“This summer users can free the digital images and video trapped on their hardware, or laying around in drawers, to create memories to share with family and friends. As users become increasingly savvy with editing their digital photos, the obvious progression is to start editing the video taken with their digital video cameras,” said Blaine Mathieu, general manager, digital imaging at Corel. “During this progression, it’s important that users do not feel overwhelmed by the software. The Visual Creation Studio Pro bundle is designed to provide users with easy to use software with the same level of power they’d come to expect from Sony and Corel.”
