What’s NEW in Pinnacle Studio 26?
This new version of Pinnacle is faster, better, and more efficient than ever—and we have you to thank. Based on your feedback, we’ve fortified the product, focusing on core editing processes to bring real improvements to the aspects that truly matter to you, delivering our most streamlined and smooth editing experience in years. Pinnacle Studio 26 brings tangible improvements to the user experience beyond simple bug fixes and interface tweaks—we’ve upgraded the structure of the product with changes in everything from behavioral logic to resource management, to a brand-new proxy codec. With greatly enhanced stability, performance, and usability, enjoy a streamlined workflow, and fully focus on the creative side of video editing!
Product Stability
This release focuses largely on product stability and core feature performance, along with dozens of crash and bug fixes for targeted improvements to more than 200 unique user-identified scenarios. Pinnacle Studio 26 is our most reliable and stable version to date. Enjoy smooth and streamlined video editing from the moment you install it!
Product Performance
Incredible performance improvements have been implemented in user-identified areas such as software launch time, resource utilization, interface and project preview responsiveness, as well as import and export speed. Main performance improvements include:
- Implementing Apple ProRes* as a smart proxy format for improved preview, playback, timeline rendering, and overall editing responsiveness
- Changing behavioral logic to avoid unnecessary refreshes and reduce rendering delays
- A new dropdown to choose from project preview quality options to optimize performance
- Targeted speed improvements on importing clips into the library and exporting final projects
*Pinnacle Studio Smart Proxy supports the Apple ProRes format, but quality is limited to 4:2:2 8-bit.

Stylize your film.
Use special effects to introduce atmosphere and character to your production—make it look like an old movie or an indie film, transform scenes from rain to shine, and much more.
Play with artistic effects and surprise your audience.
Would you like sections of your movie to look like an old painting or pencil sketch? Pinnacle filters will make that transformation into a reality in a few clicks.
ULTIMATE EXCLUSIVE Smart object tracking
Edit more efficiently and save a lot of time with Smart Object Tracking, intelligent, shape-aware motion tracking for masks applied on common objects. You can easily apply masks to objects in your video–from pets and cars, to drones, and more. There is no need to re-create masks for each frame because smart technology automates the process by recognizing the original masked object and tracks it throughout the selected episode.
Blend modes
Improvise on the fly with Blend Modes and choose how one clip blends with another—from creating a superimposed effect, to blending masked areas, or creating light bleeds or other color and exposure effects. Each Blend Mode uses a different formula to combine the color and brightness values in a selected clip with the values in an underlying clip. Blend Modes boost your creativity and help to bring an artistic touch to your films.
