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

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. It may require a little fiddling to find it, but there's a surprising amount of functionality. Not bloatware at all, which is appreciated, since I usually have at least 3 or 4 programs running at once. 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.

It crashes. THAT is when you find out that Vista 64 bit is not supported.This problem has been around for quite a while.

It certainly would have stopped me from ordering it.Do yourself a favor. This tiny piece of data could have been mentioned on the website.

Vegas is just what the name implies.Its a crap shoot as to whether or not it will work. Re-run and it crashes.You go through this crap a few times and then you contact support at Sony.Guess what.

Use something else because it is this lack of attention to detail that indicates that the Sony name no longer means quality. You order the software and install it.

You read the documentation and see that Vista is supported.

With a little experience I can create a video production in no time. I also render video to post on You Tube. I could not be more pleased with the use and results.

Nothing could be easier. Here is an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch.v=YPxVVUchHAAIt is called The World Famous White River. I use a JVC High Definition camcorder to produce high def DVDs with astounding clarity.

I have paid about ten times as much for a lesser product. If you want another transition instead of a simple fade, just drag the transition into the overlap space. Tip: under the right side of the video you can select "watch in high quality."

With a year under my belt, I am a little scared to upgrade to Vegas 9. To fade in and out of both video and sound you simply drag the video to overlap the preceding video.

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). I registered my version 8 product but received no offer for free upgrade to version 9.0. I believe that this is a good product, but I would recommend investing your money towards the newer version. Buyer Beware. Just my thoughts. 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 took delivery of this product from Amazon on 28 August 2008. In this case, however, I learned after installing the product that there is a version 9.0 of this product.

It doesn't get 5 stars because the DVD architect software is not as user friendly as the movie editing portion. 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.
