Customer Reviews

Easiest to learn professional package at amateur prices!
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
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
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.
