Before you start
Thank you for purchasing Pinnacle Studio. We
hope you enjoy using the software.
This manual covers all versions of Studio,
including Studio Plus. Differences between
versions will be noted as applicable. Most of the
time, the word “Studio” will be used generically to
refer to all versions.
If you have not used Studio before, we recommend
that you keep the manual handy for reference even
if you don’t actually read it all the way through.
In order to ensure that your Studio experience gets
off on the right foot, please review the three topics
below before continuing to Chapter 1: Using
Studio.
Also highly recommended to new users is the
Studio Tutorial. To launch the Tutorial, click its
link on the “splash” screen when you start Studio,
or use the Help ¾ Guided Tour menu command
within the application itself.
