If you’re looking to break into high-definition video editing without breaking your bank account in the process, things might be looking up. Avid Technology announced Pinnacle Studio 11 on Monday, which will bring HD editing to those who can’t afford more expensive packages like Adobe’s $799 Premiere Pro CS3 or Apple’s $299 Final Cut Express HD 3.5.

Pinnacle Studio 11 will come in three versions: basic, Plus, and Ultimate. The $49 basic version will not feature HD editing capability; instead it adds one-click video publishing as an upgrade from the previous version. Sliding up the price scale to the $99 Plus version, users will find native HD editing capability as well as the ability to burn HD DVDs. The $129 Ultimate version will package all of these features combined with a suite of tools for cleaning up audio, adding “film-look” effects, panning, zooming, and working with green screens.

All three versions will be released in May 2007, with upgrades from Pinnacle Studio 10 also available for a fee.

Meta’s new image and video AI tools let you turn Instagram into your creative mood board

Two models, one launch, and an Instagram trick nobody else has.

Art, Collage, Face

Meta has been cooking something up, and today, it finally put it on the table. On July 7, 2026, Meta Superintelligence Labs launched Muse Image and Muse Video (in preview), its first in-house media generation models.

The rollout comes with a few features that are genuinely hard to argue with.

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

Better sound, smarter design

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back

No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.

Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
