With Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate, take advantage of new 360 Degree Video Editing, Motion Tracking with Mosaic Blur, Easy Track Transparency, support for HEVC (H.265), and more.

"Users choose Pinnacle Studio Ultimate because they're looking for a level of power and control that they simply cannot find in any other consumer video editor. With Pinnacle Studio 20 Ultimate, we commit to bringing you as close to pro results as possible without the complexity or expense of professional video editing software," said Michel Yavercovski, Senior Director of Product Management for Pinnacle.

"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:

• New! 360 Video Controls: New support for 360 degree video editing enables users to edit truly immersive video experiences. Also add titles to your 360 video. Share your creative vision and set a path to convert 360 video to a standard movie.
• New! Motion Tracking with Mosaic Blur: Easily track moving objects on screen and connect them to elements such as text and graphics. Add a mosaic blur to obscure a face, logo or more. 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.
