Movie Studio 13 is extremely easy. At first glance, you can see everything, right where it should be. A program window, timeline, and bin to choose your footage, effects, and transitions.

There is no proper preview window in Movie Studio 13, which means you must place the whole clip in your timeline, and then trim it down to where it should be.
Not that big of a deal if you have short clips. A very big deal if you have long clips in which the camera is continually rolling, such as the Phantom 2 footage we used to try it out. In addition to the lack of a preview window, there is no way to set an external video preview.

However, if you're looking to get past the deluge of features in more complex software; sifting through all sony movie studio platinum 13 rendering problems free download the overwhelming options of expensive professional software, this is a good place to start.
