37 Jahre, Einzelhandelskaufmann Jürgen Tschapke und sein Bruder Ingo wollten ihren beiden gemeinsamen Hobbies Video und Skating verbinden. Zuerst standen langen Drehaufnahmen an und durch die Unterlegung mit Musik und den Schnitt wird daraus ein interessanter Film. Die Bedienfreundlichkeit und die hervorragende Qualität der Pinnacle Studio begeisterte ihn. Er kam sofort damit zurecht.

"Das Pinnnacle Schnittsystem bietet mir alles was ich brauche zu einem extrem fairen Preis."
42 Jahre, Personalleiter Martin Espenhahn ist Personalleiter in einem größeren Unternehmen. Zum Videoschnitt kam er durch sein Hobby, dem Gleitschirmfliegen. Er besitzt eine Digitalkamera und wollte Sport und Urlaub dokumentieren. Für Pinnacle hat er sich entschieden, nachdem er sich über Videoschnittsysteme informiert hat und ihn die Pinnacle ProONE sofort überzeugt hatte.

"Für mein Hobby ist ein Videobearbeitungssystem notwendig, da nicht jede Aufnahme, bedingt durch Geräusche, Start und Landung, sitzt. Pinnacle hat mich durch das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und die Bedienbarkeit des Bearbeitungssystems überzeugt."

Dans les fêtes de famille ou pendant les vacances Dans les fêtes de famille ou pendant les vacances, Jos a systématiquement une caméra à portée de main. Pour réaliser ses films, il s’est toujours équipé avec les outils de son temps. S’il possédait une caméra Super 8 dans les années 70, V8 dans les années 80, ce retraité hyperactif a aujourd’hui choisi une caméra numérique. Pour le montage, son choix s’est alors porté sur une carte Studio.

Sharing Memories With Video Hadnall, Shropshire

When John retired, he bought a computer to keep his brain occupied. Amazed by all the activities he could carry out using his camcorder and computer together, he has now become an enthusiastic videographer. His most recent project has been producing a film of his holiday in Canada, which he shares with family and friends.

"Studio DV was recommended by my dealer" said John. "It has digital facilities, is easy to use, has a Firewire connection, and provides transitions that add sparkle to a video. It has opened up a whole new world, and I didn’t have to be a technical genius to operate it."

Travelling The World Danbury, Essex

When Vic retired life really began to get busy! Amongst his many interests is an enthusiasm for photography, and in recent years he has progressed from cine to DV cameras, recording film from his many trips abroad. Fed up with the tedium of editing reel-to-reel, Vic was ready to give up, when he heard about he Studio DV.

"I looked at a number of systems, and decided Studio DV was the best one," said Vic. "It is easy to assemble a movie, and amongst the many features are a huge number of sound effects, so if you have footage of a church, for example, you can add the sound of bells ringing. It is now so easy to assemble a movie, and there's no doubt that using this Pinnacle product improves home videos immeasurably."
