Want a professional quality editor - Sony Vegas is your choice. January 20, 2009

I researched movie editors for months, before buying Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro Pack. Did I make the right choice? Yes, however this product is only usable if you have good general computer skills, and have the ability to learn through trial and error. I would not recommend this product if you expect to produce a masterpiece in one day.
What do you get in this package?
Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 - program to edit digital movie, add soundtracks, voice-overs, and fancy text, rolling credits, etc.
DVD Architect Studio - program to author DVD's, so you end up with professional quality DVD menus with all the bells and whistles
Sound Forge Audio Studio - a music editing program, with the added ability to convert all your L.P.'s and cassettes into digital format, so that you can then make CD's or load them onto your IPod.
Cinescore Studio 1.0 - free music of various genres, to add to your productions to give them a professional sound
There was one major problem with this software when I first loaded it, that I only managed to fix by pure luck. The problem was quite a major one. In the version which comes on CD-ROM, there is a bug which stops the soundtrack from MPEG2 files from loading into the editior program. This is incredible considering that almost every digital camcorder on the market uses the MPEG2 format, including Sony. However!!! Once you have loaded the program and registered, you need to go to the Sony update software web page. Here you will find a download that fixes many bugs in the program, including the MPEG2 problem.
There is another problem with the program if you are going to buying this to upload videos to You Tube. In the last couple of months You Tube has upgraded there video screen to Widescreen (16:9 ratio) format. There is no template in Vegas Movie Studio to handle this. So if you intend on uploading video to You Tube in 16:9, then you will need some advanced computer skills to create your own template. I'm sure Sony will work on this and provide an update to the program in time. At the moment, the program handles traditional 4:3 format for upload to the internet.
There are many cool features hidden within Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro Pack. Only the basics are discussed in the instructional booklets that come with the program. If you explore all the alien like buttons and features, through trial and error, you will be more than happy with this software.
6/10 for ease of use
9.5/10 for cool features
All the best with your movie editing and DVD production.

 Best Video Editing Software on Either Platform September 28, 2008

I have played with them all, including doing a fair amount of work in iMovie.
Forget Ulead, forget Pinnacle, or whatver junk you are trying. Sony Vegas is easier to use, more powerful, rock-solid stable, features a built in "Show Me" feature which walks you through anything you'd want to do.
If you were locked in a room for one hour with a camera and software and had to make a basic movie, then walk over to the Mac and use iMovie. You'll be done with time to spare, and no headaches.
Once you have made a couple of movies, the limitations of iMovie will drive you nuts. Then, you graduate to Sony, and you never have to learn another program. It does it all. Intuitively and simply. Not as easy as iMovie, but substantially more powerful and worth the effort.
Pros: Very mature, stable, powerful and relatively easy to use, and cheap, considering all that comes in the bundle and how much you can do with the software.
Cons: Not as simple as iMovie. Only works on a PC.

Great Amateur/Prosumer Editing Suite September 4, 2008

The "Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Pro Pack" is another fantastic entry into the outstanding Vegas family of editing software. We make instructional DVDs (Introduction to Candle Making DVD) and have used Sony Vegas since version 4. While most of our videos are made using the higher end version Vegas Pro 8, I use the "Studio" version for home videos and quick edits.
What's included (all on one disc):
* Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Edition (editing software)
* DVD Architect Studio 4.5 (DVD authoring)
* Sound Forge Audio Studio (audio editing)
* Cinescore w/themes (sound track creation)
* 1001 Sound Effects
* NewBlue 3D Transitions & Effects ("Cartoonr" is an interesting effect)
Here are my observations:
* Very intuitive and easy to use interface
* Huge selection of effects and transitions
* Support for HD video
* Burns Blu-Ray from the timeline
* Burns standard DVDs from DVD Architect
* "Show Me How" interactive tutorials are very helpful
* Direct YouTube upload support
* Excellent Chromakey (green screen) capabilities
* Great sound editing tools
* Easy DVD menu creation
Other software that the novice/home user might want to consider is Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Version 12 (see my review there), it has less video tracks but more templates/themes.
Over all, I highly recommend "Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Pro Pack"!
 No Hardware encoding support and none coming.... October 27, 2009

I bought Sony Vegas Platinum Pro but when I went to render a 2 hour movie 720x480 with some saturation and noise adjustments is when I found out that it doesn't support Hardware Assist (GPU) encoding, transcoding, or rendering. I just watched the counter click up to 29+ hours to render my movie.
Since I already have Corel VideoStudio Pro X2 installed (and it does use my GPU Hardware) I decided to render it in VSP X2 and it took less than 5 hours, burn and all.
If you go onto the Sony Vegas Forums you will see many people bummed that Sony is not supporting Hardware assist. The canned Sony answer is that they would have to rewrite the core of the program and don't want to do so.
Sony Vegas does have its bells and whistles, especially soundforge which is almost worth the purchase price in itself.
And I know what some of you are thinking....that I didn't have enough hardware to run it properly...WRONG! I have a 3.0GHz Quad with 4GB RAM, a Diamond HD4870 512MB video card, and the SATA disks are Enterprise nearline drives running RAID 1+0 on a 3Ware 9650SE PCIe true Hardware controller.
I place this is the same mistake category (other than SoundForge) as Pinnacle, which is a dog.
64-Bit problem is not a problem February 9, 2009

Earlier on I was reading the reviews about 64-bit none-compatibility for this software. So I never really decided if the reviews were correct or not. After I installed it on a 32-bit Vista Ultimate it worked fine and incredibly well for it. Then purchased a Dell Studio XPS with Vista Home Premium 64-bit here are the specs for the hardware:
Intel® Core(tm)i7-920 Processor(8MB L2 Cache, 2.66GHz)
Single Drive: 16X CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW) w/double layer write capability
6GB Tri-Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz - 6 DIMMs
640GB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache
ATI Radeon HD 3450 256MB
Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
Now after I got the computer set up I was somewhat curious about the patch update for the software. So I did a simple search and it stated in forums that people had 64-bit of Vista and were able to get it to work after they installed the patch. So as I read I decided to install it on my new computer and low and behold it works. All the features are enabled; everything else works fine apparently. If there is a feature that doesn't work with it I'll probably come back and edit this review to state what doesn't work. But so far everything does. Now I'm not to sure about the other versions of Vista cause throughout the forums it would always state Home Premium but no one stated that it wasn't compatible with the other versions of Vista or that it was. If you have Vista Home Premium I would advise this software even if you have 64-bit. But if you have a different version, either research it on the web or just try it anyways. I don't see how they would make it compatible with one version and not the other. I hope people will be able to figure this out sooner or later.
