What's New for Version 18?

64-Bit Performance
64-bit support means Pinnacle can take advantage of more RAM and perform many computation more quickly than is possible with 32-bit. A 64-bit version of Windows is required to take advantage of this feature
XAVC S Support for 4K and HD
You can now import and edit in XAVC S, an MP4-AVC/H.264 codec that is being used in an increasing number of camcorders and photo cameras that shoot video. Pinnacle Studio Ultimate supports XAVC S in resolutions up to UltraHD 4K (3840 x 2160)
Enhanced: Live Screen Capture
Record directly from your screen, capturing both system audio and microphone sound. For version 18, Pinnacle has simplified the process of bringing your captured files to the main timeline to use in movies, presentation, and training videos
NewBlue Bonus Effects
Enhance your movie with over 700 and 55 plugins from NewBlue. Here are just a few of the included plugins:

Motion Blends: Dynamic transition effects that Liquify, Shear, Smear, and Melt one scene to the next

Light Blends: Add light flairs, orbs, rays, strobes, glowing blasts, and other luminous effects. Plugins included Glow Pro, Light Bender, Neon Lights, and Psycho Strobe

Plugins such as Noise Reducer and Chroma Key serve as foundational video enhancement tools to improve your raw footage, while Color EQ, Lens Correction, Picture-in-Picture, and Rack Focus let you add dimension, color, and visual interest to any project

Video Essentials VI:This toolkit features plugins including Saturation Modifier, Picture-in-Shape, Cut Away, and Color Replace, to enhance your video footage while re-focusing and highlighting the details of your story to help achieve your creative vision
