MAGNIFICENT!!!!! I've had 13 for over 4 years now but only ever learned a few basic functions and stopped using it for over 2 years. I'm now making gaming vids for KZread and have forced myself to get a bit more in depth. I learned a LOT from this one vid. In fact, I'm going to have to watch it again and take notes. Then I'll move on to your subsequent vids (I assume you have some!!!!). Thanks from Saint Louis, Missouri, USA, during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Hey, you know what'd be helpful? If you left timestamps in the description, because I only care how to do a transition.
One of the best tutorials I've ever seen -- clear, not too fast or slow, not too advanced or too dumbed-down -- I learned a LOT. Great job. Thanks!!

Excellent video!! Thank you for taking the time to do this video for novices like me. I just got the program yesterday and after watching this video I feel like I've got a good foundation. I watched some of the shorter "beginner" videos from other KZreadrs but they were not nearly as helpful as yours because you rightly assumed that the viewer knew nothing and you took your time. By the time I was midway through the video I paused and subscribed because I knew I had stumbled onto the right channel. Can't wait to view your other tutorials!

I stumbled upon this video while trying to figure out how to maintain one audio track (an interview) while varying the video tracks (pictures and video of what the interviewee is referencing). While I did find what I was looking for, I learned TONS. Thank you for providing tutorials on how to you Sony Moving Studio Platinum 13. Much appreciated!
Thanks for posting this video. I just got this to help edit videos for my KZread channel, and this made it much easier to understand step by step. Seriously.
I was looking for a decent program to use, an you sold me on this one! You made it easy to understand and no complicated jibber jabber. Awesome vid! Thanks!!
Thanks for the video. I wasn't sure if Movie Studio would be suitable or if I needed Vegas. After watching this video I can see that Movie Studio will do everything that I want and a lot more.
thank you so much for the awesome video. I've been using Vegas for about 6 years and you just showed me some important stuff that will save me a lot of time. for example, double clicking to put points on an audio event so I can decrease/increase the volume within the track. using "D" to switch between tool s. ripple is awesome, that's gonna save me years. I've been moving split clips one at a time, sometimes 50 split clips when I think I'm finished and find a gap at the beginning of the project.thank you so much, Matt

+James Owens I'm doing the same thing James. I think I spent 2-3 hours watching the video(since I went over and over it) and working on my video. I watch a few minutes put it on pause then try to work on mine. I have A LONG way to go before I learn high quality videos but it's fun to learn...I almost gave up when I first tried to figure out the software on my own then I found his wonderful tutorial by Movie Studio Zen.
Thanks for a great tutorial. I recently purchased a SONY PXW-70 and am a fairly experienced Adobe Premier Pro user who refuses to pay for CC, so I bought Movie Studio Platinum 13. I was getting frustrated with making the transition but this video helped significantly. I look forward to more of your tutorials. G'Day.

Just got this program and I'm coming off the basic windows movie maker. This was very helpful and makes me feel more confident in starting this new tool. I'm so glad you commented on the preview video being choppy. I was so nervous that all my videos were showing up terrible lol thanks for making this!
Thanks Professor. From now on, it's official. You made me love Vegas. You are a great teacher, I am going to discard Premiere for a while.

So grateful for your help! My son bought this months ago and I couldn't figure it out, so I continued using the KZread editor. That also took a lot for me to figure out and now that it's going away, I feel like I really have to use this one. I tried moving clips around and it made them overlap. So annoyed I can't figure out that stuff on my own, so I'm sure I'll be watching this video repeatedly. Thank you! :-D Liked and subscribed.

Hey, really good video. I just wanted to say that I think it's great you actually take the time to reply to people's comments and answer their questions. I just watched this, and I may have missed it, I am pretty ADD, but did you mention how to separate audio from video tracks? Like say, if I wanted to take a piece of audio from one clip and place it over another.
I JUST purchased this today! Through the link on your site! I'm excited to see new tutorials!

+Movie Studio Zen I just started to look at my movie studio plat and I'm already frustrated. I was just looking at the different media generator options under the advanced setting. I'm not sure what I clicked on. I thought I was clicking on a little picture from that area. A little area popped up and I quickly x it out. Now there's no media generation option under advanced. The area with pictures of different clouds or colored page option for example. It's gone. Is there a way to restore it? I quickly clicked undo at the time and it didn't fix it.

~~ WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BEGINNER'S GUIDE ~~ Wow, THANK YOU!!!! I was contemplating a purchase of this product from Amazon for the "Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum" 30 DAY FREE TRIAL and I was completely lost as to what to do. I have been using a whole big mess of ways to make a simple video for my You-Tube channel. I would take my video footage from my "DJI MAVIC PRO" drone and then load that to my old laptop and edit the footage from the drone Micro SD Card to the actual video with words and music. Then I would transfer that to my new laptop and load that to You-Tube. It was all a big mess. I went to the Tony Northrup channel and saw this Sony Brand editing tools and then searched for it on Amazon. I saw the 30 day free trail for "Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum" and was not sure what to do. I did a search on You-Tube for any info for this product and well, here you are. I watched your video 3 times and the answer was a no brainier. So back to my first comment. Wow, THANK YOU!!! So I am now downloading the program, "Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum" to my PC & Laptop which are both HP's and both are brand spanking new. So all the software is up-to-date and I have this Beginners Guide, How-To-Use on my shortcuts so it will always be accessible for help. You really made this so easy and simple for us who have never used this before. Not to this level of advancement. I appreciate you walk through and how you made it so, STEP-BY-STEP. I look forward to watching more of your guides and tutorials. Take care and keep up the great work...

Thanks for your message :) Some advice: Movie Studio Platinum 13 is a very old version now. If you haven't bought anything yet, I would recommend you buy the NEW VERSION instead - Vegas Movie Studio 15 Platinum. This has a better layout, more functions and better GPU support. I will be uploading a review for V15 soon and a new beginners guide. I have a discount coupon for version 15 on my website. www.moviestudiozen.com/free-tutorials/sony-movie-studio-platinum
