I Just Bought Pinnacle!

Yeah it's pretty nice, had it myself for a while.
Let me know how it works for you.
 
Sounds like you're having fun :)
Enjoy!

I had an older version, so i don't know what the newer one can do.
I remember that it didn't like my dvd writer and that's why I had to get another program. But that was waaay back.
 
I'm trying to save up for a macbook with final cut.

I think I had pinnacle versions 7 and 8 or so.
 
Only mention of a Liquid on their site is Avid Liquid... Is that what it is? If so, that's AWESOME. Avid is a very popular program amongst smaller filmmakers.

EDIT: Okay. I officially want to upgrade my Pinnacle Studio 9+ to Studio 12 Ultimate... I just found a really extensive review for version 12, and... WOW. They have filters so you can mimick film/TV looks for your videos! I've been wanting that for AGES. They talk about it on Page 2:
