Has Vegas ever done a FEATURE Film??

[Leslie Wand]

i doubt any feature FILM has actually been edited on vegas, nor any other NLE (including avid) come to that. they have been off-lined, assembled, cut, whathaveyou, on them, and the results then negmatched to produce the final resulting FILM.

sfx are created in software, but transferred to film eventually. the question is rather; has vegas been used in a feature, to which the answer is probably numerous times. then again, so have many other nle’s (notably avid credits).

has a feature been edited on vegas, i’m sure the answer is yes, but the resultant film (transferred from dv to film) always looks like it.

having edited feature film many years ago, it was done on nle’s that today look about equal to the job as a palm pilot would be! but my editing was simply cut to cut, as is most feature film work. sfx, is a whole seperate ball game. as is audio, etc., when was the last time you saw a page turn, cheesy cross fx in a feature?

Star Wars: Episode III 😉

i stand corrected – but then again, i rate star wars along with macdonalds, late night adverts, and the rest of the mindless drivel.

my mentors always said – if you have to use an effect, you either don’t know how to write a script, or you’ve got nothing to say…. then again, eye candy does keep the dumbed downs amused…

slowly vegitating in my own bile,

Ha! I remember laughing at some of those transitions. It made me feel a lot better about my own editing!

The recent “Sasquatch Hunters” that aired on Sci-Fi was edited in Vegas.

The transitions were done to give the film the feel of the old film serials like Flash Gordon.

Actually, my new 6 hour epic was edited in Vegas. Unfortunately, someone from Asia pirated it at hits grand opening at Gruman’s Chinese Theater and MGM won’t distribute it.

I don’t undertsand these kinds of questions. A I just started editing my feature in Vegas 3.0. Since 85% off all my editing is straight cuts (as it is, IMHO, in most movies), what difference does it make what NLE I use?

The Civil War movie Cold Mountain with Nichole Kidman and Jude Law was edited in FCP.

If you edit for hire the job market is pretty much Avid or FCP. If you edit for yourself pick what is most effective for you. For me that was Vegas V. 4 which I am still on. We shall see about Vegas V. 7.

For me, my purchase depends on V. 7 improvements of text presets. Like everyone else I am pretty much straight cut or fade to/from black in the body of a program, but when it comes to intro/outro Vegas is weak with text effects in general for example one letter at a time slide in/out or a shakey text effect are presently non existant. Text scrolling is another area screaming for improvement.

Unfortunately is has a lot of impact on the consumer. Which affects sales. Which affects R&D & longevity of the product, plugins, work opportunities etc

🙁

that’s why the FCP users are always mentioning Cold Mtn.
