Just over a year old, it was $400 originally, now $200 on Amazon.
Or you can get it for a $20 donation along with a FLEET of other production software that I know nothing about, but will be fun to play with.

Just an FYI for those looking for a good video editor. This is my 4th time to get a Vegas related editor. It's a great product and you can't beat the price.

Thanks! They have really butched Windows Movie Maker with each version of Windows.

To the point that it's gone! LOL
I really liked WMM for what it was, perfect for quick videos. Instead we get a bunch of crap add on's now!
This is my first time to buy from HB. So far it's gone really well, although the downloads are on the slow side.

Total noob question but the title sounds familiar... is it used to record and edit videos? Or just edit?

Edit. Used to be "Sony Vegas" or the lower version was Sony Movie Studio.

I see! Anybody have experience with this? My wife used to make a lot of videos using WMM (for birthdays and special occasions for family) and was quite annoyed that it didn't come in Win10.

I have no experience with the current version, but casually browsing it looks very similar to the older "Pro" versions. From the sounds of it, she will find everything she needs with this program. And a whole lot more she will never understand! It is a very complex and flexible tool if it is anything like previous iterations. I found the old versions very simple and easy to learn in regards to the basic functionality. And the Vegas line of software has always been light on system requirements compared to Abode's counterparts, but I have no idea how that may have changed. For $20 it is probably worth the gamble as I think she'll learn the basics fairly quickly. The interface looks fairly similar.

Occasionally you will see the older "Vegas Movie Studio" versions for sale, and while those are also good I found them to be a bit limiting. Some of those started limiting video and/or audio tracks (I cannot recall if both and the maximum allowed number count) and started to feature a tablet interface. Now that Sony has washed their hands of the Vegas line, I'm not too sure what will become of it. But I would assume even 4-5 years down the line it will still work fine.

I'm in for 25 bucks. At that price, it's four shots of whisky and a beer at a bar.

[edit]

Be prepared for a very long download. Apparently they have a handset pulled into their modems over there.

Once you get over the overload of buttons and options, you'll find that in general it works much like WMM did. Just a WHOLE lot more, but the basics are still the same. Drop, drag, slide. Easy fade transitions just like WMM did etc.
The most obvious difference vs Sony Movie Studio is the number of video tracks. On mine, 12, it's limited to just a few, whereas on this one it's unlimited. Not much of a factor for basic home video edits or game footage, but now and then it gets in the way. Better transitions, supposedly this is a little more resource friendly, but I don't see much difference there. The preview playback is MUCH better. What would've been a slideshow on best setting is just fine now. Otherwise, it's familiar.
Also, this does 4k and high fps, whereas on SMS 12 I could barely do 60fps on 1080i.
This thing is a bargain!

Ever watch Survivorman? He used Vegas Pro to edit his show.
Vegas is VERY VERY well documented with tutorials and tips on youtube as well as many forums. If you want to learn something, it just takes a quick search to come up with the answer. I like that as much as anything else. No need to waste time trying to find something when you can immediately find a quick video showing you what to do.

Hi Raw Kryptonite, I started with Vegas at version 4.5 and have been with it ever since. Currently I'm on version 12. I guess some company called Magix bought it?

I remember when Sonic Foundry started it - that was the whole reason I decided to try it. I was using their Sound Forge for audio editing and decided that the familiar interface might be an intuitive entry into the world of non-linear video editing.

Anyway, it's been a great product. I use it for my job even though my employer supplies me with all Adobe products. I admit that Premier and After Effects are probably superior in many ways, but I have yet to find Vegas lacking for my needs. Indeed, it can do way more than I have yet to discover.

And yes, YouTube can cover just about any tutorial you might want for your editing. Just as long as you don't mind the occasional 10 year old kid schooling you. smile


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

I wish I knew more about it and had a real reason to use it. I’ve thought about finding a class to learn what you can do, but it doesn’t change that I don’t have enough serious use. It’s fun though.

Wow, that's a ton of software for $20 - almost $1k worth. Looks like I'll be busy...thanks for the tip Raw!


Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”
