Good but Beware! Sep 09, 2008
Buyer Beware! I took delivery of this product from Amazon on 28 August 2008. I normally (correctly)assume that my Amazon purchases are getting me the latest available edition of books, etc., and that is usually the case. In this case, however, I learned after installing the product that there is a version 9.0 of this product. 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. 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.

a better software product Sep 02, 2008
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.

Quick convenience vs control Aug 29, 2008
I went from using Windows Movie Maker to Vegas Movie Studio 8 Platinum Edition. I lost a lot of quick convenient presets but gained intimate control over all transitions in my movies.

Good Luck Getting Your Rebate & Updating Aug 27, 2008
Product is OK. Fairly user friendly and does job for what I need. However, I would not recommend buying this software for 3 reasons. First, it is month 4 after purchase and I have yet to receive my rebate. Second: I have tried repeatedly to install the free upgrade to the package with no success. And finally, the initial installation itself was made extremely difficult by Sony's registration and validation process. After 2 phone calls (which I am pretty sure got routed to a call center in India)and 45 minutes on the phone, I was able to get the software installed. I would not purchase this software unless you are really OK with all of the labor and time involved and of course NOT getting the money back promised to you by Sony and not backed up by Amazon.
Update 10/22/08: Amazon should not sell anymore Sony products with rebates. A short internet search combined with my awful experience confirms that it is almost impossible to get your rebate. Amazon should force Sony to just give customers the reduced price up front.

Sony's Vega Movie Studio 8 Platinum Edition is EVERYTHING YOU NEED!!! Jul 25, 2008
I was referred to the Vegas Movie Studio 8 Platinum by someone that has vast knowledge with developing VS4. I was telling them that I couldn't get the chroma-key feature to work very well with their program, and they suggested I purchase Vegas 8. Within an hour of getting Vegas, I had my chroma-key work finished, and published my video to the web. Very pleased! I have also used the audio editing features many times since I purchased Vegas 8. I subscribe to a 4 hour daily MP3 download of a popular AM broadcast that runs while I'm sleeping, and the files come in 4 parts to reduce download size. I now easily drop the 4 files into Vegas, select all, group, and render the files into one customized file. Works GREAT! I like to poke around with programs, but honestly, I bought Vegas to "bang-out" the chroma-key video and be done with a project that was already over due. You can view my video and judge for yourself. I placed a .jpg background, and dropped the video right on top and chroma-key'd out the green screen. Go to (in code, of course) double-u double-u double-u dot mysaturnjob dot com, and select "Watch The Video". Again, this was done with Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8 Platinum Edition in about 60 minutes, with NO experience at all (I opened up the VERY intuitive help feature and followed the instruction). For the price, I think that I've already got my money's worth, and as with ALL my Amazon.Com purchases, super fast shipment with absolutely NO problems. Thanks and good luck with your purchase. ONE LAST THING...PLEASE let me know if my review helps you out. Personally, I find reviews very helpful so I would like to know if you agree or disagree. Thanks!!! TBB
