Since I started using Vegas Movie Studio in 2008, I have never used nor recommended this version, because it lacks the ability to customize many different settings and will normally frustrate anyone needing to create videos that are a little more advanced. Tragic Or finally that the version you have is so old that the discounted upgrade path is about to run out for you. My tinkering around consisted of about 15 minutes, so there is no way to determine if there are any flaws in this new build, however, everything I touched worked fine. My question is, do you think that there is a large enough feature improvement to spend the money to upgrade? We do not endorse or disapprove of any products presented here. In the meantime, I think it is important to not let this one annoying issue take away from all that is still great about Vegas Movie Studio 14 Platinum.

Seems you have had better luck finding build updates. I tried using Windows System Restore, but that could not fix the problem and I was forced to do a complete reinstall of Windows 10 and all my programs. Derek, I wish I'd read this before installing 14! Check for updates function in old Sony branded products, no longer works, because Sony has nothing to do with programs anymore and links are now dead. Make an effort to learn and use 12, then you will be armed with knowledge and experience so as to be able to decide for yourself if an upgrade is worth it. There are other things to play around with like video effects, although a good number of them require access to another program that I don't have a license for. Or is it best to buy from a real shop. I already have the Movie Studio Platinum 12 and wanted to upgrade.
It will meet most of the needs of experienced editors and producers, but key omissions of some basic and advanced functionality make it a middling program. The boxed version you bought from Best Buy is a Sony branded version - last of the Sony stock. A control window will automatically open when you apply any transition or video effect and give you the ability to control individual settings that relate to it's behaviour. The timeline toolbar has also been dramatically improved, so now the most powerful and useful tools are easily accessible, without having to discover hidden menus within menus. Rough cut and comp your ideas quickly with dynamic storyboard tools.
Regards, Derek Moran Movie Studio Zen, Australia 2017 Excellent review, Derek. Most competing software companies, seem to be offering some type of beginners version of Titler Pro with their software.

Do you have any idea why it is not possible on Vegas because even if I prefer Vegas for me that will a deal breaker…. The program also offers guided video edits. Both of these tools give you the ability to zoom in or out on the video frame and also to resize and re-position any video. The Track Motion tool is what you would use to create Picture in Picture and Video Wall effects. To help you get started, Magix does provide a rudimentary walk through option that tells you what everything does, and I would recommend doing this as it does help quite a bit, even if you have some experience, as it helps get you familiar with the layout of the software. And access professional functions for powerful compositing, sophisticated picture-in-picture effects and perfect colors with primary and secondary color correction. It is definitely daunting and a little confusing at first with absolutely no knowledge of how the software works but Magix dubs itself as a video program for beginners, so I figured it was certainly worth a look.
