It was the frustrating experience I kept on having with Studio (version 8 was my cross) that drove me screaming for another solution – I moved to Sony’s Screenblast Movie Studio (Pre-cursor to Vegas Movie Studio) and then to the full blown Vegas soon thereafter. It is the best decision I have ever made! Studio was driving me mad and I have yet to try anything in Vegas that I couldn’t do and have never had it blow up or freeze on me (knock on wood).
If price is an issue, I would look at Sony’s Movie Studio line (sub $100) as it is almost as functional as the full product and is easy to use and intuitive.
Just my $0.02.
