Pinnacle Studio vs Roxio Toast

Pinnacle Studio is Windows desktop software for creating and editing movies, with video capture and screen recording through MultiCam Capture Lite. Standard supports HD export, six video and audio tracks, and multicamera editing with up to two cameras. Ultimate supports HD and 4K export, unlimited tracks, and editing with up to six cameras; it also adds video masking, smart object and motion tracking, blend modes, 360° editing, and full color grading. Both editions include audio editing, voiceover recording, royalty-free music and sound effects, DVD authoring, and a slideshow maker. Export options include common video formats and devices, as well as web export to YouTube, Flickr, and Vimeo. A 15-day trial is available, but trial exports carry a watermark; there is no free plan. The software requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, at least 4 GB RAM, and 10 GB of disk space. Installation, registration, and updates require an internet connection, and registration is required for use. Blu-ray authoring needs a separately purchased plug-in.
