Hot Toast of the Day | Corel VideoStudio Pro X2

Selling at 50% the usual price at Amazon, if you are in need of some great editing software for video, Corel Video Studio Pro X2 is supposed to be a veritable mecca for video editing. 

Pros - With full HD video support, this software should appeal to home video fans.  Tons of transitions make this popular, including the montage effect, which gives your video a real professional look.  The PIP effect is really sleek looking.  Overall the program has a fairly short learning curve.

Cons - You may be wondering, sounds great, but why do I want to switch from Windows Movie Maker or Apple IMovie.  Some people may not want to switch, because they are so used to the interface of those programs.  The one con that many emphasize is the overall slow speed of the program - it takes a while to install, to run, etc... so it may require some patience on your end.

Bottom Line - Powerful editing tool, especially for the price of $50 - for the aficionados, this is a perfect fit, though it may not fit for novice video editors.  Especially with the advent of HD video, this is one of the best options out there to produce great HD video. With more options than Movie Maker and IMovie, it can give you an edge that others may not have.  Be wary of the slow running speed at times, which may be a turn off for some people.
