Good but Have to Edit Effects Manually
By Sometimes Blue
Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD 11 is a great video/movie editing software. You can create just about anything your mind imagines. If you're a professional, however, you probably want to look at Vegas Pro as Movie Studio 11 is more for casual movie/video makers/creators. Let's get right into the pros and cons of Movie Studio 11:
PROS:
- A total of six-layers for video editing (three for videos, three for sounds/audio). This is very space friendly as you can move, cut, copy, and paste quickly through editing.
- There are a ton of options and effects (sound, transitions, video). You can purchase additional video/transition/sound effects, but what comes with the software is more than enough.
- You can loop three videos together; meaning, you can have three layers of video all on top of each other with all three sounds playing at the same time. LOL! I don't know why one would edit a video like this, but it's possible. Has green and blue screen capabilities too.
- High level of customization for: video, audio, sound, and special effects. Seriously, any part of the video can be customized. Example for video: You can fix a video by increasing brightness, contrast, blurriness, sharpness, black and white, and so forth down to the finest detail. Example for sound/audio: you can take an audio track, change the pitch or vocals to high/low/deep, add chorus to the vocals (sounds like the band is playing live), change the equalizer of the music/sound, and so forth.
- HD/Blu Ray compatible (output)
CONS:
- Not user-friendly; meaning, there is a steep learning curve if you have never used a video editing software before or have been using a basic video editing program like Windows Movie Maker. There is a tutorial, but that is to navigate and walk you through the menus. It does not teach you how to pull-off a certain special effect (there's YouTube for that).
- Performance depends on your PC power. If you have a weak PC or barely meet the minimal requirements, this program will crash often or freeze. It will chew up your RAM/CPU like crazy.
- Special effects have to be created manually from scratch. Let's look at it this way, if you've been creating videos with a software program like Windows Movie Maker, Movie Studio 11 will seem tedious. Windows Movie Maker has organized all their pre-made special effects in the menus so you can quickly plug em in your videos, change the duration, and move on to the next effect. With Movie Studio 11, for the most part, you have to create those effects from scratch. Most are not pre-made for you (some are). This can be time-consuming and tedious, especially if you just want to create a simple video. A simple video with five special effects would take me no more than 5 minutes to edit in Movie Maker while it would take 15-30 minutes in Movie Studio.
- Only creates videos in MP4s. Can't read audio from .avi files. Has to sync sound or 'build' the sound of each new video added, which can take an hour for the program to do (annoying) and really chews up CPU in the process. Don't have the option to compress video to smaller size (I miss VHS quality from Movie Maker). Files are not compatible with a lot of other program files like Windows Media Player (iTunes or Quick Time only). Program takes a minute to open (does crash often during this process). Can't create simple text slides; often moderate or difficult to do. Leaves a lot of trace files behind in your folders. Seems to have trouble working with raw video files; creates video lag, sound lag, static, etc (Best to render those raw files in another video program then bring it over to Movie Studio).
Overall, if you can get this thing to work as it is suppose to without video lag, sound lag, crashes, compatibility issues, or problems in general, it is the greatest movie making software ever. It is when you begin encountering problems does this thing seem completely worthless/useless and frustrating. The bottom line, if you are a techy person or want to create better more advanced videos, this is your video editing software. Remember, there is NO SUCH THING AS SIMPLE when creating a project with Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD 11. You want simple, stick with Windows Movie Maker.

Good software, lots of capability...
By SuperDave
I learned to use the Sony Movie Studio software using version 9 on my dual-core 4GB Windows 7 system. After some time version 9 started crashing whenever rending my project to a movie, so I downloaded the version 11 trial. (I have since purchased the full version 11.)That seemed to solve the problem of rendering/exporting my project to video. I did not try any tech support options...
Software has a very good built-in help file that is searchable, AND it contains an interactive tutorial. However as described in previous summaries if you're new to video editing (like I was and probably still am at this time of writing) the learning curve is a little steep. But the tools are there, kudos to Sony for their help file.
I have never used other video editing software so I cannot compare. This software has A LOT of features which is probably why creating your first video may take copious amounts of time and energy. I think you'll find your end results to be worth that time and energy spent.
Software can create a project containing up to 10 video tracks- so the help file tells me. Currently I am editing a project using 6-8 total tracks without a problem. There are a lot of special effects available, including the ability to tweak the lighting in your video. There are a lot of transition effects available to smoothly go from one video cut to another. There is frame-by-frame editing and the ability to zoom in and out of the project timeline, which gives more control especially when customizing transitions. Software also contains the ability to import multiple videos but just cut out the pieces you need and add to your project so that you're just working with the video pieces you need in your final project.
Software exports to multiple movie formats and has options to take any project you are working on and export it to a smaller-size video to use online and/or export to a larger size higher-quality video to playback on a DVD.
Software takes about 30 seconds to open my current project, a 29min video. Version 11 has not crashed at all. It takes approximately 3 hours to render this 29min project video to a high-quality movie file.
Software does not have any sound editing capability however it does integrate with Sony's SoundForge, so the help file tells me.
Software does not create a DVD for playback. It only creates movie files which, using other softwares- many freely available - can be burned to a DVD for playback on a regular DVD player.
I give the Sony Vegas Movie Studio software version 11 a 5-star rating as it does everything I need and does it well and has a great help file. I have been using software for a year and am not disappointed.

Not worth it
By Bill N.
I tried to make a simple disc from pictures I already have on my system. I got the pictures to the progarm but found it very hard to add my music and sync together for a slide show. I am about ready to give up. I guess its back to shopping.
