Vegas Movie Studio! Help

They are pretty much the same but the platinum version will edit HD content.

HERE is Sony's comparison chart for Vegas. Basically Platnum gives you HD, and iPod & PSP exports.

What makes it worth the little extra is not only HD support, but a whole bunch more NewBlue FX filters & transitions, a doubling of the audio tools and a vastly improved color correction controls & options. So depending on what you expect to you'd be using, platinum could money you don't need to spend. But for the extra transitions, filters, audio controls and color correction, I think it is a good value, providing a lot of directions to grow.

Good Luck & happy editing, whatever NLE you choose.

Yeah, the NewBlue FX come with Platinum too. I second BarefootMedia that this may be money you don't need to spend, but will give you some tools you can learn as you go along.
