Why We Chose Sony Vegas Movie Studio

We chose Sony Vegas Movie Studio as the software editor to teach on Flixify for two reasons.

First and foremost, we chose Vegas Movie Studio with our customers in mind! Vegas Movie Studio is competitively priced, has the perfect blend of features for both budding and advanced video scrapbookers, and comes with a full access, 30-day trial. We are huge fans of full-access trials because you get to really dig in and explore before spending hard-earned cash on something that might be too complicated or lack key features.

Second, Sony called us back! When we contacted the creative software division of Sony with our idea for teaching video scrapbooking, they immediately returned our call and started a relationship that we hope will continue long into the future. When dealing with a company as enormous as Sony, it is definitely a vote of confidence when they see the potential of a small web-based business. We are looking forward to meeting with them in person at the upcoming NAB Show in Las Vegas at the end of this month.

But don't take our word for it. One of our favorite blogs, Lifehacker, polled their huge user-base to find out what is the favored video editing software. The winner was Sony Vegas Pro, the big brother to Sony Vegas Movie Studio. We felt somewhat validated in our choice of software and are glad to be working with Sony to increase the number of people who can begin to benefit from all the wonderful things that come from watching and sharing home movies. Our lead producer/editor was also excited to see the results because he has been a Vegas Pro users for over 6 years and could not agree more with the Lifehacker users.

That said, there are several other great video editing programs that also come with free trials. One of these options might be better suited for your needs once you get more familiar with the video scrapbooking process. Take a look at Pinnacle Studio, CyberLink PowerDirector, and Adobe Premiere Elements. Regardless of what software you end up with, the best news is that our theme kits are program agnostic, meaning they'll work with almost all video editing software, including those that run on a Mac.
