5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Software for AVCHD editing, September 9, 2008
By Andrew J. Stafford (Saint Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For those of you who are looking to edit AVCHD video I cannot recommend this software enough. I purchased Vegas 9 to edit video shot on my Canon HG10 AVCHD camcorder after being disappointed with Nero Ultimate (the renderings had interlacing problems in non-still shots). Being new to video editing, I didn't find the interface in Vegas very intuitive at first. However, after watching a few youtube tutorial videos I became quite comfortable in the environment. Also, Vegas 9 has some built-in tutorials for basic editing that I found quite helpful.

Don't just take my word for it, you can TRY it first for 30 days if you download the trial from Sony's website. I have a pretty powerful computer (Quad core, 4G RAM, 9800 GTX) so you might want to test it on your system before purchasing for AVCHD editing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Vidoe Editing Software, October 6, 2008
By GAD "bogeyman62" (Charlotte, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent product for the home video producer. I have successfully used it to produce a 40 minute high definition video. My video camera is the Sony HDR-HC9 high definition camcorder. This camcorder records in 1440 x 1080, 16:9 aspect ratio. The software detected my camera automatically and captures and writes back to the camera without any problems.

I produced two outputs. One was a high definition video output back to the HDR-HC9 tape camcorder. When played through the HDMI cable connected to my Samsung HDTV, the results were outstanding. I could not see any difference in the quality of the video between the original recorded tape, and the rendered completed production.

My second output for the same video was to a Standard Definition DVD. When I played this DVD on an up-converting 1080p OPPO DVD player, the results were very good on the Samsung HDTV. It would take a sharp eye to tell the difference from the tape version.

I did not produce a blue-ray DVD as I do not have a blue ray DVD player.

The software does not require a supercomputer to run. My computer is a six year old Dell Dimension 8200, 2.0 GHz, 1 Gig memory, with a 120 Gig Hard Drive with 80 gig free memory. The software never crashes. When I produced my DVD movie, it automatically launched the included DVD Architect module without any problems. When capturing and rendering a movie, I made the follwoing adjustments: disable all network connections; shut down anti-virus and anti-spyware programs; disabled my sreen saver. I did this to maximize available memory and to prevent any interuptions to the capturing and rendering process. I did not experience any dropped frames.

The rendering time for producing the tape output movie was about 5 to one. It took 200 minutes to render a 40 minute movie, and another 40 minutes to write it to tape in the videocam. The rendering time for producing the standard definition DVD was quite a bit longer, about 8 hours for the 40 minute movie, plus another 10 minutes to write it out to the DVD. Since this is usually the last step in the movie production process, it is not a problem. I just do the final DVD rendering overnight.

I assume rendering times are reduced if you have a more powerful computer. All editing functions performed without problems and very quickly.

The software can also be opened in two instances which allows you to produce sub-projects and then copy and paste them into a final production.

The learning curve is modest, but if you have used other video editing software, you should be able to get going in a few days. I had previously tried another product offered by Amazon (Corel ULead) but it kept crashing and did not interface correctly with my Sony HD video camera. Fortunately, Amazon gave me a full refund and I switched to Vegas Movie Studio. I would highly recommend it.

My final advice to high definition movie makers: use a tripod.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the Few Ways To Edit M2TS Files, October 15, 2008
By John Peterson (Anaheim, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased an Canon HD camera which uses a hard drive to record video and thought it wouldn't be any problem to edit. Wow, was I wrong!! Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 was one of a few programs that could handle editing these files. Still new to the program, but it seems to be well constructed with very helpful dialogue boxes to get you to understand how the program works. I just wish I could condense the files better so I could email them. Still learning more about what the program can do. It was money well spent.
