Software update: Pinnacle Studio 8.7.1 beta
Pinnacle has released a new version of its video editing software Pinnacle Studio and numbered it 8.7.1. The release is a beta, which means that Pinnacle does not provide support for the software. In addition, the company hopes you’ll file a bug report if the program transports some of your bits to the perpetual bandwidths. However, there is also something in return: where the software normally contains a trial time, this is not the case in this download:
This beta does not expire. It should but it doesn’t[break]The significant jump in version number since the previous release, 8.5.21, is due to the following improvements:[/break]
- Should no longer have red titles when cutting and pasting
- Editing a title immediately after opening Studio should no longer cause TitleDeko to crash
- Improved alignment and justification functions in TitleDeko
- Studio should now be able to create more than 190 chapter points automatically
- No longer erroneously reports “Wrong Media Type” when no media is needed
- Improved virtual remote navigation in DVD simulation. Arrow buttons didn’t work previously with some projects
- TitleDeko now remembers user selected default colors for fonts
- Fixed a clip focus issue with Storyboard view that could lead to gaps in the video timeline (and therefore rendering problems)
- Improved stability with dual processor systems
- Studio can now compile discs with more than 99 chapters
- Fixed an issue that could lead to some VCD projects hanging during creation
- Fixed an issue that could lead to some VCD projects failing to write a complete disc
- PAL DVDs can no longer have NTSC menus
- Capture filenames no longer get truncated (for example: “Capture.One” no longer gets truncated to just “Capture”
- Analog audio capture default device should no longer revert to “Phone Line”
- Disc menus are no longer active in the preview window during render
- Copying and pasting sections of a project should no longer create gaps in the video timeline
- Improved editing/scrubbing with MPEG files for less sluggishness
