Software Review – Imagination Studio 4 from Sony

Part of: Sounds from the Attic

Imagination Studio 4 is the latest bundled consumer application from Sony. It brings to you four consumer-based products together for a round-trip multimedia creation experience. You get Movie Studio Platinum 12 – for editing video, ACID Music 9 – for creating original digital music, Sound Forge Audio Studio 10 - for recording and editing audio, and DVD Architect Studio 12 – for creating DVD's.

Through the use of these four products, it makes it easy for someone to take the video that was recorded either though a video camera, DSLR, or even their smart phone and add in photos, create your own original soundtrack, make a professional quality video and create the output that you can share with family and friends either online or in your DVD player.

Movie Studio Platinum 12

Movie Studio Platinum 12 gives you the ability to create professional looking video right at home. You can import and edit HD and stereoscopic 3D – you even get some simple 3D glasses with the package, files, apply compositing and color-correction, add 5.1 surround-sound mixing, and much more.

You start by importing your assets into Movie Studio – this can be video, photos, graphic artwork, and more, and you edit them on the same timeline by placing them in the order that you see fit. You can add music, set up transactions between scenes, add titles, and other effects.

The new project dialog will insure that your project is set up with just the right settings to create your movie masterpiece. You select the option that matches your video and Movie studio will choose the right properties. When your project is complete, you can use DVD Architect to create your DVD or Blu-ray, or publish to Pixelcast without leaving the application.

ACID Music 9

ACID Music 9 gives you the ability to create your own soundtracks and music and share it with others. Through the use of loops, you can create music with no musical instrument ability necessary. The loops take the guesswork out of making great tracks. By using the built in audio effects, MIDI functionality, and new workflow and performance features you open the door to the world of professional music production.
