Pro customer profiles
Here’s a glimpse at the people who are driving
VideoStudio Pro’s success.
Multimedia enthusiasts
These users are the traditional lifeblood of this
market. They’re passionate and sophisticated
hobbyists who embrace new technologies,
possess multiple cameras, and choose
VideoStudio Pro for its speed, stability, rich
features, and creative freedom. Multimedia
enthusiasts capture their stories – family events,
community activities, travel, sports and more –
with impressive creativity and movie-making skill.
Action videographers
These adventurous souls likely fell backwards into
video editing, starting with the purchase of a
GoPro or other action camera. As they filmed
their exploits—be it on a mountain bike, surf
board, or cliff ledge—their interest in video
editing grew as a means to share those
encounters with nature. The no fuss, no muss
hallmark of VideoStudio Pro appeals to their
adrenaline-junkie spirit.
The ‘new’ videographer
YouTube has grown into a dynamic and powerful
social network, where anyone can learn and
exchange ideas, entertain themselves and others,
and share their stories, causes, and passions.
These users want hassle-free technology, no
limits, and quality outputs—all attributes
exemplified by VideoStudio Pro.
