HD Video Editing Is Bulletproof

As a gesture of support for free speech, Woot announces today that we will not be selling this video-editing software in China. (Also, the shipping costs would kill us.)

Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Version 12 allows users to create professional-quality Blu-Ray movies, complete with color correction, special effects, green screens, and on-screen titles. And it does it in real time, without transcoding. Edit it, add effects, burn it to a Blu-Ray disc – you won’t lose a pixel of quality from your original native HD video. Unless, of course, the Secret Pixel Police come knocking in the middle of the night.

We simply cannot countenance placing these robust HD video capabilities into the hands of a regime that suppresses its citizens’ rights to open and unrestricted expression. Especially one that’s so damn far away. I mean, have you looked at a globe? If I put my pinky on the U.S.A., I really have to strain my thumb to reach China. And that’s on a small globe.

Some may say “But you guys have never shipped to China anyway.” To this, we reply, “Why you gotta harsh our freedom buzz?” We would love to be able to offer the Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Version 12 to liberty-loving peoples everywhere, but when faced with the twin tyrannies of state oppression and expensive freight, we must do the honorable thing. We deeply apologize to anyone denied these HD video-editing capabilities because of their government’s authoritarian policies.

Or because they only have a Mac.
