 a better software product, 2008-09-02
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. I've tried many but Vegas Movie Studio 8 is by far the best. It doesn't get 5 stars because the DVD architect software is not as user friendly as the movie editing portion.

Feature-rich program. A versitile product, 2008-07-22
After four baseball seasons with Pinnacle Studio (upgrading every year), I told myself that I would use a different video editing program to make my son's baseball team video. I was tired of the little bugs, glitches, and incompatibilities associated with Pinnacle, and so I decided to shop around. After quite a bit of research I liked the reviews I read about Sony Vegas Movie Studio - and it was more affordable than I had expected. I was a bit intimidated at first, because it is more sophisticated than Pinnacle, but I knew that I would eventually reap the rewards if I forced myself to tackle the learning curve. What has been a savior for me is all of the great instructional tips available on YouTube. They have motivated me to learn new techniques and imagine new ways of using this great program. My only complaint is the Quick Start Operating Manual; if you are over 40 years old, the small type is a bit hard to read. Oh well.... I'm in the middle of my 5th baseball video (the last one was 28 minutes long) and I am so glad that I "swallowed the red pill".

 Best software so far, 2008-06-25
I've tried so many different programs since beginning of era of video editing. Some programs worked good, some so-so. Most of them leaved me in frustration and disappointment, because they crash, record a movie partially and so on. Sony Vegas is the only program I enjoy to work with. I bought this software two years ago and still have it (I have Sony Vegas Platinum 5; version 8 should be even better). For all this time Vegas has not crashed even ones. Everything you do on the screen will be recorded on the hard drive or DVD. Vegas is a very simple, intuitive program with power of much more expensive professional software. You will enjoy to play (not just edit) with your video using almost endless options. I am not professional and I make movies only for myself and my family, but Sony Vegas can really help you to create a professionally looking video without any effort. I cannot recommend any better software than Vegas.

Great product and easy to use, 2008-06-04
I'm a simple home user that uploads small clips for family members to view my newborn son. Used to use Windows Movie Maker to capture video and do quick fade in/out edits. Recently purchased the Canon HF100 and needed software that could import AVCHD encoded video. Sony Vegas Platinum 8 was simple to use and worked with no problems. I've even learned to do more advance editing through Sony's tutorials on their website. When I purchased the software it was $50 dollars but now it seems they have corrected the price.

Outstanding, 2007-12-11
I am only a novice at video editing but the stuff I've been able to do with this program is amazing. I highly recommend it.
