[Harold Brown] “I used to have a electric radio control car called a RC10. I have a real 2 seater sports car and that little RC10 could jump off the line faster than my real car could. It even got about 30 feet in front until I rocketed past it at about the 35 foot mark. My 11.5 inch wide tires crushed that thing in the process and that was about it. I guess the bigger and better car just took a bit more energy to get moving. However, if you were impatient or jumped to conclusions and turned your back at the 30 foot mark you would have voted for the toy to win. You would have been wrong.”
what are you talking about?

[jeditdv] “I use Excalibur (the Overlap Media) tool but I’m sure there are others available.”
It’s expensive!
[jeditdv] “Go to Options – Preferences and turn off the Media Manager. Then it will load in about the same amount of time as Vegas 5 and earlier. Of course, then you can’t use the media manager.”
I see… I tried it… 17 seconds and ulead 15 seconds…

[jeditdv] “Ok, you mentioned this three times so I’ll answer it twice. Vegas 6 has a new feature called the Media Manager which is a powerful database for organizing your media. When you start Vegas, it must also start all of the database services (basically, SQL Server Lite) which is what is taking the time. If you are not making use of the Media Manager, you can turn this off by going to Options – Preferences, scroll down to the bottom of the list, and there is an entry which reads: “Enable Media Manager (requires Vegas restart)”. Uncheck that option and your start-up times will be much faster.”
I tried it… a success… rendering, not a success…

>”In Media Studio Pro 7, you can trim the video even if it means milliseconds…”
In Vegas you can enable “Quantize to frames” under Options, which is sensible if you’re trimming video, and this means that cuts will always be to a whole frame, but if you disable this you can work right down to sample level – handy for some audio trimming. Use your mouse wheel to zoom in and you’ll see.

[Terje A. Bergesen] “This is another area where I think one could say that you are wrong, and simply do not know Vegas. As I said, I have used Ulead Media Studio for a long time, and scrubbing and trimming in Media Studio is a pain compared to Vegas. Both the Vegas trimmer and trimming directly on the timeline is far easier with Vegas than with ULead. In Ulead I found that I all the time used the mouse to cut a clip, and then forgot to uncheck the cut button, which means that the next time I went to move a clip I inadvertently cut it, easy to undo with Ctrl+Z, but pressing Ctrl+Z all the bloody time is a real pain. Never happens in Vegas.”
But the cut thing feature is really usefull especially in MediaStudio Pro 7.
[Terje A. Bergesen] “Finally, cropping in ULead is not hard, it is nigh impossible. The key-framer window is so small as to be completely useless, pre-viewing on a smaller-than-stamp sized window is not feasible. This is another one of the things ULead has been made aware of for years, and rumor has it that it is fixed in v8, but it should have been fixed in v6.”
Have you tried the latest version of Media Studio?

In Vegas, to cut you simply press “S”. No need to change a “cursor mode”

Sure it is, but all NLEs have this feature, and the Vegas feature is so much better than Media Studio Pro.

I used the latest version until May of this year.
