We continue our search for good inexpensive editing software more appropriate for Public Access TV editors than either Apple FCP or Adobe Premiere.

The "Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Pro Pack" is another fantastic entry into the outstanding Vegas family of editing software. We make instructional DVDs 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 and 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

“Buyer beware - Even though the product is "Vista" compatible, there is a fine print - it is not supported under 64-bit version. The solution from support was to install 32-bit vista instead. If only they would print this requirement on the box, it can save some headache!!”
