Mr.Si Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I did a search, couldn't find an existing topic on this particular software so here goes! Has anyone used Sony Vegas? as a video editting suite? - I'm looking to buy the package with the vegas and the dvd authoring software bundled together. This is so much cheaper than Premiere 6 / pro which I've used before, anyway, my mum wants to buy some software for our computer as we have currently not got any working on our new pc and we have a couple of things to edit. Has anyone used the software?What are your thoughts? Ta very much, Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I have met various people who love vegas (I'm happy with Avid and Premiere) The things they like are the intuitive interface and the fact that you can run multiple programmes at the same time. So you could run a copy and let it do some rendering or other task, while you run another copy and do some more editing. Down side is that it is well know for having very slow rendering times. Premiere isn't quick, but looks like a racehorse compared to vegas. It does integrate with sound forge rather nicely, so editing the audio tracks is quite simple - as in avid with protools. I've tweaked your post, Mr Si - I'm sure you'll work out why. paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 There's plenty of experience on loads of different systems over at the Simply DV forums. As for Vegas, no idea. I bought a Mac to get into video due to the ease of using iMovie. I then progressed to Final Cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.henderson Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Well I have never used the Vegas software but I have used other Sony software (like sonic stage and others) and they have been complete nightmares. Slow, crashes etc. Don't know if the video software is the same. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafc-dan Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I've been using pinicle studio 9 for a week, got it off my schools media studies block, its great. I hate the fact that to unlock the good featres you have to pay another £37! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 So you have STOLEN software and are complaining about having to pay £37 to open up features you shouldn't even have access to!! Not something Blue Room members usually care to brag about. As someone who has just signed a cheque for an Avid and a Final Cut system, I personally think stolen software stinks. Even more laughable is when 'cracked' sofware gets criticised for crashing, and gets 'knocked' when someone asks for help in choosing, as has happened a few times before.

cafc-dan Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Well not stolen exacly, I had to buy it off them for £40, as it had already been installed on the network, so it was a multi user version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
