“I’m the pinnacle, that means I reign supreme,” quoth the bard LL Cool J. “I’m notorious – I’ll crush you like a jellybean.” We don’t know if Pinnacle was inspired by LL’s vaunted ability to eliminate punks and cut ‘em up in chunks, but their Pinnacle Studio Plus 700-USB Video Editor is more than capable of crushing your home movies like a jellybean – a digitally-encoded, DVD-quality jellybean.
Let us set aside the alphabet soup and break it down for you right here. Basically, this thing lets you view, capture, and edit your camcorder footage, digital or analog, including the latest hi-def cameras. Then you can output your video files to a DVD (complete with menu screens, navigation, etc.) or to a personal video player (like Apple iPod, Sony PSP, that kind of thing). Browse the specs below for details – it would make for tedious reading here. Since the Pinnacle 700 does its encoding with software and not hardware, you won’t make the next Pan’s Labyrinth with this thing, but get to know its intricacies and you’ll be the most sophisticated auteur on YouTube.
Pinnacle
makes all kinds of grandiose claims for the included Studio Plus 10.5
software. Pan & zoom with HD clarity! Effects, transitions, titles,
and music! Video cleaning to restore old VHS footage! Image stabilization to reduce shakes ‘n’ jerks! Color correction for poorly-lit video!
But
be warned: you’ll need a reasonably beefy PC to swing all this without
crashing. Don’t even think about it without at least a 2.4 GHz
processor, 1 GB of RAM, an open USB 2.0 port, a DVD-ROM
drive, and a lot of hard-drive space to store your footage. Like, a
bunch of GB. What the hell, let’s say 10 GB at a minimum. It’s a nice
round number. Dare to venture into the Pinnacle’s enchanting videodrome
without the proper equipment, and you’ll end up like all those
crybabies on Amazon moaning on about how the Pinnacle 700 keeps
crashing their pitifully inadequate machines. Mad, drunk, and whiny is no way to go through life, son.
