Movie Studio features significantly more effects and transitions than the full version of Vegas does. However, it cannot capture analog video without the use of a FireWire video converter. Version 6 also added the ability to capture from Sony Handycam DVD camcorders. Like Vegas Pro, the Movie Studio versions can also perform DV batch capture, a feature usually found only in high-end video editors. It also adds HDV and AVCHD-editing capabilities, but does not support SD or HD-SDI formats. The Platinum Edition of Movie Studio has powerful color correction tools similar to the version on Vegas Pro, including a three-wheel color corrector. It also does not have the same advanced compositing tools as Vegas does, and does not have project nesting or masking. It can edit in multiple as well as standard 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, and it's one of the very few consumer editors that can also edit 24p video (after a manual frame rate setup).

The Platinum Edition of Sony Movie Studio, furthermore, can edit with 20 video and 20 audio tracks. Unlike its professional counterpart, Movie Studio can only edit with ten video tracks and ten audio tracks (originally it was set with two video tracks, a title overlay track and three audio tracks). VEGAS Movie Studio was formerly known as 'Sonic Foundry VideoFactory' and 'Sony Screenblast Movie Studio'.įeatures Video features Magix would later discontinue VEGAS Movie Studio in 2021, in favor of the unrelated Magix Movie Studio. It was sold in Sony's larger 2016 sale of much of its creative software suite to Magix, who developed Versions 14 to 17. It was developed by Sony for its first 13 versions. It was a scaled-down version of Vegas Pro. VEGAS Movie Studio (previously Sony Vegas Movie Studio) was a consumer-based nonlinear video editor designed for the PC.
