I appreciate you taking general statements and making them personal.



I'm in the biz.. I know what works and what doesn't. Vegas is crap when it comes to media management and output. It's a huge joke in the industry. If you don't know Avid or Final Cut.. you won't have a job. It's that simple.

That's why I was asking what the OP was going to be using the NLE for. He may very well get by with Vegas. However, if he's trying to get into a production house or start a career, he can just leave it on the shelf. It serves no purpose at that point.

Editing comes down to which you prefer. They all function in the same basic setup (timeline, cut, dissolve blah blah) but the way they react and how effects are applied and power as well as resolution base is different. That's why Vegas will never be used for a real workflow. It just can't handle a workflow.. and when I say real workflow.. I'm talking broadcast workflow. Premiere is light years ahead of Vegas and nobody even uses that for a real workflow. There is a reason behind this.. they are slow, fussy and just don't manage media very well.

If however, the OP is just interested in cutting some basic music vids or home movies or just playing around.. vegas will work fine.

So, I wasn't calling *YOU* a nobody.. I was merely pointing out that it's a waste of money unless you are just using it to do simple things.
