The Muvipix.com Guide to Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12

by Steve Grisetti

Sony’s amazingly powerful video editor just seems to get better with each generation. Yet, because it’s so loaded with so many powerful tools, it can also be rather intimidating. Steve Grisetti, founding member of videomaker support site Muvipix.com, shows you all the tools in the latest version of this richly-featured program and how to use them, step-by-step. You’ll learn: • How to get video from your tape-based, hard drive or even flash-based camcorder into your video project. • How to build a timeline, and how to trim, split, arrange and composite the clips you add to it. • How to apply and customize effects and transitions – and how to install even more video and audio effects into your program! • How to create amazing effects and animations. • How to work with, edit and output anaglyphic 3D video and titles. • How to use the Chroma Keyer effect to make a person look like he or she is in any real or imaginary location. • How to upload your video to YouTube, Pixelcast.com or to your Sony PSP™. • How to prepare your video for output as a DVD and BluRay disc.

Grisetti had turned out yet another very helpful guide for people using lighter-weight video editing software. Purchased the book along with the software, and wouldn't have realized half of what I could do in MSP12 without it. Helpful, plain English explanations of all the neat things hidden or in plain sight in the software. If you need help, there's a great user community at Muvipix.com as well (paid membership options available).

A great reference for the beginner to intermediate user.
