[Edward Troxel]

It handles it quite well. I’ve done MANY 2 hour events in Vegas and a handfull that were longer.

it works with my workflow.
i tend to work in 12-18min segments. now with V6 i can take the 4-8 segments ( veg files) and drop them in TL to see how the whole project is moving/flowing.
i capture whole 60min clips. use regions/markers in trimmer to identifly sections or will create subclips. current project media is on a terabyte 1394 drive.
don’t know about premiere but seems you have to have/create some type of organization on projects to certain degree…

I’m curious what new Vegas 6 feature allows you to do what you mentioned:
“now with V6 i can take the 4-8 segments ( veg files) and drop them in TL to see how the whole project is moving/flowing. ”

Thanks

Larry,

It is called “project nesting.” It allows you to place a Vegas Project File into a new instance or timeline.

It can be a drain on your system…at least I’ve found.

I think there is a bug involved with nesting atm. It seems to tax most persons systems.

There have been some complaints—wait for 6.0b–that should fix things up nice.

The main contolling factor in doing long form projects is you!

As long as you organise you material so you know what’s what and where, and Vegas offers several ways of doing this, most NLEs will be fine.

I’ll agree with Edward here. Vegas 5 is very stable as was Vegas 4. Vegas 6 so far has cause me some problems but that’s just me….and a few others 😉

Good friend, around these hearth stones, speak no evil of any creature

Here’s how to make Vegas 6 just as stable as V5:
Go into your preferences, to the general tab, and scroll all the way down to three entries from the bottom. Turn off the check box that enables the “Media Manager” and then close and re-open Vegas. I’ve had nary a hiccup since turning off this resource hog.

I just recorded a church convention in april. Each night was at least 1.5 hrs to 2.5 hrs. I edited in Vegas and used DVDA to make DVD’s.
