learning some of the Photoshop Elements layout. I haven't found it too complicated and here is the reason. I watched about 20 hrs. of Tutorials on You Tube and adobe TV. Anthony Morganti, Tim Grey, Robert Rodriquez Jr. (make sure it's Jr.) and others I can't remember the name of right this minute. There is a lady on Adobe TV (free too) that goes through the whole program, one thing at a time. B & H puts free tutorials on You Tube to promote sales. I just sat and watched them "develop" their pictures and enjoyed it. After awhile I became familiar with the program tools for developing and can do quite a bit with it just from watching other people work. It's a great program. Photoshop will do a lot of stuff that Lightroom won't do and Lightroom does a really good job bringing out the best in your photo's. I would say you probably are going to need both programs eventually. If you shop around you can find Lightroom for around a hundred and Elements for a little less. Both compliment each other nicely. Lightroom was the most important for me and it's not a pixel editor so it is non-destructive to the images. Photoshop Elements will allow you to play with the photo's, copy and past thing form one picture into another, edit badly damaged photo's and a whole lot of stuff. Lightroom allows color manipulation, sharpening, all kinds of enhancements to you pictures. I think it was pretty easy to learn the way I did it. Just watching videos until I understood the basics, then playing with it, then going back and watching specific tutorials on certain things when I need to.

A software release version 1.1.2 came out last year, I believe. I updated to it earlier this year and it is a lot more stable.

It's a great package ........ but does take time to get to grips with for more complex sites. It really depends what you want to produce on your site. There is a fantastic team of guys who 'help' via a forum - they are unbelievably good! I love SiteSpinner, as it does so much more and is more versatile than so many other packages I tried.

Sorry I haven't used that feature yet.... Did you consult the company? Go to their website and see... The manual there is also pretty awesome, it's huge!

I have written software for over 45 years, retired now. This is by far the best software I have ever bought. I have 2 licenses for it. The most comprehensive package, can be complex, just have to take things slow. I can help out if need be.

I bought this and currently am running it on Windows 8.1. I've used this with Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator CC. It works really well. The only thing that I've run into, but haven't looked into the issue in the settings, is that I've been using it with Dual Monitors, and the pen area spans both monitors, which is odd. I'm hoping there is a setting option that would allow it to lock to a specific monitor. But like I said, I haven't really looked into it. My overall thoughts on the product are that I enjoy it, and it's worked great for me.
