Pinnacle Studio MovieBox

Videoguys' Insider - Power User Mike Shaw on Pinnacle Studio 9

Mike is a long time Pinnacle Studio user, going all the way back to the Studio 400. He's been a long time friend of the Videoguys and can be found participating in many on line forums.

Mike runs a really cool UK based website for Pinnacle users. http://www.mikeshaw.co.uk It began as a Studio users site, but he has recently added several excellent articles on Pinnacle's new Liquid Edition software. His Edition for Studio users article is a MUST read for anyone migrating up from Studio.

We are very fortunate to have Mike as the author for our first Videoguys' Insider Power User Story. I think old, new and future Studio users will find this article very informative. Click here to read his in depth review of Studio 9!

Both Studio MovieBox products connect to the PC using the latest high-speed inter-connection standards which makes them easy to install and use. “With these two external solutions, we are not only providing the flexibility to work with most video formats, we are making video editing easier and more accessible for all consumers who might be uncomfortable installing an internal capture board, or who want to connect in a minute to any laptop or desktop PC.” Said Simon Isted, UK Sales Manager (Consumer Products) at Pinnacle Systems.
The unusual design for Studio MovieBox was created in Germany by FA Porsche. The design is as elegant as it is easy to handle, and very simple to access. Users can leave it on their desks and be ready to start in just a few minutes.

  • MovieBox USB is a capture device that will copy the content of any videotapes (Hi8, VHS, SVHS, DV, etc) onto your PC. With one click, your complete tape-or just your favourite scenes-is directly copied in a DVD quality format.
  • During this capture process, MovieBox USB automatically compresses your video, which saves tremendous space on your hard disk without compromising quality.
  • If you have several PCs at home, MovieBox can be easily moved from PC to PC, including laptops or desktop PCs.

    Archive on any format - VHS, CD or DVD
    Once your home movie has been edited with Pinnacle Studio 8, you have multiple choices for storing and archiving your movies:

  • copy them back to your camcorder tapes or onto VHS tapes that you can send to your relatives;
  • burn them on unalterable CDs that you can watch on most recent DVD players*. If you plan to acquire a DVD burner in the future, Studio 8 lets you also burn movies on professional quality DVDs.
