Pinnacle Studio 17 vs Adobe Premiere Pro CC I have my own YouTube channel that I am currently developing graphics for. I use Adobe Photoshop CC to create the graphics and I have been using a trial of Premiere Pro for video editing and I love it.

However, I'm lucky enough to of got Photoshop on a year contract cheap from a special offer on Adobe but Premiere Pro will cost me twice as much each month for a year. I've seen Pinnacle Studio 17 Ultimate Movie Editor in a local store for £75 and that's a one-off cost.

So my question is: would I be able to use Pinnacle Studio as well as I used Premiere Pro?

Needs:


Accepts video formats that Premiere Pro does including .MP4
Multiple video &amp; audio layers
Adjust position and size of separate layers
Chroma key
Accept .psd files (if possible)
Change audio layer volumes independently
Both Pinnacle Studio 17 and Premiere Pro CC will suit the needs you listed, but only Premiere Pro accepts .psd files, Pinnacle Studio does not. Furthermore, Premiere Pro has an option to directly export frames to Photoshop, edit them there, and import them back to Premiere Pro. That sounds like a feature you will find useful.
