VEGAS Movie Studio 17

Dont buy it is a scam

Do not buy this! They are not selling you the actual video editing software its only the sound force/ music create the serial number will not work!! I want my money back this is BS!! why would Amazon allow a scam like this I am reporting you to amazon!! Do not buy this item!!

Ive wasted more then 5 hours of my time to only have this program crash and my project not saved several times this afternoon. I payed $80 for this. I am here to tell you not to purchase this.

It took me an entire evening to get this thing installed. You get half-a-dozen programs - the movie studio, Music Maker, Sound Forge, etc. The movie studio downloaded and installed first, and the dialogue box showed that it had installed successfully. Eventually it asked me for my serial number and email, so I entered that. It told me the serial number wasnt valid, or was for another product. So I spent over an hour doing Google searches on what the problem might be. Eventually I figured out that it wasnt asking me for the serial number of my Movie Studio, but for the MAGIX PC Check and Tuning program. There is no serial number provided for this program, so you cant use it anyway, and the whole thing is extremely confusing and, obviously, very poorly thought out.

Was given a serial number that was only valid for 1 of the add-ons (Sound Forge Audio Studio 14) I purchased with Movie Studio Platinum 17. Now I am unable to register Movie Studio Platinum 17 with the serial number that was sent to me with the order and am unable to use the product I payed for.

Ive never used video editing software worse than this. I have been using VEGAS editing products since 2009 and have always relied on them for my editing needs with little to no problems until now. They have always been intuitive and had more than enough capabilities on the base version to get a professional job done. This software has never run without one problem. It crashes frequently, it has numreous user interface glitches that YOU need to fix. It has random audio sync issues where videos will randomly mismatch the audio in the program, despite matching in the source video. The new features that work are barely worth the money. If youre like me and want to see if it works for you, take my example and AVOID. I usually never write reviews like this, so know that I do this out of necessity not rage.

I am a long time Vegas Movie Studio user for about a decade. Its far from the best video software, but it is just so intuitive and great at what it is and what I do.

The photo I added as an example is just one recent example. Please purchase a different editing software to save yourself the trouble. Ive only had this software for two years and its been getting worse. Technical support dropped for this product and I cant bring myself to support anything else from Sony Vegas.

I cant leave a review. It would just be me cussing. Sorry.

Easy to navigate and you can watch YouTube videos to help with more advanced techniques. I have been using it for years…ordered the disc version since my downloaded version keeps crashing.
