Sony Movie Studio 13 Gets Friendly

In the past Sony Movie Studio has been truly the little brother of Sony Vegas Pro. It strived to be a consumer version, but the problem was it wasn’t consumer “friendly”.

The answer, redesign.
The results, simplified easy editing. For everything from 4K Ultra HD to 3D to web video. And one of the features that I like the best about it is the ability to be able to use it on a touch enabled PC. Video editing done right on a tablet. Now that’s something I can get my fingers into.
Many more people are switching to tablets and Sony, truthfully, is the first to do it right with this beautifully designed easy to use editing software.
The handles are bigger the icons easier to understand and the workflow is intelligent and streamlined.
It’s a system that’s designed for the novice that has never done video editing all the way up to and leading you smoothly into Sony Vegas Pro.
If you are a novice activated help bubbles with a simple click on the right-hand side of the screen. They will guide you step-by-step through the process of bringing in your footage, editing it, adding audio and music and exporting to any format that you need step-by-step.
In simple load all of your tracks are labeled for you making it very easy to put video audio background music and titles in the right places.
Once you’re comfortable with that turn off the help bubbles and go at it by yourself.

Expand your creativity and create your video masterpieces, then upload to show the world.
With 4K ultra HD heading not only to our TVs but to our smart phones, it’s place in our future is assured. In the 70s Movie Studio doesn’t skimp on formats. You can do Stereoscopic 3D, MP4, AVC HD and the new professional 4K format from Sony, XAVC and the consumer 4K UltraHD format XAVC – S.

I tested Movie Studio 13 with clips shot on my new professional 4K UltraHD camera, the PXW-Z100 and the software handled them with ease. I can’t wait to get my hands on the Sony FDR-AX100 Consumer 4K camera due out in March.

In the advanced carrot category Sony’s Acid Music Studio 10 will let you make your own music like a pro. Acid Music Studio 10 now gives audiophiles the ability to work with pro level 24 bit/192kHz audio. In addition you can upload direct to Sony Sound Cloud.
Sony hasn’t stopped there with Studio Multitrack recording and editing, studio quality VST based effects and event grouping to cluster events, move them and still stay in sync.

These pro level features make Acid Music Studio 10 a “true audio lovers dream software”.
All of this adds up to one heck of set of dynamite packages with prices that are pretty outstanding to boot. Movie Studio 13 Platinum which gives you a video editing and DVD creation starts at $79.95.

If you want to step up your game to Movie Studio 13  suites where you get video editing DVD Creation and more that Blockbuster package which includes acid music studio starts at $139.95.
