Pinnacle has come out with the next generation of their popular Studio line of video editing software. I purchased Studio 11 Ultimate which allows me to do the following:
1. Capture from analog and digital sources
2. Assisted movie creation with SmartMovie
3. Video and audio restoration tools
4. Pan & Zoom for animation of still pictures
5. Real-Time effects with preview
6. Works with Windows Vista (even though I'm smart enough not to!)
7. Scaling user interface
8. HiFi music generation
9. Instant transfer from tape to DVD with Instant DVD Recorder
10. Built-in DVD Authoring and Burning
11. One click web upload to Yahoo Video
12. Private web sharing with StudioOnLine.com
13. Export videos to iPod, Sony PSP or DivX
14. HDV and AVCHD native editing
15. HD DVD from standard discs
16. PIP and Chromakey effects
17. Keyframeable effects
18. Dolby 5.1 Encoding
19. Powerful film looks and FX
20. Advanced sound cleaning
21. Precision pan and zoom
22. Green screen
I've had great success with the program so far. It's much more stable than any previous release of Studio since Studio 9.

Another video import option
Many computer users do not have the technical experience (or the equipment) to import their video footage into their computer. This is especially true of older computer or cheaper models, many of which do not have a firewire port.
The Studio MovieBox Plus is a good option. Using a high speed 2.0 USB connection to the computer, the MovieBox allows users to capture video from both analog sources (such as a VCR) or DV sources (such as digital video cameras).
The Studio MovieBox Plus also comes with Pinnacle's Studio software which allows for the editing of the video footage.
Please note: the quality of the video import will be directly related to the speed of your computer and the quality of your video card. If your computer is too slow or the video card too old, you may run into problems with the audio and the video not synching up (your movie will look like a dubbed Japanese horror movie).
