Video & Audio production bundle deal – 1 week only!

A lot of people ask me what sofware I use to make my video/film projects like The Terra-Cotta Soldier. My main editing software is Sony Vegas. I feel its the fastest most efficient, and easiest to learn video editing software on the market. I think people pick-up the Sony Vegas software and are able to make really creative, even professional looking videos with a lot less time and effort spent learning the software than other video editing sofware out there.

The slightly scaled-down version of Sony Vegas is called Vegas Movie Studio. Right now Sony is having several deals going on:

1) Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pack for $115. I recommend this for anyone who’s serious about film making. It has most of the features of Vegas Pro (that I use) and even comes with a set of sound effects & visual effects that Pro doesn’t have. If you buy this week, you get a free 2GB flash drive with your purchase.

2) Movie Studio 9 is only $50. I recommend you get this if you don’t want to invest a lot, and/or just want to do some casual video editing. Its still great software and very powerful.

3) The Home Studio Suite for $150, plus a free 2GB flash drive. This includes Acid Music Studio & Sound Forge Audio Studio, plus their new photo software. I recommend this for anyone who’s interested in the full range of creativity, or if you have family members who are interested in different things: the musician can create music and the filmmaker can edit video.
