Um... no it's not free. Getting the product free requires a previously purchased version of Pinnacle Studio or a similar competitor's program. So for 90% of us, the price is $30. Not a bad deal, but still not free.

I have version 10 or 10.5 of this and it works ok for what I use it for...I bit on this deal over the weekend, so as long as I get my rebates I'll be happy...

I wondered if this version crashes as much as the last few versions I owned. Checked the Amazon.com reviews - same old piece os bug ridden software.

#3: well, it does automatically save whenever you change anything, so you won't lose anything when it does crash.

$30..

u get what u pay for!

I like this software. It does crash from time to time, but as #4 said, it saves your progress. What do you want for free??

"It now has AVCHD editing capabilities for your latest HD camcorder videos."

I've been using version 11 for AVCHD output. So whats the difference?

Does this run OK on Vista64? Adobe Elements6/Premiere4 doesn't so I'm stuck with them!

Is this like Final Cut Pro?

#8 are you saying the Adobe products won't run or that they aren't native 64bit?

#9, Studio 10.5 and later run fine on Vista 64. This version is much better than the previous versions 10 and 11. Remember to get the update patch 12.1 from Pinnacle.

#12: how is it much better? From what I read, they didn't actually change anything major with this 12 version.

I knew you read a lot, #13, from what I heard here . The encoding is much faster and it's less buggy in Vista x64.

This is the easiest video software to use. I have made over 150 movies using this software. It can have some bugs at times, but that is usually due to compaitibility issues with the computer. I recommend this for the novice and intermediate. I use this 4 or more times a week.

If you purchase Pinnacle Studio Plus 12 and Nero 9 (also FAR and FS), they each qualify as competitive upgrades for the other. So both products can be had for FREE w/ 4 rebates. They seem to have this deal almost every year about this time. I've never had problems getting paid.

Hey joe_knowitall, did you d/l it from softwxxez.com ? Lots there from you, eh?

I used version 9 of this, and it's OK. But I just picked up Sony Vegas and it is much better. Better interface and so far less buggy.
