  • Pros

    Improved, customizable interface. Multicam editing. Lots of effects and transitions, with plug-in capability.

  • Cons

    Usability trails competitors. Crashes occasionally. Weak multicam implementation. Rendering is slow unless you get all the settings right.

  • Bottom Line

    Vegas Movie Studio receives minor improvements in this iteration, but remains less usable, slower, and lacking in tools compared with other consumer-grade video editing apps.

  • Sony Movie Studio Suite 13 Key Features: 1- Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 13.0.955 Full + Crack comes first in the list. This software allows to create videos in 4K, XAVCS, AVCHD and HD format up to 1080p and includes video effects and editing tools.

Vegas Movie Studio is the consumer-level video editing software counterpart to Vegas Pro. Both applications started life as Sony products and now are part of the Magix collection of creative software. Though trailing the field in usability during their Sony days, both apps are getting refreshed interfaces and features under the auspices of Magix. The latest changes in Vegas include a simplified and customizable interface, support for HEVC H.265 content, improved 4K and hardware acceleration, and an instant freeze-frame effect. Vegas is a slightly better bet than it used to be, but it still trails the competition from Adobe, Corel, and CyberLink in usability, performance, support for new content types, and special effects.

Getting Started With Vegas Movie Studio

Vegas Movie Studio is available at three levels: $49.99 gets you the base edition, and for $79.99 you get Platinum (reviewed here), which adds Blu-ray authoring, NewBlueFX transitions, 3D editing, color matching, stabilization, color correction, time stretching, picture-in-picture, and plug-in support. The $139.99 Movie Studio Suite adds a passel of third-party video and audio effects. Platinum is the sweet spot, with enough tools to have serious fun and creativity with your media. There is a 30-day free trial, so you needn't pay until you're sure Vegas is for you.

The software runs on 64-bit versions of Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10, with 4GB RAM recommended. You first download a small installer app that gives you a choice of components to download, such as the NewBlue effects and the separate Music Maker program. The video editor tool takes up 819MB of disk space right after installation, which isn't excessive. You get a choice of five interface languages: English, French, German, Polish, and Spanish. I tested the software on a 4K-display-equipped Asus Zen AiO Pro Z240IC running 64-bit Windows 10 Home with 16GB of RAM, a quad-core Intel Core i7-6700T CPU, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M graphics card.

The Vegas Interface

Vegas Movie Studio's interface it is much improved, no longer dizzying the onlooker with its former miasma of buttons and menus. Instead, it offers a modern-looking dark interface with just a modicum of buttons. The trimming may have gone too far; sometimes I found myself looking for a button that's common in most other programs, only to discover it had been removed. There are, for example, small buttons below the timeline, but none above, which most programs have for the major trimming options, audio, effects, and so on. Even Final Cut Pro offers these. Instead, to add an effect or transition (apart from automatic crossfades), you have to open what looks like a File Explorer list.

The new Quick Start panel at top left helps in creating this impression, with its simple step-numbered choices of Add Video and Audio, Add Text and Graphics, Create Transitions, Add Video Effects, and Make Movie. My fresh installation was preloaded with a sample project, which is another helpful touch for getting started.

But the Quick Start window is somewhat of a tack-on; other programs such as Adobe Premiere Pro and others have entire modes (also called tabs or workspaces) that take you through the steps of importing, editing, outputting, and more. A new Add Media button makes assembly clearer. There's an option to save custom window Layouts, but there's not much guidance for using it.

There's no touch-screen-friendly option, which used to be a part of the program's Simple mode. Even the pro-level Adobe Premiere Pro offers a touch interface option. I am happy to see that Vegas adapts to high-DPI displays, however, showing appropriately sized controls rather than the tiny controls that unoptimized programs such as VSDC Video Editor Pro display.

The Show Me How tutorials highlight how to import, trim, edit 3D video, edit audio, add text, and more. That's useful, but there are still menu options that will perplex novices, such as Quantize to Frames, Post-Edit Ripple, and Build Dynamic RAM Preview. The top entry in the media Properties dialog is Tape Name! It's easy enough to leave these off-putting options alone, but the fact that they exist shows that the program still needs improvement when it comes to usability. You won't find any of this in a program that's truly designed for hobbyists, such as Corel VideoStudio or Adobe Premiere Elements.

The interface uses a standard three-panel view with source at top left, preview at top right, and timeline across the whole length of the bottom of the window. It makes more use of three-line 'hamburger' menus to hide multiple options. The track headers have been cleaned up a bit this way, no longer showing buttons for maximize, minimize, animate, and compositing mode. The new version adds a picture-in-picture track by default, which might be helpful to some novices. The layout is among the most flexible in its class: You can undock any panel and float it on the desktop, and you can save multiple preset layouts. Master channel volume meters (or master bus) show you the audio level at the right of the video preview.

Importing and Organizing in Vegas

You can import or capture DV, XDCAM, HDV, or AVCHD content, as well as use AVI, BMP, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, or WMV files on your disk. There's no support for MKV or 360-degree VR content. The program can import or export 4K content, for which it automatically creates proxy files for faster editing. One thing I like is that when you add a clip to the timeline, its scale adjusts to fill all the clips to the width of your view.

Instead of explicitly importing media, you simply browse your disk folder and choose content, which you can then add to the Project Media bin. There is also a Capture tool that lets you grab media from a FireWire device or DVD camcorder disc. The Search Media Bins tool listed keywords among its search parameters, but there's no way to add keywords to clips; you can only add them to projects.

Basic Editing

As with most current video editing software, you drag and drop clips from the source onto the timeline, where you have access to a choice of trimming tools, including shuffle, slip, slide, time-stretch, and split. The Trimmer lets you select a region of a source clip for insertion into the project, which is something you can't do in CyberLink PowerDirector, though pro-level software works this way. The timeline allows just 20 tracks—most other products let you add as many as you want. Corel VideoStudio is another exception, also allowing a maximum of 20 overlay tracks.

The timeline is easily navigable. Spinning the mouse wheel now moves the timeline back and forward instead of expanding and contracting it as it used to. There are two ways to move back and forth through your movie: Dragging the play head simply changes its position, but dragging it with Ctrl held down scrubs (or 'shuttles') through the video, with the sound playing at sped-up speed. There's also a separate Shuttle control at bottom left that you can speed up with a pointer indicator.

Each clip entry includes icons for cropping, FX, and an overflow menu. When you click the FX button a new window opens for adjusting pan/crop and effects. To get to transitions, FX, and the Trimmer, you click on tabs below the source panel. That's not visually very intuitive; every other consumer editor, and even the pro-level Apple Final Cut Pro X, has icons that visually indicate their purposes.

Scores of keyboard shortcuts let you perform operations quickly. The left side of each clip has helpful solo, mute, and FX buttons. Within each clip display on the timeline is a Pan-and-Crop icon, with more choices available from a right-click context menu.

Other outdated or pro-level aspects of Vegas Movie Studio are that it uses the term 'bins' and effects are shown in folders, though you do see preview thumbnails for those. The Search function helps mitigate this, however, making it easier to find media and effects. The search also works for non-transition effects.

A new touch for the Trimmer tool is hover scrub, which helps you find the point in the clip where you want to make a cut or set an in or out point. But the Trimmer window has been oversimplified to the point of being useless—most of its options are now in a dropdown menu, and it only shows one clip so you can't adjust splices. The Insert Region control is helpful because it lets you name a section of a clip, but in practice it's cumbersome to use. One tool I miss is a right-click option to remove empty track space, which most competing tools offer.

Getting Fancy with Digital Movies

Vegas Movie Studio offers loads of transitions and effects—literally hundreds. The transition previews show the effect with standard A>B demos, rather than with your own content, which would be more helpful. You can't always just drop a transition between clips and have the program figure out the necessary overlap the way most other consumer videos do. I had to increase the clip overlap, but there was no warning message about this, as other programs provide.

A simple star wipe opened a box with 14 different slider settings for the transition in my testing—you can set the number of arms the star had, its border color, feathering, animation direction, and more. That's a great level of control, but the lack of an automated option makes every transition a time-consuming custom affair, unless you choose the automatic crossfade option. I expect to see automated options in consumer-level software.

Effect plug-ins from the respected NewBlue come along with the Platinum level of Vegas Movie Studio, and you can install OpenFX effect plug-ins, including professional ones like those from Red Giant.

Time stretching is possible in Vegas Movie Studio—speeding footage up or putting it into or slow motion—but, again, there's no button or icon to click on to show you the feature exists. You simply have to know that you can either drag the left or right edge of a whole clip, hold Ctrl, and drag to enlarge or shrink the timeline entry. Alternatively, you can enter a playback rate factor in the clip's Properties dialog. But you can't just speed up or slow down part of a clip.

New for version 15 is a freeze-frame tool like that in Adobe Premiere Elements. I had a heck of a time finding the feature. It's not described in the Help, and doesn't show up in any of the top menus, for example in the Edit or Insert menus. To use it, you place the insertion point where you want the effect, and then tap the hamburger menu and choose Freeze Frame at Cursor. This simply inserts a 5-second still at the insertion point. That's usually too long, but you can trim the clip on the timeline with the standard tools.

Windows 8.1 serial key new. A bigger problem is that the clip's audio track is not adjusted, so when you use this Freeze Frame tool, everything after the effect will have out-of-sync audio, making the feature pretty much broken for the most common uses. The freeze frame tool in other software like Premiere Elements and Final Cut Pro X wisely leave a gap in the audio track so it stays in sync for the rest of the movie.

In my chroma-key test using a green screen to fake a background for my subject, I could either choose a green or blue screen or choose the dropper to set my background color to transparent. The initial result wasn't as simple and correct as with Premiere Elements and PowerDirector, but Vegas Movie Studio gives you high and low threshold sliders that let you clear the background nearly as effectively as those competing apps.

Forget picture-in-picture presets like those offered by PowerDirector and VideoStudio. You can now resize video within the preview window if you use the OFX plug-in. You have to go to the Video Event FX window with its host of adjustments to do either of these things. Finally, there is a stabilize tool buried in the Media FX options (I'd love more of these video effects to be available from a right-click), and it did a decent job smoothing out test footage—once I found it.

One tool you don't get in Vegas Movie Studio is any sort of motion tracking, which lets you follow an on-screen object with text or an effect. Most of the competition, including Corel VideoStudio, Premiere Elements, and CyberLink PowerDirector, have managed to add this capability.

Text Tools in Vegas Movie Studio

There's no tab or toolbar button to take you to the program's text tool: Text is just another choice under Media Generators tab. You can also get to this plug-in from the Insert menu. Your text can use any system font, and you can adjust the size and color to taste. You can't type directly on your preview window. You do so rather in the separate FX window—no WYSIWYG functionality here. You can also animate the text's position, scale, and pretty much every other property from clock icons next to each. The Media Generators tab offers presets for these text animations.

Color Match

Vegas Movie Studio's Color Match tool is somewhat of a pro-level feature, but it can make any video movie look better. This is good if you're shooting different angles with different light sources. The tool also has a Match Brightness option with an obvious and helpful function. Color Match opens a very tall window in which you can choose the source and target color match image or clip from the clipboard, a file, the screen or preview. I'd prefer simply being able to select video thumbnails or timeline clips for matching. In my testing, it was a subtle effect for most content, but the tool did improve clip uniformity.

3D Video Editing

Vegas Movie Studio supports AVCHD 3D and multi-stream 3D formats. It also lets you pair 3D subclips. Templates for 3D projects let you build for both the Internet and Blu-ray output. The program doesn't make editing and viewing 3D content as easy as Magix Movie Edit Pro or PowerDirector does, but the help shows you how to set up 3D editing and viewing. Movie Studio supports the popular Nvidia 3D Vision system as well as anaglyphic (red/blue) 3D glasses.

Still missing, however, is support for 360-degree VR content, which you get in PowerDirector, Corel VideoStudio, Pinnacle Studio, and Premiere Pro.

Multicam Editing in Vegas

Adding multicam support to Movie Studio is a nice boasting point, but the software doesn't perform the first step—syncing clips—automatically, as all other editors I've tested do. Instead, you have to eyeball the audio waveforms and line them up manually.

The program supports up to four angles, which is probably enough for most amateurs, but competitors allow more. All competing products I've tested show you the angle sources and the results of the edit; with Movie Studio, you can only see the resulting movie with an external monitor or after turning off multicam editing mode. As with all these tools, you click on the preview of the angle you want to have it appear in the final video. You can slide the cuts after for fine-tuning, but I found that this occasionally messed up my video alignment. Needless to say, the program's new multicam editing tools could use some polish.

Vegas Movie Studio Performance

Vegas Movie Studio can render your project in a timely manner—as long as you've got all the settings right. On my system with Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M graphics, I had to check Allow Legacy GPU rendering in the Options > Preferences menu and also choose Advanced Options after selecting an output target, and then choose Customize Template, where there's a dropdown with a 'Render using GPU if available' choice. If you don't go through all this, rendering takes more than twice as long as for many competing products. It took me several tries to get all the settings right for fast rendering, and I doubt the average consumer editor would get there before giving up.

Once I got the settings tweaked, I tested rendering time by creating a movie consisting of four clips of mixed types (some 1080p, some SD, some 4K) with a standard set of transitions and rendered it to 1080p30 MPEG-4 at 15Mbps, H.264 High Profile. Audio was MPEG AAC Audio: 192 Kbps. The computer I used is an Asus Zen AiO Pro Z240IC running 64-bit Windows 10 Home and sporting a 4K display, 16GB RAM, a quad-core Intel Core i7-6700T CPU, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M discrete graphics card.

The test movie (whose duration is just under 5 minutes) took Vegas Movie Studio 6:36 (minutes:seconds) to render with Nvidia hardware acceleration. This is an acceptable result, but it won't win any trophies. Adobe Premiere Elements completed the rendering and file writing in 5:18 and Corel VideoStudio's 4:55. On the other hand, CyberLink PowerDirector took only 2:34 and Pinnacle Studio, the current rendering speed champ, took just 1:56. I should finally note that Movie Studio does a good job of estimating time remaining while you're rendering—a lot of programs can't manage this.

I also ran into a fair amount of unexpected program shutdowns, though these were graciously handled, allowing me to restore the project I was working on during the mishap.

Sharing and Output

Vimeo is a recent direct upload option, joining Facebook and YouTube. The Make Movie button still lets you easily output your creation to a multitude of video formats, including 4K in XAVC S, DVD, and Blu-ray. Exporting to H.265 requires Vegas Movie Studio Platinum. To add DVD and Blu-ray menus and chapters, you need the companion DVD Architect Studio, which doesn't cost extra. I tried uploading to Vimeo, and the program simply went through the same rendering process and then popped up a browser window with my Vimeo login, after which I could authorize the app. You can also include a title and description, tags, and privacy level.

Should You Gamble on Vegas?

Vegas Movie Studio Platinum, under Magix's auspices, continues to move in the right direction, but it's still got a long way to go to catch up with its more up-to-date competition. It offers decent help, some deep effect and editing tools, and a slightly improved interface. The changes don't, unfortunately, merit a score upgrade as competitors have been moving forward at the same time. Longtime Movie Studio users might be pleased by the familiarity, but the program still falls short of our consumer video editing software Editors' Choices, Cyberlink PowerDirector and Corel VideoStudio. Those apps add motion-tracking, 360-degree VR support and, most importantly, greater ease of use.

Bottom Line: Vegas Movie Studio receives minor improvements in this iteration, but remains less usable, slower, and lacking in tools compared with other consumer-grade video editing apps.
