This complete training Windows DVD Rom, makes the promise to give the beginner to the intermediate users of Pinnacle Studio 11 a solid foundation to get them moving with more ease through the Video Editing software Pinnacle Studio 11. Makes the claim and delivers better than I had expected. I have seen too many tutorial programs tend to be a bit cumbersome when it came to figuring out what you wanted to accomplice and meetings those ends. Not so with Complete Training for Pinnacle Studio 11 from Class on Demand. The front end DVD menu makes navigating through the lessons a breeze, even if you want to..GASP... skip a couple of the lessons. You have complete control of the videos lessons. You can easily and quickly move to any lesson, start or stop, and repeat at will. To tell you the truth I would not recommend skipping any, I came in a little jaded. Having some basic to intermediate back ground in video editing I thought this would be a nice little gimmick for the beginner at best. Color me surprised when I actually learned a few things I did not know I could even do with Pinnacle. Yea I admit it. The teaching DVD Rom has all the right stuff in a comprehensive easy flowing presentation that in the end offers much in value if you're looking to learn about getting your editing chops with Pinnacle Studio 11. For those that learn by seeing, this DVD will assist in gaining confidence with the editing software.

complete training for pinnacle 12
Class on Demand: Complete Training for Pinnacle Studio 11 and 12: Pinnacle Educational Tutorial Training DVD
Great training video. I learned alot before I received the video (trial and error). But I had not begun to see what I could really do, until I started watching the video.It is GREAT!!!!!!

Good Instruction
For a very un artistic guy-this helps a great deal and is very well laid out. Worth the money for sure. Maybe someday I'll make a real movie. Unfortunately all I can think of after watching this is how to make a comedy...

A+

Class On Demand is the BEST investment you will make!
I purchased the Complete Training for Pinnacle Studio 11 and 12 and it helped me develop the expertise I needed to edit real estate videos quickly. It's absolutely one of the best investments I've made since I started my real estate company. Forget the structured classes; if you need training and Class on Demand has the course, BUY IT! Absolutely the best and fastest way to learn! I just ordered the Advanced Course for Pinnacle Studio, and I'm beginning to think that using a real power NLE like Media Composer won't be that difficult with Class on Demand's help!
