What Customers Say About Vegas Movie Studio 8 Platinum Edition [OLD VERSION]:

Not bloatware at all, which is appreciated, since I usually have at least 3 or 4 programs running at once. It may require a little fiddling to find it, but there's a surprising amount of functionality. If you're looking for something in between Final Cut Pro and iMovie, this is probably the software for you. The interface is very simple, practically no learning curve. Ran beautifully on an old laptop with a 64 meg video card, 1 gig RAM and 1.7 gig processor, also runs on my newer XP machine.

You order the software and install it. You read the documentation and see that Vista is supported.

Use something else because it is this lack of attention to detail that indicates that the Sony name no longer means quality. THAT is when you find out that Vista 64 bit is not supported.This problem has been around for quite a while.

Re-run and it crashes.You go through this crap a few times and then you contact support at Sony.Guess what. It certainly would have stopped me from ordering it.Do yourself a favor.

Vegas is just what the name implies.Its a crap shoot as to whether or not it will work. It crashes.

This tiny piece of data could have been mentioned on the website.

Tip: under the right side of the video you can select "watch in high quality." Nothing could be easier. To fade in and out of both video and sound you simply drag the video to overlap the preceding video. I also render video to post on You Tube. I could not be more pleased with the use and results.

Here is an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch.v=YPxVVUchHAAIt is called The World Famous White River. If you want another transition instead of a simple fade, just drag the transition into the overlap space. With a year under my belt, I am a little scared to upgrade to Vegas 9. I have paid about ten times as much for a lesser product. With a little experience I can create a video production in no time.

I use a JVC High Definition camcorder to produce high def DVDs with astounding clarity.

I believe that there should be a free upgrade if the new version is out and you have unknowingly just purchased the prior version (both are the same price as far as I can tell). Just my thoughts. I registered my version 8 product but received no offer for free upgrade to version 9.0. In this case, however, I learned after installing the product that there is a version 9.0 of this product. I took delivery of this product from Amazon on 28 August 2008. Buyer Beware. I normally (correctly)assume that my Amazon purchases are getting me the latest available edition of books, etc., and that is usually the case. I believe that this is a good product, but I would recommend investing your money towards the newer version.

I've tried many but Vegas Movie Studio 8 is by far the best. I've been frustrated in finding a Windows based video editing software that was easy to use yet provided all the perks to make a good home movie. It doesn't get 5 stars because the DVD architect software is not as user friendly as the movie editing portion.
