martlet 0 #1 December 11, 2009 I've been using Windows Movie Maker for my videos, since I'm not a pro, just a hobbyist. I just got my Sony CX100 and realize I'll have to move on to something that supports AVCHD. I was going to order Vegas, but started looking around. Top 10 Reviews rates it 6th, with Cyberlink, Corel, Adobe, Magix Movie, and Pinnacle coming in above it. Has anyone used these, or is Vegas simply the best option for a PC user?

DSE 5 #2 December 11, 2009 Cyberlink=how the hell did they even get on the list? Worse than Movie Maker for workflow. Corel=If you don't mind a lot of crashes, it has a decent interface and eventually can output video. Premiere Elements=very stable, a bit of a learning curve, but reasonably fast. Magix Movie???Pinnacle=Latest version is very stable, but not a workflow I care for much. Search these forums for real-world experiences with Pinnacle. They didn't list Edius? SpeedEdit, or Movie Factory? They're all pretty good with AVCHD. IMO, Vegas tops em' all, but I'm somewhat biased. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
