Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11

[TheInvertedYAxis]

Is this program capable of any kind of sound ducking or audio ducking. By ducking i mean, you can have the sound effects volume automatically lower itself while a narrator speaks. when the narrator finished, audio levels automatically re adjust to normal

[sbugiardo]

@MN12BIRD please, with this program can you outline something on a video and put it on top of another video? Or can you make a certain color transparent so to change the background?

[shadowoble101]

Hey man I'm just looking to make fairly simple skateboard edits. Would you suggest this program? I am not in the market for Vegas pro so I looked into this. Is it just like windows movie maker but just more advanced?

[MrLeoonardo1]

what camera used?



[MN12BIRD]

@MrLeoonardo1 Just a Canon Power Shot A2200 $100 point and shoot digital camera that takes 720p video. Not great, but not bad for $100.

[fireredd2day]

IS IT BETTER THAN MAGIX EDIT PRO 18

[MN12BIRD]

@fireredd2day I dunno never heard of that until now. It looks okay and easy to use. Sony is probably harder to do some simple things that make the videos look nice. Extra features are hard to figure out in Sony. So Magix might be better for most people but I dunno how well it works.

[PlausiblyIllogical]

are you Canadian?

[MN12BIRD]

@PlausiblyIllogical Yep

[PlausiblyIllogical]

i got the production suit normally 130ish for 60 bucks at frys because they match amazon prices

[Captain85Kurt]

I have to ask, does it also have the green screen?

[MN12BIRD]

@Captain85Kurt Honestly dude I have no idea! I would guess it does but I better not say because I don't know for sure. If I find out I'll tell ya.

[AverageGamer2009]

i got this on EBAY for $17.50.

[crazyfooInc]

If you liked Uncharted 1 you're going to absolutely LOVE Uncharted 2, @MN12BIRD. Also, how does Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 compare with the Pro versions of Sony Vegas?

[MN12BIRD]

@crazyfooInc From what I've heard they share the same core but Movie Studio has a lot of features taken out. Not sure exactly what but I don't think this one supports 64-bit or hardware GPU acceleration and probably has less effects too. There's a huge price difference so they must have taken out a lot!

[crazyfooInc]

@MN12BIRD

Gotcha, thanks for the information! ^_^. I was thinking about "upgrading" from Vegas 9 Pro to this for easier access, but I guess I'll just buckle down and learn the ropes of the more complex program, :-D.

[thefadedline]

"full-blown"

[MN12BIRD]

@thefadedline Well compared to using Windows Movie Maker yeah! I mentioned this is for home use and not professional use like Vegas Pro, Premiere CS5 or Final Cut Pro those are in another league.

[thefadedline]

@MN12BIRD No I know, I was referring to the amount of times you said it :) It looks like a great program. I just watched your Shove It! review to see it in action. I've never really used anything other than WMM and an old version of Roxio Video Lab (which I always thought did the job brilliantly) but this looks tempting given the price.

[fyphfoko]

the editing suit look a little like the magix one i use, which is a similar deal

[ProjectReality64]

I use vegas 9 and its great

[JarrodDrover123]

wish uncharted was for 360 all i hear is good things.

[austinmackert]

Vegas Movie Studio is excellent for anyone that wants to get a little more serious with their YouTube videos. It has a LOT of power when you get to really toying with it. Lots of automation options, lots of effects, etc. I personally picked up version 10 a few months back for $50 NIB on eBay via a BIN listing. Getting version 11 for $60 is a steal!

[whileheavenwept]

I would love to hear your impressions/review of uncharted 2 when you finish it. Easily one of my favourite games on the ps3 and probably this generation. Everything from the pacing, story, and gameplay was spot on with that one.

[fvgotch]

Wow... you actually spent $60 for that? I did not think you would spend any more than $10 for anything considering how thrifty (or cheap) you are, and I say it in a good way. :)

[superman1234393]

Looks like it probably comes in handy.

[jose5080007]

I need to get this

[SomedaysDreamersBC]

100 bux only? that seems well worth the cost of admission.

[TheDVDGamer]

i was looking at getting this , because i need something that will do 60fps,,,, is there much audio editing in it,.. i need something that has an EQ for audio

[IronChariots]

MPEG-4 is a video codec; AVI is a container format. Converting the container format doesn't degrade the video quality because it doesn't require the video to be re-encoded.

[spedknot]

can't really go wrong with torrenting either :D

[sonic3243]

@spedknot DRM makes it a living hell.

[dreamcast65]

do you plan on doing a review of the uncharted games? thanks.

[MN12BIRD]

@dreamcast65 Might do that someday.

[mumbo666]

I have this Video Editor too.

[sithwarrior]

When using the demo I had problems with the formats that my hauppauge HDPVR makes(MP4.,TS.,M2TS.) would freeze/crash all the time or else I would have jumped on this, I just have to stick with Pinnacle Studio 12 HD :(

[joshbot360]

Uncharted 2 was my first PS3 game that i got and i still haven't played the first one yet.

[joshbot360]

What is Boxing Day?

Nice software, i tried out the free trial and it is a little overwhelming but it does throw Windows Live Movie Maker off a cliff in comparison. I mostly edit my videos with Windows Live Movie Maker and it does the job fine but i did notice occasionally that it does freeze. Im thinking about picking this up.

Great Video =)

[cmarshall1018]

@joshbot360 Boxing day is Christmas Day in Canada and is on December 26.

[TheDVDGamer]

@joshbot360 in when everyone in canada fights eachother

[sonic3243]

@TheDVDGamer lol

[TheMachinimanator]

ive used every movie maker. final cut is difficult to use, makes no sense, and works with few formats, and hd is choppy on a quad core. preimere, same thing. avid, same. vegas, best.

[ghostmouthzach56]

IBM Model M?

[MN12BIRD]

@ghostmouthzach56 Yep ;)

[sonic3243]

@MN12BIRD have you heard of the Unicomp Model M? They bought the rights to the Model M and you can get it in Grey/Black with a Windows key and choice of USB or PS/2.

It's probably the best keyboard out there... I'd like a Microsoft Natural Keyboard with the Windows 9x logo and IBM Model M buckling springs! And backlighting too... and a Logitech 320x240 screen... and, oh wait... I'm getting too hopeless lol

DON'T FORGET A CUPHOLDER!

[LordReserei01]

After Effects and Premier are different programs used for different reasons, one for visual FX and the other for video editing - respectively.

[SeaShellNecklaceBrah]

Sony supports SOPA.

I'm never buying another Sony Product in my life.

[TimeSplittA]

@SeaShellNecklaceBrah They pulled out last week, along with Microsoft.

[SeaShellNecklaceBrah]

@TimeSplittA No, they claim they did.

And only a little.

There are plenty of posts on Reddit that say they didn't really pull out.

Besides, they can't just *not* support something that they once supported. They still support it, just not publicly.

[lakicar1989]

aww,just downlad it.

[CrysisLTU2]

Sony Vegas is my favorite video editor.

[yuriythebest]

I actually use Vegas 10 Pro for Stereoscopic 3D editing and it's awesome

[ArcadeMameMachine]

The only thing I don't like between Vegas Pro and Movie Studio is that the project file are not transferable, which makes you start the project from scratch if you already have a project prepared in Movie Studio to Vegas Pro or vice verses, it would just make things easier.

[NerdHelpDesk]

Sony vegas is an excellent video editor, i use vegas pro myself.

[crusherbad64]

What's your PSN name on the PS3? I'm on the PS3 a lot. And both of those games are really good. I need to get around to the third one though. Is Sony Movie Studio Platinum 11 that big an improvement over say using Windows Movie Maker on Windows 7?

[brett3xmvpfavre4]

I got the $50 version a couple of weeks ago, and it is working fine for me so far.

[RetroGamerVX]

Yes, I use Vegas Pro, with Blender assisting for special effects (or at least will be from my next video) :o)

[dedalus22]

great pick:)

[orangeActiondotcom]

Normally not a big Sony fan, I cringed when they gobbled up Sonic Foundry in the 00's because Sound Forge, ACID and Vegas were all products I've used for years. Since then, it seems that Sony has largely let them do their thing. Vegas is a great app, and there are a few versions, but they're all built on the same core, just with different features disabled. Even the cheapest version will probably do for quickly tossing together YouTube video, or homemade DVDs.

[thewii552]

Do I see an IBM model M? I approve.

[MN12BIRD]

@thewii552 Heh yes you do.

[thewii552]

@MN12BIRD I love that thing. I have one, and swear by it.

[LordReserei01]

I love Sony Vegas - been using Pro for quite some time for all of my videos, on Pro 11 right now. Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 isn't that much different and definitely the best bang for the buck.

[MaxinMaytrix]

I have Vegas HD 9 and it works great even today!

[fuyingbro]

i have used vegas but i prefer corel video studio pro 4x. just more user friendly. vegas encoding video was usually 6 times the size of file at the end compared

[Polaventris]

Best bang for your buck video editing software, thats for sure. I'm using the same one.
