 steady video editing software with a few tricks up its sleeve September 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Great software.
Vegas platinum is in a nice, comfortable zone between free software(windows moviemaker) and expensive software (Adobe premiere). The result is steady video editing software with a few tricks up its sleeve, including hundreds of special effects and transitions. great quality videos as well, considering the outstandingly low price. The interface is easy to use, editing is easily mastered and the "show me how" option is a great way for beginners to learn. Vegas is alos the only video editing software ive come across that supports .aac audio files. Meaning i can use all the music from my itunes in my videos.
The only problem ive had were a few frames dropped whilst capturing footage from my camera. But this is an easily solved problem and not really a setback as it often occurs with high end software such as adobe premiere.
Also handy is the HD support, when i buy a HD camera, i wont have to fork out more cash for more software.
Highly reccomended.

If only it would open an MPEG-2 file sound channel, I would rate it higher and not regret having it. I fail to understand how a file generated in a Sony Camcorder and downloaded into a Sony DVD recorder, which then dubs it onto a dvd can manage not to have the sound recognized by Sony Vegas. This is specially weird when the same disc is correctly loaded by Ulink, Cyberlink and Adobe software.
Very good software August 26, 2008

I have used a number of video editing packages; this is the best. Importantly, it is very stable. It is also very flexible and accepts a number of different formats in one project. It also comes bundled with the very competant DVD achitect software.
The only drawback is that it is not the most straight forward software to use so perhaps one for those with some previous editing experience or who enjoy working things out.
Brilliant piece of software!!! August 19, 2008

I bought this software from Amazon after purchasing my high definition Canon camcorder (also from Amazon). I had recently had a new computer built (and my old one upgraded). As an absolute beginner I read through dozens of posts on various video editing forums and decided to follow the recommendations of experienced video editors, such as having a huge second hard drive fitted so as not to save video files on the same drive as the operating system. Video editing is incredibly resource hungry, not being a techie but having experienced my previous computers slowing down (and crashing) over time because of all the rubbish that had accumulated on them, I also decided NOT to fill the computer up with my video games and downloads, I kept them for the older, upgraded PC.
I installed Sony Vegas and plugged in my camcorder, the capture was perfect, no dropped frames, no computer freezing or crashing. To those people who criticise the software, blame your system, not the software.
Sony Vegas and DVD architect are brilliant. For a beginner, the 'how to' function on the help tab gets you started, without having to plough your way through the more complicated aspects of the software, this comes later with more experience. A particular favourite of mine is the ability to capture stills from the video footage to tag on the end of the finished video, separated by one of Sony's excellent transitions, and overlaid with music. Far better than posed photographs and you've always got the photos on your hard drive if you want to print them later.
For a product of this standard, the new reduced price is an absolute giveaway. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Sony Vegas.
 So easy to use! June 17, 2008

I was looking for a new piece of vid editing software for my skydiving films. Had previously tried products from ULEAD and CYBERLINK and wasn't totally satisfied. Vegas Movie Studio is perfect for making professional looking movies. When you first open the program it looks very confusing compared to some video editing suits but Sony have got it so right with the "show me how" button giving brief but informative information on how to achieve what you want to do. I sat down and had a play for a couple of hours and in my mind is the most user friendly video editing suit I have ever used! I would highly recommend to both experienced and amateur video editors.
