  • Making the switch from FCP to Vegas pro

    Posted by Kenneth Maultsby on August 9, 2009 at 5:39 am

    I think my first post got lost but anyway I am making the switch from Final cut Studio to Vegas pro 9. The reason why I am making the switch is because I would have to purchase a new MAC to do HD AVCHD and after doing some reading Vegas would be the perfect answer to do all from SD to HD and when I purchase my new HD camcorder. I just have a few question.

    1. Final Cut Studio has soundtrack Pro What dose Vegas have?
    2. Final Cut Studio has Motion what dose Vegas have?
    3. Final Cut Studio has compressor were I use compressor to do three to four different projects over night what dose Vegas have?

    I will be installing Vegas on a Dell XPX studio computer with the Intel I7 chip with three gigs of memory anything else you guys can recommend would be greatly appreciate.

    For most of the things you would need to go to Soundtrack Pro for, you can do directly on the timeline in Vegas. However, if you need it, the alternative in Vegas would be SoundForge – a separate product by Sony.

    Some things you may be able to duplicate directly in Vegas. However, you’ll probably need to look at a third party program depending on your needs.

    You have a couple of options. First of all, you can simply open Vegas multiple times and tell each separate instance to render a different piece.

    A second option would be to use a batch rendering script. The script can then start the second render once the first render has finished.
