Another thing missing in Movie Studio is storyboard view, which can make arranging clips and applying transitions simpler. These helpfully lead users through the movie creation and delivery process. Unlike those apps, Movie Studio doesn't have an interface organized by "modes"-such as one for acquiring media, another for editing, and another for output options. Sony Movie Studio's interface still looks dated when compared with those three apps. Interface The program has a professional, usable, no-nonsense feel, but it lacks some important aids for consumer-level video editors found in Corel VideoStudio, PowerDirector 9, and Premiere Elements 9.
MOVIE STUDIO PLATINUM 12 PRO
Once you've got the content in the app, there's next to nothing in the way of metadata to help you organize your media-no keyword tagging, let alone face recognition or auto scene-type detection that you get with Adobe Premiere Elements and Final Cut Pro X. The capture option let me get video from a webcam and camcorder, but there's no stop-motion capture tool like the excellent one in Corel VideoStudio Pro (4 stars, $79.99). When you import media files, the program "builds peaks" for each in order to display its waveform (users have complained about the slowness and instability of this process, but I didn't find it excessively obtrusive). The folder browser didn't recognize Windows 7 Libraries, instead making me navigate down to the actual folders containing the media. Clicking the file icon let me import as though it were any other file location, but this button (tooltipped just "Open") actually added all the media to the timeline, when I really just want it added to my source tray.
MOVIE STUDIO PLATINUM 12 SOFTWARE
When I plugged in a USB video camera, no AutoPlay option was added for Movie Studio the way other software video editors such as PowerDirector and Adobe Premiere Elements 11 ($99.99 list, 4 stars) do. Most standard formats are acceptable, but MKV isn't among them, nor is Super HD 4K content-both accepted by PowerDirector. Import You can import video, audio, and still images from disk, cameras, or camcorders. This is something that's been available in other products, such as CyberLink PowerDirector, for years.

But to run the program, I had to enter the longest serial number I've ever entered.
Happily the installer doesn't try to load unrelated software such as browser toolbars onto your system, as is all too common, surprising as it is for software that costs nearly 100 bucks. On first run, a message window told me that the installer program requires administrator privileges to run, so a UAC dialog had to be OKed.
I tested on a 3.4GHz AMD quad core Windows 7 Ultimate PC with 4GB RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 4290 graphics adapter-not state of the art, but not too shabby. That's still a bit less than the 1.4GB used by CyberLink PowerDirector 11 ($99.95 list, 4.5 stars), our Editors' Choice consumer video editor. Setup took just 2 minutes, and like most full-feature video editors, it took up a good chunk of disk space-over 1GB for the program plus its disc-authoring companion program.
MOVIE STUDIO PLATINUM 12 INSTALL
You can choose whether you want to install DVD Architect for disc authoring along with the video editing software. A pleasant wizard takes you through the process. Installation You can install Movie Studio in Windows 8, Windows 7, or Vista-no XP, no Mac! It's now a 64-bit app, which helps with performance when keeping a lot of large video footage in memory.
