Easiest to learn professional package at amateur prices! October 10, 2007
J. Martinez (Laredo, TX USA)
I engineer for several TV stations (owned by the same company), and have been exposed to most of the major NLE packages. No other system has such a small learning curve. If you want to start editing and winning awards immediately go for Sony Vegas Video. Media 100, Final Cut Pro, Avid Liguid Edition, Adobe Premiere, and various other consumer grade packages have alot to learn from the people that developed Vegas Video. Here's to Vegas Video becoming the new standard in Hollywood, TV Land, and Home Business based editors. I wish I had better words to describe my experiences, but suffice it to say Vegas Video is AWESOME!
Awesome, forget about Final Cut, or Premiere... get Vegas June 20, 2007

I have tried Final Cut Pro (FCP) because I heard that "it was sooo great". The only people that think FCP is great are the brain-washed bobble-head Mac users.
Overall Vegas is a much much much better written program, has fewer hoops to jump thru to get the result and is much easier to learn.
However, I do like having FCP as a supplement to Vegas... Live Type is a cool program that is part of FCP and Motion is ok too.
If I knew then what I know now, I would buy Vegas as my primary editor and buy a cheap Mac with FCP already installed on it to take advantage of live-type and a couple of the Motion features (like the spin feature)
Anyway, I hope that brings some light to this subject.
Great Software May 9, 2007

The main reason I purchased this software over another brand is that it works with Windows XP SP1 and the similar quality packages from other companies do not. I have not used the other packages, since they won't work on my machine. One of the features I like about this software is that videos can be positioned in 3-D space. Actually, it is 4-D space when you considered that it is also on a timeline. I did find that one must be careful with some of the features it has. Rendering one two and a half minute video with some videos rotating in 3-D space required sixteen hours. Experience should improve the ability to optimize the rendering cycle.
The DVD Production software has many more features than the majority of the point and click DVD burning packages that are widely available. If you have seen a feature on a DVD and wondered how to get it, it appears this package can make it possible.
All that's wrong with Adobe, Vegas corrects! May 2, 2007

Vegas was built from the ground-up with an emphasis on ease-of-use and stability. The original company was Sonic Foundry before they were bought by Sony, and I used their audio products for a decade before jumping into Vegas. My prior experience with Sonic Foundry was so positive with regards to stability and ease-of-use that I expected the same from Vegas, and I was not disappointed. Many people don't realize that Vegas is professional software. But it's so easy to learn, that I often recommend the cheaper "lite" versions to beginners. The framework is the same, so it's easy to move from a "lite" version to this pro version.
Premiere is saddled with a myriad of useability and stability issues. A former Adobe Premiere user told me, "I didn't realize what was wrong with Premiere until I started to use Vegas!"
This newest version includes all you need to start making films and DVD's.
ABC television's "NIGHTLINE" with Ted Koppel uses Vegas.
First-time independent filmmaker Stan Harrington won "Best of Show" at the 2005 Action On Film Festival. He learned Vegas, shot footage, and completed editing in twelve months.
Vegas is both easy to learn AND professional-grade software. I wish the same could be said of every software product.
I'm lovin it! May 1, 2007

I don't profess to being a pro or even a computer genius. In fact, I started video editing as a hobby just over a year ago with Adobe Premiere Elements. It's a nice little beginner program, but I outgrew it. A number of my vidding friends use some version or other of Vegas, so I decided to give it a try. I opted for Sony Vegas 7 over the lower end versions, as I figured I didn't want another piece of software that would restrict me. I am SO GLAD I did! I absolutely love it! There's a bit of a learning curve involved, but it didn't take too long to figure out how to do some basic navigation. I picked up a good reference manual, and that has answered a lot of questions. The online help is also fairly good. The program runs smoothly on my laptop, with an external hard drive to store my files. It has never crashed on me, and seems to render just as fast as Adobe Premiere. But the quality of the rendered files is absolutely beautiful! Clear, crisp images like I never was able to get before. I've completed two projects, and am totally pleased with the results. I still have a lot to learn, but it's sure a lot of fun. This is great software for even a serious hobbyist.
