It’s really great to use since i downloaded the trail but I rather but it out of the store because buying it use for 70 dollars someone could damage it.

I recently went on a Wash DC tour with 55 kids from my daughters’ school. Bought a Sony dv camcorder and recorded about 6 hours of the trip. My goal was to edit it down to 2 hours and give each of the kids a copy of the trip. Upon returning from the tour I went out and purchased the Sony Vegas editing program and a Sony dvd burner. Like an idiot, I assumed all the Sony components would work easily with each other. My first clue to the opposite was when the dvd burner came supplied, not with the Sony Vegas, but with a worthless start-up Nero editing program that freezes every time you attempt to record. Why would Sony include a competitor’s product instead of their own? It’s because the Sony Vegas editing program is totally useless. Some of the reviews refer to the learning curve being somewhat difficult. No kidding!!! Sony Vegas is actually two programs; First, you upload all of the dvd discs onto the Vegas editing program. Then you click “make movie” and it “renders” your program onto the “Sony Architect” program (for less than 3 hours worth of video took almost 12 hours to “render”!!!) Fiddled around Architect for a couple hours just trying to get ANYTHING to burn on the Sony burner; gave up, shut down the computer. A short time later returned to Architect only to find out that the 12 hours of “rendering” had disappeared. (Yes, I had saved my work!) Everything was gone. Anyway, almost 3 weeks later have given up on trying to edit the program. Now just trying to make a copy of one of the 30-minute discs. Can’t find anything in either of the manuals or “help” sections that address this. Also contains a totally useless text tutorial that freezes after the first frame. I will never buy another overrated Sony product again. ABORT!!! if thinking about buying Sony Vegas !!!

This software is to complicated for the average DV camcorder owner. After reading the full manual all I could produce on DVD was sound no video. I spend weeks reading and following the manual insturctions (poorly written) waisted 20 DVD discs. You need to be an experienced professional who understands how to edit time lines and video tracks and markers. I gave up I deleted it from my computer and the software sits in the box. This is not the software to buy if you only want to put your vacation videos form a DV camcorder onto a DVD. Try using Ulead Movie Factory 5 for slower computers or Movie Factory 6 for faster computers, it is easy to use and understand.

Though it says it will, it will NOT open any of my AVI files with the video – only the audio shows up.
Pinnacle, ULead, and Windows Movie Maker, all had no problems opening them – But Sony Vegas Movie Studio did!
And you better allow a couple of hours just to download the 66MB patch for this product, Sony’s web site throttles you to about 8KB/sec! – Thats over 1-3/4 hours! Absurd! (especially when you have broadband)
Havn’t even used this thing but I regret buying it already.
Sony’s on my “never buy again” list.

I have the Sony HDR-HC3, so I had to get Vegas in order to edit the HD video. It is incredibly slow. I thought a new processor would help things, but it didn’t. I now have the Intel Core2Duo E6600, one of the fastest available, along with 1GB of RAM, and it still hangs, doesn’t respond, and is a pain to use. I wish Windows Movie Maker could import HD. It has 90% of the useful features Vegas does, but not all. As I write this review, it is in the background chugging away and unresponsive just because I zoomed out to view the whole project… not converting, not burning, just zoomed out. I’ll probably have to kill the process again.
