The computer is 3 years old, as you may be able to tell from the fact that the processor is only 1.70 GHz. I have a Dell Pentium 4, 1.70 GHz, 512 MB RAM (just recently upgraded from 256 MB), 80 GB hard drive, NVidia GeForce3 128 MB video card.Įverything worked fine even before I upgraded from 256 to 512 MB RAM. Keep in mind that for any problems you may encounter with Studio 9, there is probably a fix. Again, I’ve had no problems using Studio 9. I have both, but I haven’t used the Sony product much at all due to frustration in trying to master it.
You may or may not be right about Sony Vegas Movie Studio being more stable than Pinnacle Studio 9, I don’t know. Keep in mind that video editing is the most processor-intensive job you can do on a home PC, regardless of the software. And you can author and burn DVD’s right from within the Studio 9 interface.ĪNY software is capable of having bugs or problems working on ANY computer. You can almost figure out the program without a users manual, although I am not advocating this. After having spent about $100 on Sony Vegas Movie Studio + DVD, I decided to spend yet another $100 on Pinnacle Studio 9 Plus.
I put the Sony product aside and purchased Pinnacle Studio 9 Plus.Īs stated above, I started out with Pinnacle Studio 8 SE, a trimmed-down version of Studio 8 that came bundled with my DVD burner. So I was already “spoiled” by the ease of use of Pinnacle Studio before trying out Vegas Movie Studio. Pinnacle Studio is MUCH easier to use and master, and version 9 Plus does just about everything Vegas Movie Studio does, I believe. There is no comparison in the user interface, as Compusolver points out. Here’s the thing: I installed Sony Vegas Movie Studio AFTER I had already been using Pinnacle Studio 8 SE.
I’m not a novice, and I always read software instruction manuals from cover to cover. I’ve tried Sony Vegas Movie Studio, and I’ll be darned if I can really figure it out. But that’s the whole reason for the user forums: to get help with problems. What you rarely see there are posts from people praising the product because they have no problems whatsoever. I have been to the Pinnacle user forums, and granted, there are a lot of posts from people who have all kinds of problems. I use Pinnacle Studio 9 (Plus version) and I haven’t had a single problem.
