4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent lineage, but will it be updated?, October 6, 2004

This review is from: Nova Video Explosion Deluxe (CD-ROM)

Video Explosion Deluxe has a great heritage. Its nearly identical to Sony Screenblast Movie Studio v3 (both came from Sonic Foundry before Sony bought out their media division). It also bears a striking resemblance to Sony Vegas, a high-end professional editor. There's a lot of power built into this software, especially for the price. There's some excellent transitions, and the color-correction is quite good as well. The included clips are only so-so, but some may get a use from them. Rendering time seems a bit slow (usually takes 3x the length of the video to render it; ie: a 1 hour video takes 3 hours to render on an AMD 3200+ with 1 GB of RAM). But the rendering is excellent - no noticeable video noise added at all.

My only concern is the lack of updates from Nova Development. They don't seem concerned with updating the software. When I bought this, for example, Ulead VideoStudio was on v6. Ulead's gone onto issue two more versions, and Nova's still on 1.3. Its still a better product than Ulead, but I'd like to see commitment.

I have about 10 consumer video editing software...and Video Explosion Deluxe is the BEST for this category. It has 3 video tracks. 3 audio tracks . It comes with 4 CDs with lots of video clips and music.I was very impressed when I edited my stills some I took off the background, and put this on track two with a nice video (or another still:nature)on track one and a frame or title on track 3...For me VIDEO EXPLOSION DELUXE is between consumer and pro video editing. (Portuguese: Eu tenho uns 10 software de editar videos...e Video Explosion Deluxe e um dos melhores nesta categoria .Isto tem 3 tracks de videos. 3 tracks de audio. vem com 4 CDs com bastante video clips e musicas. Fiquei impressionada quando editei algumas fotos que tirei o background e coloquei no track 2,no track 1 um video ou outra foto com paisagem de natureza e no track 3 uma palavra ou moldura. Para mim VIDEO EXPLOSIOM DELUXE esta entre o basico e o profissional de edicao de videos).

This is probally the best video software for and prosumer out there. I have used pinnacle software and others but not match up to the solid performance of this product. At first when i opened it i thought it was a waste, but into 20 minutes of messing around with all its features i knew this was for me. It is bundled with 5 discs including Sonic My DVD witch it a simple dvd software with great performance. You can export your movie in literally any format. Even HD to quicktime. I have only had one problem and that was when i tried a demo to sony vegas 5.0, it was identicall to this software but more advanced. Im not sure what the relation is but I was still hooked on this program. The only word of advice i have is for people that already have this product, if you have advanced and have mastered this software, go ahead and save up for a copy of sony vegas. It lets u have unlimted video layers and twice as many video effects and transitions. So i guess im done saying how much I love this program. So dont fall for other product reviews this is the program for you.
