I feel I am in an abusive marriage with this product. I know I should walk away - no, run away - but I paid for it and want to get some use out of my money. I'm going to say - no more!!
When it works, the GUI is easy to use. But that is deceptive. Yo do your editting right, but then the software doesn't do what you told it to do.
But it crashes without warning. It locks up. It takes four hours to produce output only then to find problems like a menu that doesn't look as the editting WISIWYG showed, or black screen, or audio out of sync, or ... or ... So, another four hours trying to correct the problem. Then another 4 hours after that. Adding chapter bookmarks can be agonizingly slow. Mark one then wait minutes before it's ready to take the next. Oh - and sometimes after four hours, five hours, six hours, you find the make movie function has simply frozen up, so back to square one. Again.
It is without doubt the least trustworthy software I have ever bought. I upgraded from Studio 8 to Studio 9 thinking that the bugs should have been worked out, even if I had to pay. WRONG.
It sometimes produces adequate output first time, but other times, the problems are infuriating, and far, far too frequent.
OK, so writing software is complex. But don't stop fixing the bugs and leave a user hanging by moving on to an upgrade - at a price - which then has more bugs.
If a car broke down this often, the consumer protection people would be all over the manufacturer.
Do not ignore the overwhelming number of bad reviews. Do not buy this product.
