“Whether you’re looking to impress your audience with a polished 360 video or catch all the action at your child’s soccer game with an exciting multi-cam shoot, Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate can help you go beyond the typical and create an extraordinary movie,” added Yavercovski.

Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate innovates with even more creative 4K movie making options:

Multi-point motion tracking lets you track multiple points of an object as it approaches or moves away from a lens for greater precision.

• New! Easy Track Transparency: Adjust the opacity of tracks directly on the timeline, creating an overlay effect where both tracks are visible at the same time.

• New! HEVC (H.265) Support: Keep pace with the latest formats with new support for HEVC (H.265) import/export and get a higher compression rate, better quality and a smaller file size. (Requires supporting PC hardware or graphics card.)

• New! Stop Motion Animation Camera Support: Take advantage of new support for popular Canon or Nikon DSLR cameras to create big screen-style animations and full-HD stop motion videos.

• Enhanced! Picture-in-Picture: Creating unique picture-in-picture effects is easy. Adjust the size and location of the picture-in-picture by simply dragging corners.

• Enhanced! Pan and Zoom: Now add the pan and zoom effect to photos and videos in a few clicks with new presets.
