VEGAS Movie Studio 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.

now i know what you think another BS one star from somebody that may not have used it. I got it at best buy and used 8 and 12 as those dont work anymore really, I got 17 thinking well a updated version should work. Found out the reason it crashes it that it wont accept .mts files anymore basic camcorder files. So you have to convert to MP4 just to put them in vegas. its just like 12 and stuff sure. For the most part. I didnt have that issue like some other poeple. But be prepared to spend a hour or 2 fixing bugs before you can use it properly if you are using a camcorder and they usally all record in .MTS files. It seems to work fine after a few tweeks and stuff and converting the files however. does take a while to render as well.

I recieved a serial product number for another product. I want my money back.

With my fourth version of this product, I find myself with exactly the same problem I started with years ago - Vegas Movie Studio 17 simply crashes all the time.

Don’t bother. It will not work. It’s a shame that this product fell so far.

Terrible version of Movie Studio. I have a new laptop with an Intel Core i7, 16GB memory and Nvidia graphics card and the program locks up constantly. Worse than Movie Studio 14. Would NEVER RECOMMEND IT.

The program only worked for two days and now it wont even go to the opening. I get a lock out when opening video plug-ins and the forum help online is useless.

Dont buy it is a scam

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

downloaded the software. it registered but would not activate. spent hours trying to contact an actual person to help me resolve the problem. i cant return it. so i guess i was just robbed.
