    Many technical and adware issues

    Good price but I had a lot of problems with this tripping up the sound for my whole computer---it would start to cause crackles and hiss when I would even watch things like Youtube so that I had to reinstall the sound card driver a couple of times. It also was full of adware and constantly popping up notices for other things. I had liked a previous version of this and was disappointed that this was less user friendly and had all of these extra issues.

    Box delivery still not CD-ROM/DVD-ROM to install!

    I'm mixed to give it a few less stars*, but because of my experience with Vegas when it was under Sony, I'm very impressed & satisfied with my purchase of the software (yet details to explain). *This is the physical copy version yet is really not a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM inside to install! It's confusing but I did chat with a BB rep before ordering who helped me find this "physical copy" listing. Pretty much you end up downloading from Internet for the software! That's also separate of online activation/registration. I did get a small box in delivery, but it's merely info. inside! Because it's the same software & version, + I think most persons aim/expect for a digital download these days, I hope to shortly post my review more based on the software itself under that listing version (dual review posting). For my further review (eventually/hopefully if approved/ + info. as of review) Search: "MAGIX - VEGAS Movie Studio Platinum - Windows [Digital]" or just "Model:ANR009772BBY", which is the "digital" version. (If you notice, that listing is different than this one!)

    Product was easy to use once the navigation is understood. Still learning many of the capabilities of this software. I would recommend if you're making movies to DVD or just digital to show on your computer or TV, via USB.

    Great video editing suite promo deal. If you're looking to YouTube or generate content and need to have some very good editing software at your fingertips without breaking the bank, then this is it.

    Great video editing programs. Only problem was DVD architect which was suppose to be included was not. Tried contacting Magix, was a waste of time. Tried e-mailing Magix, no joy. Apparently only response was to make more purchases or upgrade, but never got my copy of DVD Architect. Luckily I have a copy of Power2Go which is cyberlink's version of Magix's DVD Architect.

    Needed a product that could create a user friendly video and this product fit the bill - some products do not include everything to carry to actually create the DVD and play in a player but this product does - no need to buy additional software to actually create a playable DVD of your movie.

    This Editing Software is amazing. I tried using a few of the free editing things that are offered online and they just did not work for me. I ended up going and buying Vegas Movie Studio 17 and I really like how much it has included with it and how easy it has been for me to edit my videos for YouTube.

    Great editing software. I'm somewhat knew to video editing so I went into it not really knowing anything about how it works. Pretty easy to get the idea and there is no shortage of tutorials for anything you might want to do.

    DO NOT BUY THIS MALWARE!

    Do not buy this product unless you love trying to uninstall about a dozen crapware programs you gave no permission to be installed. This is no longer the Sony program you loved from years ago. I bought this program for one reason, to author a Blue Ray disc for my sons funeral. Guess what, after spending two days trying to do that I discovered the program needs Quick Time that is no longer available. Back cover shows it supports blue Ray authoring. I brought this to the attention of the local store manager who showed not the slightest bit of empathy for asking for store credit. Always back to you can not return this product. He did not give a crap the product could not possibly do what the package advertised. He had no interest in bringing this malware to his corporate management. Just sickening. Thousand Oaks, Ca.

    I use this and Adobe. The adobe is used for work, and this is used for personal videos/movies. Both are extremely good, but for the money this is the better of the two.
