Ashampoo Movie Studio Editor's Review

Owing to unprecedented technological innovation and progress, dealing with digital media has become much simpler and quicker than ever before. Earlier, recording video was strictly the domain of studios and professionals used to perform such tasks. However, nowadays, you can find teenagers and college students toting smart phones and tablets capable of recording HD quality video footage. Besides, availability of blazing fast internet at affordable rate has ensured users can download gigabytes of high quality movies and video files. With so much video content at hand, PC users occasionally need to use editing apps. However, not every PC users require a heavy duty and expensive editor like FCP or Adobe’s powerhouse tool Premiere. For casual to moderate video editing needs, you can try out Ashampoo Movie Studio.

Compared to more popular and mainstream video editors in market, Ashampoo Movie Studio costs much less and the installer is also smaller in size. This multilingual app can be installed in PCs running Windows XP and later versions of OSes. You will also have to install Microsoft’s NET Framework 4.0 to run it. A PC with dual core 2 GHz or higher CPU and 2GB RAM would be required and those with higher configuration equipped PCs will benefit. The program supports a plethora of video formats for input like AVI, MPEG, H.264 and WMV. Output formats supported include MPG, AVI and WMV. The installation does not require much time.

The interface of Ashampoo Movie Studio is intuitive and getting hang of things will not be tedious even for beginners. It comes with tools to add video and audio tracks and edit them. You can trim videos, convert them and add special effects as well. Later, you can make a movie with the footage or burn it to disc. Upon starting the app, you have to select from 4 alternatives- Open Project, Convert Files, Cut Commercials and Create Movie. You may opt for the inbuilt Wizard to create movie or go for the manual method. The app also lets you make photo slideshows, which is handy.

While the app supports widely used video formats like WMV and MPEG, it lacks support for few others like flv and MP4. This can annoy a section of users who need to work with multiple video formats. For those formats, you have to acquire external codes and install them. The app will highlight incompatible format videos with yellow exclamation mark and compatible videos can be previewed. Added video files appear on the app’s timeline where they can be edited.

As for video effects, the app has a decent range but they are not exactly high- end or numerous compared to category rivals. You can normalize the audio, tweak display attributes, add retro film effect etc. Adding overlays and texts to video files is also possible. The app also has some handy transition effects in its arsenal. Music tracks can be edited separately which is useful for making photo slideshows. Selecting an option from multiple resolutions for output is possible. The software offers real time preview of footages and that is quite smooth.

Positive Points:
• Affordable, multilingual app.
• Easy to learn, intuitive interface.
• Photo slideshow creation possible.
• Disc burning and multiple resolutions supported.

Negative Points:
• Needs codecs for some popular video formats.
• Range of effects not extensive.

Conclusion:
Ashampoo Movie Studio is targeted mostly at beginners in video editing and home users. It costs a fragment of what more popular, mainstream video editors cost. It’s easy to use interface and decent performance are also praiseworthy. However, the app’s codec support is average and its editing and effects range are quite basic.
