Incredibly Helpful!
I bought Pinnacle Studio 12 (trying to save money, didn't know better) and struggled with it. It's ok for beginners but I needed to do more - work in HD, burn professional looking DVD's for sale, create a worthy tutorial.I did a lot of online shopping around and found Bill's channel on YouTube and watched a few videos and joined 2 video editing groups on Yahoo-groups. The consensus was Sony Vegas, Movie Studio or Pro, was best and after watch the vids on YT, I ordered the software and this DVD, which I watched most of today.I'd say it's worth as much or more than the software!! Yes, you do need a basic understanding of the screen and a few terms, and yes he talks faster than I do, but it's a DVD! You can watch it over and over! I learned more in 2 hours than I have in 3 months with Pinnacle!This DVD teaches *exactly* what it says it does - how to create your own "how-to" DVD with Sony Vegas Movie Studio. It's going to save me hundreds of hours of struggling and hopefully help me make buckets of money with my own DVD's!!Wonderfully put together, personable guy, easy to follow if you have used ANY video editing software at all. And really, all you need to do is follow the tutorial that comes with the software to learn the basics, then watch the DVD for the powerhouse of fast-forward learning. If I could, I would give this TEN stars.

exellent but expensive
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.

Great basic tutorial on Sony Vegas Movie Studio 7
This is a very basic tutorial on the software Sony Vegas Movie Studio 7. I had Vegas 7 and the stuff that was covered were the things that I knew. I was actually hoping to see an updated version of Vegas 9.I wanted to see what are the new updates on Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9.However, I didn't get that information. So, overall, I think the DVD is a nice DVD. Felt very home-made type of DVD. Anyway, I gave it a 3 stars due to it's instruction and the time put to create the DVD. Thank you.

Somewhat helpful
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.

Platinum 7.0
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.

OK, but overpriced by at least double.
This video was OK, and i did learn from it somewhat, but it is a little cheaply produced. But wait,is that what we're all trying to do anyway?I don't know, maybe I was expecting more upscale movie editing, but it is really just a made-at-home video program with examples from cheaply shot video. What I'm trying to say is that it IS helpful, but not a highly polished operation.
