SONY Vegas Movie Studio + ( Windows ) review:5 stars (It is stable and it is very easy to use! ) - The reason I bought this software was because I tried Premiere 6.0 for 15 minutes and got thoroughly disgusted. Premiere 6.0 make you render everything before you can see it! SUPER SLOW!!! NO THANKS!!! Vegas lets you see your updates instantly!!! Thank you!!!! That's the way editing software should work! Premier 6.0 was a $600 program a few years ago. This program costs less than $100 bucks!

Sony Vegas Movie studio is a joy to use. It's intuitive and has a clean, easy to understand interface. It just works without causing you any hassles! If you need more power, just upgrade to Vegas 6.0. It looks amazing! I don't need all that power at the moment. I just needed something simple that wouldn't drive me insane while trying to use it! This program works and it works well! And, it makes sense!!! Thank you Sony!

(...)5 stars (Good for novices) - I've never used any kind of video editing software before (though I have done graphic layout with various programs). Movie Studio is so easy to use that I put together a family video on my first afternoon of learning the program, after 5 minutes of orientation from a friend. Our organization is using it for producing professional videos for worldwide distribution, which will be modified by amateurs working in various languages. I'm recommending it without hesitation to everyone I know who feels at home with computers. It's just as good for the novice as for the professional. And it is good for professionals too. As my professional friend says, "You can't do everything with it that you can with Premiere, but for most purposes Premiere is overkill." It's especially nice for the price. Through an Amazon merchant, I bought the + DVD version for only $90. 5 stars (It works!) - I have used a lot of video gear over the years. If it would do half of what it says on the box, life would be good. This product stands in stark contrast to the usual trend. It flat works.

It does what it says it will do. It does not crash. It is easy to learn, yet powerful enough for my needs. I had the old Sony Sceenblast and it worked great except for doing DVDs. This version fixes that.

Great product. I am totally satisfied with it.
