In the rendering output options, you can select from GPU-assisted rendering or Intel’s Quick Sync optimizations (for systems with newer Intel CPUs). It has an attractive interface and some neat features, including the ability to invite people to your “group” via Facebook or email, the option to put media on a timeline and/or a map, and the ability to apply some basic rights management. With Pixelcast, you can share videos and photos, and then alert family and friends that you’ve done some good work there and that they can upload photos and videos of their own. Sony also added the ability to upload videos directly to its new hosting and sharing site, Pixelcast. The application itself is pretty lean, especially for a video editor the digital download was only 177MB. (Movie Studio Platinum 12 now allows you to add up to 20 video tracks and 20 audio tracks, up from 10 each.) Even on that fairly demanding project, the application didn’t run out of RAM, and the fact that it splits up the work between two separate processes-even if one is a 32-bit one-indicates to me that it has headroom. The project I set up to test the memory usage contained 20 high-definition video tracks and a few audio tracks. The second process consumed nearly twice as much RAM as the main application did at one point the main application was taking up 500MB of RAM, while FileIOSurrogate.exe *32 was consuming more than 800MB of RAM.īut whether Movie Studio Platinum 12 is truly a 64-bit application probably isn’t a big deal. Sony says that some third-party components, such as QuickTime, are not available in 64-bit form, so Movie Studio Platinum needs a helper process to support those components.

However, whenever I played back the timeline or rendered video, a second, 32-bit process called ‘FileIOSurrogate.exe *32’ appeared in my system’s Task Manager. Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 allows you to add up to 20 video tracks and 20 audio tracks.
