Happy to be back to Vegas!
I started with Vegas and then spent the last 5-6 years jumping from NLE to NLE trying different ones, and being forced to work with others. But honestly after all that time. I’m back on Vegas and boy am I happy to be editing in Vegas again!
I’ve enjoyed the working in other NLEs but Vegas works closest to the way I think editing should be. So I’m curious about those of you die hard Sony Vegas editors. I want to know about your creative process. How do you approach your projects, how do you think while you’re in the middle of a project. And why do you think Vegas work best for your particular thought process and workflow? Because I know there’s something special about Vegas editors, they are definitely unique!!! 🙂

_______________________________________________________________To quote Mick:”I said I know it’s only rock ‘n roll but I like it“. And Vegas? It just DOES it!
Vegas was spawned from Music software. It has Audio hard-wired into its DNA (apologies for the mixing of metaphors). Resulting in and meaning that if a piece of audio software is going to “cut it”, it’s gotta cope with the free-thinking, mind-jumping, wide-view creativity that musos have – bless ’em! And here with Vegas that’s what we ended up getting.
From what I’ve understood “other” video software has been developed to make that digital connection between the actual FILM hardware machines as controllers and editing suites with their legacy and wisdom of needing to thread frame upon frame through gates on an editing reel to reel deck. Vegas most definitely wasn’t coming from that background. From what I understand, Vegas started from the point of – Well, we have digital Audio, can’t we just digitize Video and in the same way edit Video as we do Audio, anyway something along those lines.
So Vegas already was way ahead of its time in dealing with the ONEs and ZEROs in Audio and Video. Now this can at times drive Frame-by-Frame jugglers much grief. I’m only lately getting an understanding of the weight of this most understandable angst. No real Real TimeCode on the Vegas Timeline – yes? Is that right?

Welcome back to Vegas, lol.
And that’s a question i don’t know how to truly answer,
i just think creatively when i start editing and Vegas is
set up so straight-forward, versatile and uncluttered, its
as if its in sync with my thoughts, and once i start editing,
everything falls into place and with great speed i might add.Steve Rhoden

Sony Vegas Pro is one of two of the greatest NLE’s made. I started out with Fast Electronics Video Machine. It was way ahead of its time with true hybrid editing. Sony bought them out, made their Espri system from its basis and then dropped it.
They learned their lesson and bought Vegas from Soundforge and continued to let it evolve. It is a great platform and I am glad I made the transition.
PS; does anybody want to buy three Video Machine machines complete with professional I/O boxes?
