Pinnacle EDITION 5.5

PINNACLE EDITION 5.5 NL (PC) Pinnacle Edition version 5 is unique - it is the first professional editing application to actually incorporate DVD authoring into its workflow. Now making DVDs need not be just a "retrofit" of pre-edited material into lifeless menus. By incorporating DVD creation, Pinnacle Edition version 5 gives you an entirely new set of creative options - for example the ability to resize, reposition and apply a range of effects or filters to moving menus and buttons in a manner which was simply not possible before. To make your initial DVD experience a productive one, Pinnacle Edition version 5 incorporates a host of specially designed, professional DVD templates. Why use specialist hardware acceleration when modern graphics cards can deliver more than 16 times the bandwidth of the PCI bus? To exploit this, Pinnacle has developed a state-of-the-art 3D engine that gives Pinnacle Edition version 5 the most amazing real-time effects capability you've ever seen, when used with any authorized AGP graphics card. And to give you the absolute best of both worlds, Pinnacle Edition version 5 has been engineered to take advantage of whatever CPU power you have available, and seamlessly combine it with the graphics processor to give you a uniquely scalable architecture. No other editing solution can give you so much performance, and so affordably. The AGP graphics card also turbo-charges the real-time performance of the integrated Pinnacle Hollywood FX, which has also been enhanced to give a look and feel consistent with the Pinnacle Edition interface. Pinnacle Hollywood FX gives you even more creative options with a complete range of 3D effects, transitions and animated backgrounds.Pinnacle Edition's distinctive user interface streamlines the editing process with consistent controls, optimized layouts for single and dual monitor display, and a high degree of customizability for icon layout and keyboard shortcuts. Pinnacle Edition version 5 supports resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, with source and program windows displayed at full PAL resolution, and with the option to maximize/minimize inlay size for improved clarity. Video scrubbing has been further enhanced to deliver a super-fluid feel and accurate control, while audio now has two scrubbing modes - analogue and digital.
