Aspirant intending to create documentaries asking for “advice” about “Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11”
Hello,
I am indenting to introduce in a methodological way the use of semi-professional documentaries in university at area of management.
So, I am looking for a semi-professional video editing software that has the features to support this kind of development, preferentially being easy-to-use.
After reading some reviews, I am considering in first moment “CyberLink PowerDirector 10 Ultra”, even “Sony Vegas 11 Platinum” and “Corel VideoStudio X4 Ultimate” are always mentioned as good software pieces as well.
Anyway, I don’t have almost any knowledge (yet) about video editors to make by myself a mature evaluation/judgment. In this sense I would appreciate some advice from PowerDirector user’s community:
a) Is PowerDirector 10 able to offer high-features to support this kind of development (documentaries)?
b) Could I considerer that PowerDirector 10 offers semi-professional video quality?
c) Is it easy to find/search tracks in a video around 1 hour with a plenty of short video tracks? Is there any search mechanism?
d) I couldn’t see in my trial version strip with titles that is used to introduce someone (like that where name and profession appear when person is presented => John / Manager). Is it available in PowerDirector 10?
e) And about other mentioned software (Sony Vegas 11 Platinum and Corel VideoStudio X4 Ultimate), does anyone have opinions related “about what” “CyberLink PowerDirector 10 Ultra would be better to my intending usage?
Thanks indeed in advance,

Well… you came to the Sony Vegas forum where most of us are probably not familiar “CyberLink PowerDirector 10 Ultra” or “Corel VideoStudio X4 Ultimate” and then you asked a whole lot of questions about CyberLink PowerDirector. I’m not sure you will see many answers to your specific questions.
I certainly would not consider either PowerDirector or VideoStudio as “semi-pro”. They are squarely “consumer” packages for the average person to quickly get a family video completed.
What I can tell you is that Vegas Movie Studio is most likely a far more powerful program than either of those two because it is based on the professional Vegas Pro software and developed by people who design software for video professionals.
Since you did mention that you want to make documentaries, I assume this is going to get a bit more involved than making a birthday video and you’re going to want something that gives you more control than your typical consumer video editor. Vegas Movie Studio probably fills that requirement much better than the other two.
I would download the 30-day free trial of Movie Studio HD 11 and use it for a month and see what you think.

Hi John,
Thanks for your mature information.
My point with other software is that a plenty of reviews (like this https://video-editing-software-review.toptenreviews.com/) are positioning Vegas in the last rankings.
So, Vegas weren’t my first choice. But after spending little yet – but intensive – time using Vegas Platinum, it became my choice for sure! The software fits everything I want. And the others, after using as well really “are squarely consumer packages”, as you had pointed out.
I think there will be much to learn and share and this Vegas user community will be my place since now!!!Best,

Be careful that you are not reading reviews from sites that get paid to skew the results toward products they make a commission on selling. I would trust reviews from magazine sites like Videomaker.com
