From the overview looks like a nice program. I just switched to Vegas Movie Studio from Studio 9 and I would have looked closely at this one. But I really like what I have been able to do with Vegas Movie Studio, I just wish we had a couple of more options on title creation.

And Vegas Movie Studio has been very stable! Don't know about this other product.

Adobe web-site does not say very much product details. My guess is one video track and 99 audio tracks. It's capture direct to timeline and auto ripple edit.

Why 99 audio tracks - It's an audio editor or a video editor?
Anyone has more details to post?

That's enough to put me off without even trying it!

Why would anyone want to do that? (Capture direct to timeline.)
I'm serious...is there a reason to do this?

If you consider that a simple project may well consist of a capture followed by immediately importing the clip to the timeline, it would seem to save a couple of mouse clicks along the way. But it isn't enough of a convenience on its own to get me excited.

Got back an answer from adobe. 99 video and 99 audio for a total of 198 tracks. This product will be offered for $99 or bundled with the new photoshop elements 3.0 for $149.

I like that is does what Pinnacle Studio does, automatically snap clips together after an edit. I miss that in Movie Studio, but don't miss Pinnacle instability. If Adobe is fairly stable, it could be worth a look. Can't beat Movie Studio for stability, though.

Does anybody know if Vegas (or Vegas Studio) snaps clips together automaticly or turned on and off?

"snaps clips together automaticly or turned on and off? "

You can use the ripple edit, select a region (which is the empty space) , press delete and the clips will 'snap' together.
There's also options like insert 'time' and also 'ripple insert.

While I've been very pleased with the value, stability and power of the VideoFactory/Screenblast/Vegas MovieStudio product, a limited Premiere would be tempting (depending on how limited it is).

My loyalty is still with MovieStudio -- but if (as Adobe is wont to do) they offer an irresistible "competitive upgrade" price, it might be worth considering.

The challenge of having to manually line up each clip with the one before it (How many times have you later discovered tiny gaps?) is enough to make me think about it.

On the other hand, I'm continually awed by how much more Sony puts into each upgrade -- and at such an affordable price!

Maybe competition is a good thing...

Well, never! But then I almost always enable snapping and use cross fades ;-)

If you own photoshop elements 2.0 I believe you can get the photoshop elements 3.0 bundled with premiere elements for $119 directly from Adobe. Also saw that there was an additional $30 rebate from amazon (dont know the valid date) so you could be getting the bundle for as low as $87.

For that price it wouldnt hurt to add this to your toolbox.

BTW. Reading the Premiere elements user forum, the product has the ability to play video in reverse, a feature that i think is not in MS 3.0 at least, dont know if its present in VMS 4.0. Anyone?
