Even those simple actions take several seconds to appear, though. But there are no buttons to take you to the beginning and end of your project.
#ASHAMPOO HDR PROJECTS 4 REVIEW MOVIE#
The video preview window (in Expert view) show the movie timecode with hour:minute:second:frame, and offers playback tools for proceeding back or forward one or 15 frames at a time. You can adjust the size of the panels, though you cannot snap them off into independent panels, as you can with Vegas Movie Studio and Pinnacle Studio.īelow the source panel at top left, you do have buttons to switch that panel's view between Media Library, Transitions, Text, Intros + Credits, Video Effects, Audio, and Animation. The interface is reasonably touch-friendly, with buttons that fit finger taps, but I couldn't drag clips to rearrange them in storyboard mode with my finger on a touch screen. And in either, you can drag and drop video and photo files into the source panel or simply click the Add Files… button to pick them from Windows File Explorer. Neither interface mode has a standard menu bar across the top, with File, Edit, and so on. There's only one track for video, along with tracks for effects, transitions, object animations, text, and audio. Ctrl-Mouse Wheel lets you easily zoom in and out the timeline scale. Big Undo and Redo buttons are useful, but they don't appear in the trimming interface. In the three-panel view-source content top left, timeline/storyboard across the bottom, and preview video window top right-plus sign buttons let you add to the timeline, though oddly they add clips to the beginning rather than the end of the movie project. The storyboard view includes buttons for trimming, effects, audio, and subtitles, so it's actually more powerful than some competitors' storyboard views, which don't offer as many editing options. The difference is basically that the former shows you a thumbnail storyboard view of your project and the latter a track timeline view. The first two options for starting projects are Simple mode and Expert mode.

The startup interface is as simple and clear as it gets: Big tile buttons let you Create a new project, Create a project using a Theme wizard, open an existing project, cut commercials, and convert movies.

Happily, the update adds some nice features, including SRT subtitle support, simplified guidance, and other improvements. After I did this, I had to download a small update (even though I'd just installed it from a fresh download).

Unlike most competitors, Ashampoo doesn't offer multiple levels of the product with varying feature sets the base version is the only option. Pricing and Getting StartedĪshampoo Movie Studio Pro 3 is well on the low end of commercial video editing software: Its list price is $59.99, but that's been permanently reduced to at least $29-at press time it's only $19 on the Ashampoo site. That said, Ashampoo Movie Studio Pro 3 lacks most of the advanced tools found in Editors' Choice CyberLink PowerDirector, such as motion tracking, advanced PiP tools, support for new formats like HEVC and 360-degree footage, and multicam editing. One distinguishing feature is its ability to identify and remove ads from your video content.
