Do NOT bother with Studio 8. Even if you have the most advanced system you will und up with totally unusable final projects.Pinnacle has refused to even deal with the fact that 90% of users - including people who from their questions show they are highly advanced with advanced hardware as well -- can not get audio and video synchronized. This is a fatal falw and makes studio 8 worthless!Studio 9 is coming in Jan/Feb. My advice....wait and check amazon reviews for thosw who know what they are talking about.
