Other annoyances include the fact that you can’t fast forward and rewind from the scene preview window, and the zoom facility on the timeline is not nearly powerful enough. Load times are cripplingly slow and, unless you’re using a NASA computer, previewing complex edits can be horrible experience, with clips and audio jumping and lagging frequently.
The main problem with VideoStudio has always been its strain on your system memory and unfortunately this doesn’t seem to have been addressed properly in this version. There’s no doubt that with a little practice, you can conjure up some good looking creations with this package, but you’re sure to experience a few setbacks along the way. The user interface doesn't do too bad a job at making all of these features easy to tap into, but it will still take most virgin film producers a while to grasp the basics. The program certainly boasts some decent editing features and effects, including an extended storyboard to view and organize scenes (alongside the ubiquitous timeline), easy freeze frame options, an extra large preview window, customizable title and text templates, multiple audio tracks to allow for voice narration and a music score (along with a balancer to make sure your levels are never off), and built-in instrumental scores to fit the length of your movie.
