Determining this would require either detailed research, or a knowledge of the inner workings of the software. To what extent Pinnacle Studio minimizes the number of resamplings, I don't know. Pinnacle Studio allows cascading of effects, but generally it is best to use only a single module to perform as many functions as possible, especially when changing the shape, rotation or size of an image - requiring resampling the image, and with each resampling, there is a loss of image quality. Some parameters of these modules are available as other independent modules for example, Pan and Zoom and Rotate, both available under the Camera heading in the Effects Editor. Particularly unfortunate is that the height and width parameters cannot be linked to one another, even though it is usual to resize an image by the same amount in both height and width. Its parameters are like those of the PinP function in Pinnacle Studio 15 and earlier.

Studio PiP is the least capable of these modules.

3D Editor GPU, while less versatile than 3D Editor CPU, shares with it the ability to rotate an image around a horizontal or vertical axis, or a point (or in-between axes, by using more than one at the same time), but can't move an axis off-center.

Repositioning the axis away from the center enables "flipping pages" or "swinging gates" effects. Rotating around a horizontal axis allows an intuitive transition between a rear-view-mirror view and a looking-to-the-rear view, very useful in my traffic videos. It can get complicated, especially if you use the Camera function.

3D Editor CPU is the most versatile of all of these modules, including almost all capabilities of all the others, and some additional ones as well.

There is also a long list of "quality" settings, essentially affecting the appearance of focus or defocus.

2D Editor CPU offers many ways to control borders and a wide range for positioning and resizing.

It has the fewest features of any of these modules except Studio PiP.

2D Editor Advanced isn't as advanced as its name suggests.

Some general comments about each of the modules: I suspect that this results from the need to achieve compatibility when converting data from different legacy applications. Some parameters have different ranges and work in opposite directions in different modules. The table below lists the parameters of each of each of the five modules. Pinnacle Studio 15 and earlier are a very different product.

(Message to marketeers: "Ultimate" means the last, greatest, most spectacular, ever, but a new, even more Ultimate version of Pinnacle Studio comes out about once a year.)Ī lower-cost version, Pinnacle Studio Plus appears to have the same picture in picture effects, while the entry-level plain Pinnacle Studio lacks the ability to use keyframes to change an effect over time.Īvid Studio (no longer sold) is very similar to Pinnacle Studio 16. There is an additional Multi-Shape PIP module, which can produce a polygonal or star-shaped PiP, but it is different enough that I'm not covering it here. There is no way to convert among these modules. Be careful in choosing which module you will use.

It is important to know about all of these modules in order not to be caught up with one of them which lacks a desired feature. Some are easier to use, and others provide a wealth of options. The five modules have many features in common, but also important differences. These applications have five different modules which produce picture-in-picture effects, all under the 2D-3D heading in the Effects Editor. I examined Pinnacle Studio 16 Ultimate, but the new version 17 appears not to have changed the effects available in the Effects Editor. This page is a companion to my page reviewing Pinnacle Studio Ultimate and its predecessor, Avid Studio Ultimate video editing software.
