You can check some of my previous postings, even as crazy and memory hungry as Adobe Premier Elements has been I always thought it was the best user interface...just a great simple to understand interface to get things done. Having said that I was not confident in recommending it to countless friends who asked for my recommendation on editing software for their home video. Most of them simply did not have the computing power and memory to overcome Premier Elements memory hog headaches.
In addition to Adobe I have used Magix Movie Edit Pro, Corel VideoStudio Pro and Pinnacle Studio. Magix is a second to this new Sony release; however, NOT a close second...just second.
I am comfortable now in recommending Sony's Vegas Movie Studio HD. Yes you need some specific computer power and memory but from what I have thrown at it so far (1080P MTS and AVCHD files from my Canon, Samsung and Pentax Camcorders...it has performed flawlessly.
I have also enjoyed a stress-free, crash-free rendering and burning to DVD all types and lengths of video footage.
It appears that Sony got this right and we will all benefit from it.
If Adobe was ever to get off it's tail and actually add some real user value to a next release...as well as do something about it's memory appetite and unstableness I might go back, but for now I'm making Sony Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0 my goto app for video.

Last summer we bought Movie Platinum 8 and after working on little videos we became so frustrated with the rendering time we gave up even using it last summer and haven't used it since. (It took 14-24 hours to render a video on a dual core operating system (not duo core)!) Finally, this summer we upgraded to a quad core with an i7 processor and Movie Platinum 10 and it made a world of difference. Super fast! Incredible! Software is loaded with features--so much so we haven't begun to look at everything. It also allows you to burn blu-ray. But lesson learned, when it comes to video editing, you just can't cut corners on the computer side of things. Sony should tell you that so you're prepared to spend the extra bucks before buying the software.

After reading countless reviews of HD video editing software I became convinced that no matter which product I purchased, I'd be stuck with a product likely to be unstable and experience frequent crashes.
I considered the following candidates:
* Corel VideoStudio Pro X2
* Pinnacle Studio Plus Version 12
* Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10
Because of the trial version download option for Sony Vegas Movie Studio I decided on this package. Please note that burning the rendered video requires a second package named DVD Architect Studio.
I transferred the AVCHD video from my Sony HDR-CX150 camcorder into the Sony Vegas Movie Studio without any problems. I then created a 20 minute video with added audio track and included a slideshow, and then burned the DVD. I went back several times and edited the video by cutting or adding clips and changing the audio tracks. Every time I burned a new DVD, again without any hiccups.
I should point out that the final version is a mpg-2 file burned on a DVD disc. I don't have a Blu-ray disc burner and hence wasn't able to produce a true 1080p video. But the results for the 480p DVD output played on my 1080p flat screen TV was still very impressive. Rendering the 20 minute video took about 40 minutes and burning a DVD another 4 minutes. During the use of both the Sony Vegas Movie Studio 10 and the Sony DVD Architect Studio I have not experienced any performance problems or any other issues with its functionality. I used a Toshiba Satellite A665-S6050, running Windows 7, with Intel Core i3 processor and 4 GB RAM. I can highly recommend the Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10 and the DVD Architect Studio 5 products. There will be a learning curve for both products, but it's worth the investment in time.
