There is nothing to say about the installation of Sony Movie Studio. However, not everything went smoothly for me, so I think it’s worth saying a few words about the problems I experienced. Normally I wouldn’t bother even mentioning the installation of a piece of software. Here I have added a lens flare and ‘bubble’ effect to the clip being edited. The editing environment seen here has vertical tabs at the left-hand edge to switch between editing titling, effects and so on. The huge icons at the top and bottom and the strangely ‘double-spaced’ menu items don’t help matters.Ĭyberlink PowerDirector has a nice-looking, tightly integrated environment with separate areas dedicated to capturing, producing and editing videos. The user interface is a bit cluttered, though. Just drag clips onto the timeline and add transitions and effects from the docked panels. Sony’s Movie Studio is generally fairly straightforward to use. You should not infer from this fact that Movie Studio is in essence easier to use – it is simply the case that I happen to find it easier due to my previous experience. So obviously I have experienced less of a learning curve with the Sony product than with the Cyberlink one which has made it easier for me to start being productive with Movie Studio. I have never previously used PowerDirector, however.
Sony’s Movie Studio 13 Platinum and Cyberlink’s PowerDirector 12 Ultimate are two long-established packages that aim to provide a good range of editing and production capabilities for both amateur and professional users.īefore I begin, I should make it clear that I am already familiar with a previous release ( version 11) of Sony Movie Studio you can see my review here. Here I look at two packages for Windows that won’t break the bank. You also need the software to edit and produce your videos. But you need more than just good hardware.
Now, in the age of YouTube and cheap, hi-definition cameras, professional-quality video making is within everyone’s budget. Not so long ago, video making was a specialist art practised by professionals who could afford lots of expensive equipment and software.
