This is an excellent video editing and DVD authoring suite for both beginners and advanced users. What I really liked about VideoStudio 10 Plus was the two options for video editing. Beginners can use the Movie Wizard option to create an edited video using templates. This is a good method if you wish to jump right into editing and not have to learn all the ins and outs of editing. Advanced users can jump right in to the full editing mode and enjoy all the powerful editing features.

Guide Review - Review of Ulead VideoStudio 10 Plus Video Editing and DVD Authoring Software
Once installed, VideoStudio 10 Plus gives you three options to begin with. VideoStudio Editor, Movie Wizard, and DV-to-DVD Wizard. VideoStudio Editor is the full editing interface. Different tabs at the top of the screen allow users to capture, edit, add titles and music, and output the finished video to file, DV tape or DVD. The interface for editing will be familiar to users who have used VideoStudio in the past, but everything seems a little larger and easier to use. I especially liked the nearly full screen preview mode for your video. The ability to edit HD Video and then output back to your HD Camcorder is a big plus, as well as the ability to create Dolby 5.1 surround sound. Movie Wizard is nice for beginning video editors who don't want to learn the full editor right away. It lets you create a video using templates and a wizard. Capture, edit and burn to DVD in several easy steps. The DV-to-DVD Wizard lets users transfer an entire DV tape to DVD in a few steps. Overall, Ulead's VideoStudio 10 Plus is a great product for beginners or advanced users. The Plus version gives the added features of HD Video editing from an HD Camcorder and 5.1 surround sound creation.
