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. - **Category:** Screen Recording & Video - **Made by:** Corel Corporation - **Website:** https://www.videostudiopro.com/en - **Runs on:** Windows - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you use a Mac, as the site lists Windows only. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing Corel VideoStudio's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## 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. - **Drag-and-drop timeline:** Trim, split and arrange clips, then add titles, transitions, overlays and hundreds of filters by dragging them onto the timeline. - **Motion tracking:** Track an object to attach moving text or graphics, or to blur faces, logos and license plates. - **Speech to text subtitles:** A converter turns speech in a clip into caption text, and subtitles can be exported in the SBV YouTube format. - **360-degree video editing:** Trim and enhance 360 footage, apply Tiny Planet effects, convert fisheye footage, and export for headsets or YouTube. ## Good for - Home movies and event videos edited on a Windows PC - Multi-angle footage from several cameras - People who prefer owning a version of the software ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: C.** No dollar price is recorded because the page loaded ringgit prices with a sale, so it sits in the middle. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A 30-day trial of VideoStudio Pro 2023; the listing does not say whether a card is needed. - **Features: B.** Multi-camera editing, motion tracking, speech-to-text subtitles and 360-degree editing cover the whole job. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and a full timeline editor has a learning curve. - **Platforms and integrations: D.** Windows 11, 10 and 8 only, 64-bit; no Mac, phone or web version.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/video ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A video editor. - You could not: Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video. - You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust. - You could not: A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
