 No manual, no help, no way September 24, 2007
14 out of 28 found this review helpful
This cannot be used by normal human beings without considerable prior experience and training. There is undoubtably incredible power in this suite but you will not find it explained in the manuals or the online help files.I found no books available on 8.0 and the 7.0 book I found is also vague and describes a clearly different product. Having reread all 60 4x5 inch pages of my **** manual for Vegas and DVD Architect I am unable to create a dvd with menu from a digital HiDef camera videos.
There are flshes of brillance, the interface is very slick but if your prior knowledge is limited to capturing video from tape and Ulead 3.0 stay far away from this unless you have a private tutor.
 Perfect to create movies September 14, 2007

I downloaded the trial version and printed the manual before I purchased this. I went through the manual while creating a movie and realized that it was pretty simple so I purchased it. Just make sure you have a DVD burner and the blank DVDs. I was able to put musice in the background, put writing in (ex. holiday - year) and I was able to put rolling credits at the end. Try the trial version first to see if you like it.
I like this video editor, but you can download a free trial first September 2, 2007

This video editor is able to read .VOB file from DVD's created from VCR tapes, making it great for editing the old family videos. The display is quite customizable and easy to spread over two monitors. There is a small learning curve, but the "Show Me How" help a lot. The only things that detract from this is (1) the lack of a comprehensive noise reduction facility (Sony has this as a pricey plug-in, but then, none of the other video editors in this price range has this feature), and (2) the DVD creation software is not integrated in with the editor (although it is included in the package). But don't buy this software just on our say-so, download the 30 day free trial from the Sony web site and make sure it works for you before you buy.

Nice feature set, great stability August 31, 2007

After too many system crashes with Pinnacle Studio (especially after hours of rendering), I decided to upgrade to a better software. I've been using Movie Studio since version 3, had upgraded to version 7, and now version 8, and have rarely had the software crash on me. The major reason to upgrade to version 8 was because the new computer I bought came with Windows Vista, which the previous versions did not support.
Movie Studio provides a nice set of tools that allow transitions, zooming, lighting controls, video edits/adjustments, etc. Video effects applied to your clips can be customized for very amazing results if the user takes time to learn how to use them. One of the features I especially like is to be able to render all the clips as one MPEG file with chapter marks included, so that DVD Architect will read the chapter marks and automatically generate a scene menu. This way one can ensure that transition effects are smooth from one clip to the next, yet scene selection is available for ease of navigating through the resulting DVD.
Update: Another use for Movie Studio is to transcode video to MP4 for playback on IPOD or other video players (Blackberry Curve, for example). For example, you can take a non-encripted DVD (not copy protected), rename the video file to have mpg extension (mpeg 2), select the entire movie or a particular portion, and render as MP4 to be transferred to your portable player. Quality is excellent. While one can find free encoders out there, Movie Studio is the best if you want more control.
Absolutely Marvellous August 24, 2007

I have used similar software in the same price and performance class
as the Sony Vegas Movie Studio + DVD 8 Platinum Edition and I can say
that the Sony product outclasses the competition by a mile.
In just under an hour I was able to produce a professional quality DVD title.
Hats off to Sony and their developers for this genuinely top product.
Full marks to Sony!!
