So I was looking for a new "all-rounder". By that I mean a video editing software, while not aimed at the professional (such as. Adobe Premiere), but rather brings the house from a certain range of functions that allows even more ambitious projects. The whole should then also therefore come at a price, which is aimed at home users who are indeed willing to pay for good software good money, but also do not want to let hundreds of dollars out of your pocket is. The SONY Movie Studio Platinum Suite 12 aroused my interest.
Those who know the basic principle of video editing software, will find their way quickly into the Sony software. On different tracks up to 20 video tracks and 20 audio tracks can be put at the same time, cutting, overlaying, nest together, into one another merge etc. It is all done with drag and drop and is consistently intuitive to use. The result of the current work can always look in the real-time preview. It invites you to play around and experiment a.
Play and experimentation must also bring, if you will only use a fraction of the functions and filters (color correction, etc., sharpness, brightness) or (artistic) alienate the optional just improve the captured image even extreme. Or you work through the accompanying tutorial, which can be fun too, because every minute you re-learns.
Very nicely solved is also the export of the finished video project. Either you burn it with the supplied DVD editor to a DVD or Blu-ray, or one it stores in a variety of preset formats - from very small to very large for the smartphone for high-definition projector - from. A Youtube-Export function is also available.
All in all I have not regretted the switch from Magix to Sony. The SONY Movie Studio Platinum Suite 12 is a decent video editing program for the ambitious filmmaker opportunity and will also prepare advanced joy. From me there in the face of extremely fair price / performance ratio, the maximum score of 5 stars!
