Best for a Windows editor with multi-camera tools
VideoStudio is a Windows video editor sold as Pro and Ultimate, with multi-camera editing, motion tracking and speech-to-text subtitles. No dollar price could be read, the pages still describe the 2023 versions, and there is no Mac version.
Who Corel VideoStudio is for
- Fits if you edit on a Windows PC and want multi-camera and tracking tools
- Makes sense if you prefer to pay once rather than subscribe
Who Corel VideoStudio is not for
- Skip it if you use a Mac, as the site lists Windows only
- Watch out: the product pages still show 2023 versions and copyright notices, so check what is on sale
- Watch out: some purchase options are upgrades that need an earlier licensed copy
- Skip it if you want a clear price, as none could be read in dollars
Why Corel VideoStudio gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo dollar price is recorded because the page loaded ringgit prices with a sale, so it sits in the middle.
- CFree plan and trialA 30-day trial of VideoStudio Pro 2023; the listing does not say whether a card is needed.
- BFeaturesMulti-camera editing, motion tracking, speech-to-text subtitles and 360-degree editing cover the whole job.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and a full timeline editor has a learning curve.
- DPlatforms and integrationsWindows 11, 10 and 8 only, 64-bit; no Mac, phone or web version.

Keep Corel VideoStudio, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Corel VideoStudio you would be making a video editor. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 92 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A video editor.
- Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Corel VideoStudio’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Corel VideoStudio?
VideoStudio is a Windows video editor from Corel with a drag-and-drop timeline, multi-camera editing, screen recording, motion tracking, 360-degree editing and a speech-to-text subtitle tool. It is sold in Pro and Ultimate editions, and the vendor offers a 30-day free trial of the current version.
Worth knowing
- The vendor's pricing could not be read in US dollars: its page loaded prices in Malaysian ringgit with a Black Friday discount, so no price is recorded.
- The product pages still describe the 2023 versions and show 2023 copyright notices, so check which version is on sale.
- Windows 11, 10 and 8, 64-bit only; the site lists no Mac version.
- Some purchase options are upgrades that require an earlier licensed VideoStudio Pro or Ultimate.
Key features
- Multi-camera editing
- Combine, sync and switch between clips from several cameras, and capture webcam and screen video together with MultiCam Capture Lite.

- Track an object to attach moving text or graphics, or to blur faces, logos and license plates.

- Trim and enhance 360 footage, apply Tiny Planet effects, convert fisheye footage, and export for headsets or YouTube.
