Review by Lincoln

Sony hits a home run with this software. For around $100 I get a video editing program, DVD authoring program, audio recording program and audio creation program. 4 programs worth over $300 for $100. No other software company does this type of package yet… and definitely not at this price.

After 4 weeks of playing with these programs (I use Sony’s higher end professional software for my business) I can easily give it 5 stars and a recommendation. The only other comparable video software is Corel VideoStudio X7 Ultimate ($60-$100). I can’t recommend any audio software to match. The bottom line is - Sony gives you everything you need in this 4-software package to edit your videos and author them on DVD or Blu-ray discs, and to edit your audio files or create brand new ones. The add-on loops, sound and video effects, make this a complete package with nothing left out and nothing left to purchase. You just can’t top this. And Sony software - in my professional opinion - excels in this field.

I record and edit movies as part of my business and Sony Vegas Pro has been my preferred software since 2012, when I switched from Adobe Premiere Pro. I preferred Sony’s interface (much easier to use and to apply effects from the library) and the significantly lower rate of software crashes. I may have experienced 3 software crashes with Sony in well over 1,000 hour of use since 2012. With Abode, my software would crash at least once per month. I’m sure Adobe had improved their software over the years, but this experience was enough to shift me to Sony’s professional video software. Since 2012, I have extremely happy and doubt that I will go back to any other brand.
