Best Video Editing Software on Either Platform
I have played with them all, including doing a fair amount of work in iMovie.
Forget Ulead, forget Pinnacle, or whatver junk you are trying. Sony Vegas is easier to use, more powerful, rock-solid stable, features a built in "Show Me" feature which walks you through anything you'd want to do.
If you were locked in a room for one hour with a camera and software and had to make a basic movie, then walk over to the Mac and use iMovie. You'll be done with time to spare, and no headaches.
Once you have made a couple of movies, the limitations of iMovie will drive you nuts. Then, you graduate to Sony, and you never have to learn another program. It does it all. Intuitively and simply. Not as easy as iMovie, but substantially more powerful and worth the effort.
Pros: Very mature, stable, powerful and relatively easy to use, and cheap, considering all that comes in the bundle and how much you can do with the software.
Cons: Not as simple as iMovie. Only works on a PC.

Buyer beware
Even though the product is "Vista" compatible, there is a fine print - it is not supported under 64-bit version. The solution from support was to install 32-bit vista instead. If only they would print this requirement on the box, it can save some headache!!

Great Amateur/Prosumer Editing Suite
The "Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Pro Pack" is another fantastic entry into the outstanding Vegas family of editing software. We make instructional DVDs (Introduction To Candle Making) and have used Sony Vegas since version 4. While most of our videos are made using the higher end version Vegas Pro 8, I use the "Studio" version for home videos and quick edits.
What's included (all on one disc):
* Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Edition (editing software)
* DVD Architect Studio 4.5 (DVD authoring)
* Sound Forge Audio Studio (audio editing)
* Cinescore w/themes (sound track creation)
* 1001 Sound Effects
* NewBlue 3D Transitions & Effects ("Cartoonr" is an interesting effect)
Here are my observations:
* Very intuitive and easy to use interface
* Huge selection of effects and transitions
* Support for HD video
* Burns Blu-Ray from the timeline and from DVD Architect
* "Show Me How" interactive tutorials are very helpful
* Direct YouTube upload support
* Excellent Chromakey (green screen) capabilities
* Great sound editing tools
* Easy DVD menu creation
Other software that the novice/home user might want to consider is Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Version 12(see my review there), it has less video tracks but more templates/themes.
Over all, I highly recommend "Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum Pro Pack"!

Powerful Video Editing Software That's Easy To Learn
I'm just starting to learn how to edit video. Bought the Canon Vixia HF100 camcorder and this Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro Packed worked very well at producing high quality, professional looking video. It has lots of great special video and audio effects. I appreciate the free online video training on sony.com, in addition to their integrated tutorial. It's great for preparing/editing your video projects. However, I'm giving it 4 stars (instead of 5) because I was under the impression that it would create/author CDs/DVDs. You will need to buy additional software for this (like the Sony DVD Architect Studio). [...]
