VEGAS Movie Studio 17

Im a long time Vegas Movie Studio user, I do love this software but today I tried to buy here (Amz) and downloaded. The serial number would not work... after 30 minutes on Magix website I finally found the email address for support - I dont know why they cant create a seamless transaction. I would not advise using this Amz download approach if you are on a tight timeline. I need to use software now, but find myself waiting and wasting time....

I was a big fan of Vegas back when Sony was at the helm, but the product has taken a severe downturn since then. For my current project -- a four minute video in 4K -- the UI crashes about every 20 minutes. It cannot render 4K due to out of memory errors on this 32GB machine.

This is crap it freezes and when I add music in the background when I do a commentary the volume goes up it’s annoying I tried everything I justed the volume nothing happens I wouldn’t recommend this don’t buy it stay from movie studio plantium 17

VEGAS Movie Studio, I had version 12. It wouldnt work on my new Windows 11 computer. This box version 17 was selling at a discount, so I gave it a try. At first neither version was working unless the disable full screen optimizations box was checked on the windows shortcut. About a week after I installed this, AMD released a new video driver for the AMD Ryzen 5 5625U with Radeon Graphics. Now both versions (12 &17) work as expected. I think the reasons why this product is not rated higher, is because of hardware, driver compatibly. The box version came with key codes for Movie studio and DVD architect. About every three days a message pops up to upgrade to newer versions of different variations of Magix software. BE WARNED, not all offers are for this Vegas product, newer versions of movie studio are some other form of software from Magix. The last upgrade offer they sent was for Vegas Edit 19, for $49. That is a great deal, and it has the same user interface as VEGAS Movie Studio 17. I would have taken that deal, but Radeon Graphics do not meet the system requirements of Vegas Edit 19. Overall, I like the Vegas product line.

Oh boy where do I start? I’ve used Vegas software for a while now and I’ve gotten way too used to it I would say. After losing Vegas I thought I could try out some freeware to no avail. Most of the stuff I tried had watermarks and stuff like that but to my surprise, there was a cheaper alternative to Vegas Pro that is literally the same! I bit the bullet and bought it and what do ya know, its great! Vegas makes premium products and it shows with this editing software. Sure, it takes a bit to learn everything but its so much more rewarding when you do.

The previous verison is a lot better Ive submitted Tech Support many times and no response.

This software is riddled with bugs. This what I have encountered so far.

Do not buy this. I bought this, downloaded and it seemed to work fine, but when I tried to open it again, it told me to activate it. I never got anything in any email as to what the activation code was. Spent like $50 for nothing. This is nothing but a scam. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

I was very unhappy with this. Here is a break down of what sucked about Vegas--

I spent 2 days trying to get this soft ware to work with with my HP Laptop. Ultimately I believe that the microsoft corporation implanted bugs with in my S version of window 10 to prevent this Sony program from running even after I left S mode
