Product Description:
Ulead VideoStudio DV 5.0 is a complete consumer video editing application that allows users to capture and edit video through USB Instant Video. Designed with an intuitive interface for beginners, VideoStudio also includes powerful functionality such as batch capture, and scene detection for easy video acquisition, and storyboard and timeline modes.

Amazon.com Review:
With more and more folks diving into the joys and challenges of digital video editing at home, VideoStudio 5 offers the aspiring videographer the latest in digital video technologies in an easy to utilize package. Presenting itself as movie-making software for everyone, VideoStudio is designed to reduce the learning curve while improving upon the previous version's capability to create fairly sophisticated videos and output them in a variety of useful formats.

VideoStudio 5 comes with two CDs--the program itself, and a content CD of source material. In addition to VideoStudio, the program CD will also install QuickTime, Windows Media Format, RealPlayer, and Acrobat Reader. VideoStudio 5 supports the IEEE 1394, or FireWire, video capture card; but, if you have Windows NT, FireWire cards are not supported. You can use one of a number of other capture cards if this is the case. If you have a FireWire card and a DV camcorder, this means smooth plug-and-play operation. Just connect your DV camera and, with a couple of mouse clicks, you're controlling playback of your camera, capturing video directly to your hard drive.

In fact, several new enhancements of VideoStudio 5 improve upon the video capture capabilities. For example, there is now automatic plug-and-play capture device detection. VideoStudio will recognize most DV cameras when plugged in, and select the appropriate capture plug-in, eliminating the need to restart the application and manually select the plug-in. There is now support for batch video capture, an extremely useful tool for capturing multiple sections of the same tape in one pass. Just set the mark in and out points of all the scenes you wish to capture, run batch capture, and go make coffee or change Junior's diapers while the footage is imported. New scene change detection will recognize date and time changes of an AVI-formatted DV video file, and break it into multiple clips, as in many cases these breaks indicate a content or scene change. This speeds up the organization of your source footage.

Other new features include video filters, such as emboss, mosaic, and oil paint, that can be applied to clips directly. Titling has also improved, allowing for basic or 3-D-style text with transparency, edges, and shadows. An important enhancement in light of the popularity of video streaming over the Internet is support for the latest video streaming protocols like RealVideo and Windows Media files. You can also edit in MPEG-2 format, for DVD-quality video, and export to QuickTime, AVI, and other file formats.

VideoStudio 5 continues to improve on Ulead's elegant, if slightly overdesigned, application. The goal is clearly to present a user interface that is as fun to look at as it is easy to use and create with. Ultimately, the latter is what really matters, and to this end VideoStudio succeeds. --John Bosch

- Not User Friendly
I received Video Studio 5 with my Firewire controller. I am extremely disappointed in this program. It is not user friendly in any way. There are tips and step by step instructions, but they are unclear and not precise. I spent almost an hour trying to insert a transition between 2 frames. The directions give 2 methods of performing this action. The first method- clicking the selected transition and dragging it doesn't work at all. You can drag it everywhere on the screen EXCEPT in between two frames. ... Read More

- Totally *un*intuitive interface
Tried to use the LE version which came with a Firewire card - after an hour I gave up in frustration. ...the user interface is not at all intuitive. I found myself having to constantly refer to the documentation to figure out simple tasks like capturing video from my camcorder or opening a file. Not reccomended.

- Difficult to use
I received Ulead Video Studio Version 5.0 with my 1394 adapter card. I find it very difficult to use.
As a user of Windows XP, I could only get it to run for users designated as PC Administrator. Limited Users could not run the software.
I did not find it to be intuitive to use even though each menu item across the top provides an illustrative picture and sequence of steps.
It appears on the surface to be easy to use however I had problems with editing clips and music. It appears it has ... Read More

- Worst Interface Ever = 0 stars
This program has one of the worst user interfaces ever. The team at Ulead definitely skipped the software developement process that tests average people (people that didn't directly write-code the program) using thier program.

The interface is their own design. Missing is the HELP button! No standard buttons are featured. The program has no help, rather it pops up everytime you do something and you have to fumble around for a G circle thing button where you turn help off, otherwise it pops ... Read More

- Atrocious Interface
I've only had the program a few days but I believe I am qualified to give an "out of the box experience" report. Ulead decided to ignore 10 years of Windows interface standardization and created the least intuitive product I have used in 15 years of computing.

For ex: The normal drop down menu bar at the top of the screen is missing. Preferences are changed by clicking on a button marked "G"(?). You open files by clicking a round button with a star on it. It's like getting into a car and finding ... Read More
