Great video editing software, does everything I needed and more!
Haven’t used the photo part yet but am sure it will be of the same quality.

I received my box and found that the Corel box was already opened by someone else, I also found that the two disc were severly scratched. . and yes. . once I tried to install my laptop could not read CD’s, I called Corel and they said they couldnt help me as I did not purchase from them directly. . I was very upset and called back a second time days later. I asked for a manager and they said they could send me new discs if I could prove I purchased within 7 days with receipt, Once I scanned and sent them proof of purchase they sent me new discs and they installed and I have been using Corel for about a month. It’s a great program for the price. . However Im not sure if Amazon shipped me a used/damaged produst or not but Corel made it right and I would recomend the product. . .

This review applies to AVCHD editting.
I have been using ulead video for long time and decided to upgrad to “better version”. This version was called video 12 when I installed in my PC. PC was HP Pentium quad core 9300 with Window 7. The software did not have a burn button to burn AVCHD disk. I tried to install with window Vista; the AVCHD disk can be played back on PS3 or panasonic blue ray player. I have to goes back to Ulead video 11. 5 plus and everything is OK.

Corel Pro Photo X2 Ultimate is pretty good. There are are couple of features that I am not crazy about.

The first one is the select ion tool. When I use the selection tool and paste the item as a new selection and click on the image, it promotes the image as a new layer. I hate this.

Crtrl-Y does work as expected. I expect this as a Redo. So this is a paint.

Other than that it work pretty well.

It did crash now and then when I use the digital noise removal feature.

Now for Video Studio – This product is OK at best. It was stable, but lacks much versatility that I expected from a product that I had to paid for. I could have stayed with the Movie Maker from MS. For example, I could not adjust the fading of my music. What’s up with that?

I couldn’t figure out how to make a hybrid DVD.

I admit, I did not read the manual. However, I feel I am savy enough that I can figure out the product.

My advice is to not buy the bundle but just the Photo. The video is not worth the cost.
