Pinnacle Studio 23 Ultimate - Advanced Video Editing and Screen Recording [PC Disc]

I loaded this on my computer using a CD.  Now  I have a fairly robust machine with all the updates and it took over an hour for the program to load.  I was so convinced that something was wrong that I did a tech support chat and he told me to wait it out.  That leads me to believe that they are aware of how slow it loads.  I got it loaded and spent the last hour and half exploring it.  There are plenty of feature and it looks as if it will take an in depth study of the tutorials, in other words, not intuitive.  I have used this type of software for years and years and this one is no better than some I use that are 6 years old.  It was disappointing but perhaps when I have many hours to spend exploring the tutorials I will try again.  Right now my impression is okay but nothing special.
