If you're a serious video editing enthusiast,
you'll find that Ulead MediaStudio Pro is right up your alley.
Ulead MediaStudio Pro is a complete digital
video editing suite. It incorporates features like real-time MPEG capture,
preview and output.
There's also a set of tools for painting
videos, graphics and audio editing. Finally, the inclusion of a DVD
authoring feature allows you to easily share your completed video with
others (on tape, DVD or the Web).
If you have a powerful enough
machine MediaStudio Pro will render some effects in real-time. The real-time
software options include 50 real-time filters and 100 transition effects.
MediaStudio Pro 7 also boasts MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 capture, a new audio mixer, and
several other cool new features.
Scan
DV Tape feature
MediaStudio Pro 7 has a new Scan DV Tape
feature which I think is an excellent tool. It prescans a video tape, finds the
individual clips, and places a thumbnail of each in a digital video album. You
can then capture all the clips at one go when you need them.
Automatic
Slideshow Creation
One very impressive feature of MediaStudio Pro
7 is the ability to automatically create slideshows. You can use still digital
images or videos to create each slideshow. If you wish, you can also get into
the video timeline and set cues to synchronize the slideshow to your musical
soundtrack.
Enhanced
Video Editor
The MediaStudio Pro timeline-based video editor
allows you to make use of powerful editing and titling features. In addition,
there is a huge library of video filters, motion paths and transitions which
will help spice up any video.
CG Infinity
and Video Paint
CG Infinity is a fully-integrated, vector-based
motion graphics generator that helps you create graphics and animated titles
easily. Video Paint allows you to create special effects or retouch your video
across a range of frames.
New Audio
Mixer
The new audio mixer is an important addition to
MediaStudio Pro. You can now record mixer adjustments in real-time while you
preview your videos. In addition, there is a wealth of with pro-level effects
and controls to satisfy the audio engineer in you.
Video
Conversion
Do you need to convert your digital video tapes
to DVDs or share them on the Web? MediaStudio Pro now allows conversion of video
to MPEG-2 or WMV format on the fly during capture. If you mass produce a lot of
video content on DVD or on websites, this feature will save you a lot of time.
DVD
Authoring
MediaStudio Pro now includes a full-featured
DVD authoring tool. You can output your video as DVD discs, complete with scene
selection menus, navigation buttons and intro videos. Support for VCD and SVCD
creation is also included.

On the whole, I'd recommend Ulead MediaStudio Pro on the basis of it's excellent features. These include the
improved video and audio editors, alcapture/logging tool, the real-time DV out,
as well as support for AC3 audio encoding. With built-in DVD authoring, sharing
