Help and Support:  

As with PowerDirector and VideoStudio, Sony’s phone support costs money, but email support is free. We didn’t have the occasion to contact tech support, because all our questions were answered by the in- depth tutorials and FAQs. We really can’t say enough about how good the tutorials are, and again, we must stress that if you buy Sony Vegas 9 Platinum, after installation spend some quality time with the tutorials – you won’t regret it!

Sony Vegas Studio 9 Platinum is the most feature-rich video editing software in its price range. While not the easiest to use for new video editors, the power and granular control Vegas Studio 9 Platinum gives you is unparalleled. You’ll have a more gradual learning curve with the #1 and #2 video editing products, but if you plan on editing video more than a couple times a year, mastering Sony Vegas Studio 9 will yield much greater returns.
