exellent but expensive October 15, 2008
As expected from the innumerable examples of Bill Myers' YouTube Video Tips, DVD previews, etc, this is an excellent tutorial video for users of Sony Vegas MovieStudio. He explains everything in a clear, concise, and practical manner. It is not just a chapter by chapter replacement for a manual or textbook. Instead, it is a wide ranging "how to" video, showing how to do certain tasks or achieve specific aims. Much of its value is derived from the fact that Bill Myers is sharing his personal experience, giving hints and tips, and pointing out pitfalls. It clearly requires watching repeatedly, but owning this dvd must inevitably result in better and more professionally looking videos.
However it is not available in the UK, and the UK buyer should think very carefully before purchase. By the time the UK Customs have added VAT to the purchase price, and also VAT to the postage, then Royal Mail has added their 8 handling fee, one has purchased a DVD costing over 41. Regardless of how good it may be, such a price can hardly be justified.
 Only for Someone New to Editing October 6, 2008
Everything in this DVD can be found on YouTube with the exception of some lower thirds. It's a good DVD but you can save money by using the net.

This software is not actually for the beginner or the expert. Bill Myers talks too fast and assumes that the viewer already has a working knowledge of the software and the terminology. A beginner would get lost quickly. He does not explain all the functions of the Vegas Movie Studio, thus the non-beginner would not benefit too much.
This software is good for those who have worked with Vegas Movie Studio and now want to learn how to give their videos a little more polish.

If you don't have sony platinum 7.0 then you will not be able to do all the things that he shows you. He also has a lot of stuff that was pre-done, I would like to know where to get that stuff for my program. All that said, it was good ,and I learned a lot .I am using movis stidio 8, If I had the platinum 7.0, I would have gave it a better grade.
 The most useful how-to DVD I've purchased...period June 23, 2008

I've picked up quite a few of Bill's DVD's over the past year or so and this is one of the most valuable products in the bunch because this DVD showed me everything I needed to know in order to create my own how-to DVDs using Sony Movie Studio.
Sony Movie Studio can be a pretty overwhelming program at first glance, with all the windows, sliders, buttons and so on. But Bill clears through all the noise and shows you exactly what you need to know to create a simple how-to DVD for any topic you can think of.
Keep in mind that this isn't some generic "how to use Sony Movie Studio" tutorial and isn't intended to show you every bell and whistle that this powerful software tool has to offer. Instead, it's focused primarily on those buyers that are interested in creating how-to and special interest DVDs. So if you're a budding movie maker, this will get you the basics but might not cover some of the special features or techniques you might be looking for.
However, Bill's goal is to show customers how to use these types of software tools and a little creativity to create a "lifestyle business", not how to become a pro videographer.
If you've never taken advantage of any of Bill's products, you'll enjoy his down-to-earth, "regular guy" approach to business, video, and other technical matters...he has a knack for taking complex subjects and breaking them down into the "here's what you need to know" pieces in a practical and hype-free way.
Be sure to check out his Youtube videos to get a feel for what this DVD is like and stop by the companion website too...more great ways to expand on what you'll learn in this DVD. Thanks Bill!
