CinéWave 2.1 User Testimonials
"CinéWave is the hottest video product I have seen on the Mac since After Effects or Final Cut Pro. In the latest version, Pinnacle Systems has delivered better color correction capability directly within Final Cut Pro than we had with our $30,000 dedicated system. CinéWave has increased the value of our online room by tenfold. We are now a CinéWave house."

"CinéWave 2.1 delivers the level of real-time performance on the Mac desktop we have been waiting years for. I am absolutely thrilled by what it has done for my system. It changes everything. Work is much more fun. Beside the financial impact that comes with being able to do more for my clients, the real-time capability of CinéWave lets me work more naturally. Real-time color correction means I can quickly change an image on the fly or precisely tweak the image to get exactly the look I want. Either way, it is easy. Before I did color correction occasionally. Now I do it habitually."
