4 out of 5 stars Vegas Movie Studio   February 11, 2008

Used program to download Movies from my Sony Camera and Photo Stories I make using another program before I received the Vegas Movie Studio 8 Platinum Edition. So far it's good for what I wanted in making home DVD's.

I've tried all the Roxio products with terrible results and Adobe Premiere Elements and none can compare to Sony Vegas. This has all the features you need to create and produce an excellent product.

It's bug free as far as I can tell, (can't say that about Roxio) the customer support is excellent I had an issue with my sound card and they promptly helped me out.

All in all I'm very pleased with it.



2 out of 5 stars Good for DV; not so for HDV   January 28, 2008
 17 out of 17 found this review helpful

Having read good things about this software package, I bought a copy for a relatively good price. The program looks sleek, and works well with standard DV. I was able create a number of non hi-def videos without much problems. I was eager to try out hi-def video as I own a Sony HDR-HC3. It turned out to be a very frustrating experience. I ran into hangs, and crashes with HDV that I did not experience with DV. Vegas Movie Studio always tries to build peaks for the videos that it imports, and that step took forever to finish. Sometimes it never finished; I had to kill the program after half a day of it never getting past some percentage of completion. Also, while the program builds peak, the user can not do much. I have used Pinnacle (up to version 10.5) and Adobe Premiere, and I have to say that when it comes to HDV, Vegas Movie Studio has turned out to be the buggiest product of all. I have run into crashes with Pinnacle during the editing and production phases, but at least I managed to find ways around the problems; not so with Vegas Movie Studio because at times the thing never even finished the building peaks step to allow me to edit the video. It's very ironic considering that the source videos came from a Sony camcorder.


5 out of 5 stars Easy download, easy to use.   January 19, 2008

Super-great product. I cant beleive the videos I can make. Its very user friendly. I didn't even read the instructions. The buttons are very self explanitory. A little practice and common sense is really all you need to create wonderful slideshows and videos. I used this program to create a highlight film of my high school basketball games. I downloaded the dvd games and edited from that. I was also able to add music (and edit music tracks). You can save your compilations to your hard drive or burn it to disc in a variety of formats. It never slows up. I have an old HP desktop (about 7 years old), Windows XP, and it works super. A very impressive program to say the least. You get more than you pay for, trust me. Good job Sony!


2 out of 5 stars Not good for AVCHD   January 12, 2008
 10 out of 12 found this review helpful


Surprisingly this software is not good for AVCHD. Maybe the Pro 8 version
is but the ultimate is not. Just bought this software to edit and create
AVCHD because on the box it states "Create Stunning HD Movies" and also
"Vegas Movie Studio Platinum software has everything you need to produce
movies in spectacular high-definition". From my experience, none of these
statements are true. I do like the software if I were creating standard
DVDs but I need it for HD. The program does not output in AVCHD format, period!
I'm sure I'll find some uses for it and at least the cost wasn't so high
it was a major mistake. I really like Sony products but I'm very disappointed
they advertised this software in such a way it misled me to buying it!
