Summary: Buy It !
Review: I have about 10 consumer video editing software...and Video Explosion Deluxe is the BEST for this category. It has 3 video tracks. 3 audio tracks . It comes with 4 CDs with lots of video clips and music.I was very impressed when I edited my stills some I took off the background, and put this on track two with a nice video (or another still:nature)on track one and a frame or title on track 3...For me VIDEO EXPLOSION DELUXE is between consumer and pro video editing. (Portuguese: Eu tenho uns 10 software de editar videos...e Video Explosion Deluxe e um dos melhores nesta categoria .Isto tem 3 tracks de videos. 3 tracks de audio. vem com 4 CDs com bastante video clips e musicas. Fiquei impressionada quando editei algumas fotos que tirei o background e coloquei no track 2,no track 1 um video ou outra foto com paisagem de natureza e no track 3 uma palavra ou moldura. Para mim VIDEO EXPLOSIOM DELUXE esta entre o basico e o profissional de edicao de videos).

Summary: Amazing!
Review: I love this software. It's got everything you really need if you're a prosumer. You can start doing really complex techniques in about 10 mins. If you've ever used Acid for music, then it will be a breeze for you. It's the exact same system, except for video.

Summary: Excellent lineage, but will it be updated?
Review: Video Explosion Deluxe has a great heritage. Its nearly identical to Sony Screenblast Movie Studio v3 (both came from Sonic Foundry before Sony bought out their media division). It also bears a striking resemblance to Sony Vegas, a high-end professional editor. There's a lot of power built into this software, especially for the price. There's some excellent transitions, and the color-correction is quite good as well. The included clips are only so-so, but some may get a use from them. Rendering time seems a bit slow (usually takes 3x the length of the video to render it; ie: a 1 hour video takes 3 hours to render on an AMD 3200+ with 1 GB of RAM). But the rendering is excellent - no noticeable video noise added at all.

My only concern is the lack of updates from Nova Development. They don't seem concerned with updating the software. When I bought this, for example, Ulead VideoStudio was on v6. Ulead's gone onto issue two more versions, and Nova's still on 1.3. Its still a better product than Ulead, but I'd like to see commitment.
