Summary: Best software so far
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great product and easy to use
Comment: 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.
