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 Ultimate and Studio Ultimate Collection.
Differences between versions will be noted as
applicable. Most of the time, the word “Studio” will be
used generically to refer to all versions. Similarly,
references to “Studio Ultimate” apply also to Studio
Ultimate Collection unless otherwise stated.
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
Guided Tour menu command within the application
itself.
