OK. So, what’s Sony Vegas lacking?

“You would think that Sony would make sure that Vegas Pro can ingest GoPro 4 Black footage without any problems but it cannot.”
I must be a Bumblebee because I just drag the mp4 files from my GoPro Hero 4 to the Vegas timeline. I didn’t know I was supposed to be having problems.

Apparently the Black shoots several different formats and they don’t all work properly. I don’t have one. I’m just going by what I’m reading in other forums. Lots of people are complaining.

So far, I’ve done 4K-30P and 2.7K-60P. Just drop them on the timeline. I have to admit that I am hooked on using proxy files for the rough cuts, but the Hero4 makes them for me – I just have to rename them for Vegas (.sfvp0 suffix) and I have my instant low-res (really low-res) proxies.

Actually, when I mentioned the “big boys,” I was referring to the “big” editing tools: Avid, Premiere, FCP.

Does Vegas not do well with 4K footage at this point?
What about version 13?

Oh I see… well the last version of Premiere Pro I have is CS6 and I\’ve read that CC is a lot better so it wouldn\’t be fair to judge Vegas Pro against CS6 I guess. I\’ve never used Avid so the only one I can compare it to is FCP X and they both have their pluses and minuses. FCP 7 is a lot different than FCP X so there are actually 2 FCP\’s to compare it to and many FCP 7 users are not switching to FCP X because of missing features. lol
Everyone\’s workflow is different so what is a missing feature to one person is an unknown features to another. If Vegas Pro fills the bill for you then why worry about what\’s missing for others?

The only reason why I posted originally was because I was reading on that forum and thought that it was strange that people were saying that SVP was lacking.
To me, it seems like a great program. Of course there could be improvements. That’s so with any program.
But I love SVP and it works for me. I was just curious as to what others would think of those posts from the Cinema5D website.
Lots have responded and they have been helpful.
BTW: have you, by chance, had an opportunity to add the enhancements to the TimeWarp plugin?

Not handling double system sound as a “married clip” is my biggest issue with VP13. I’m OK with using plural eyes to synch, but using another instance of VP as a “trim bin” just to be able to keep video and audio in synch is unworkable with large projects. I’m exploring Premiere Pro Cc now and cutting my first short projects on it. Having used VP since V8.0, I am surprised Sony never considered fixing this issue, but as other NLE’s handle double system sound better, I may be moving on.

Vegas used to have a decent video stabilizer. I don’t need it that much, but I like to have a good one when I need it. The one in VP 12 takes forever, and does not do that good a job. Jim

That’s because it’s a generation behind. They licensed the stabilizer from proDAD Mercalli v1 and the v2 stabilizer is much better but obviously proDAD would like you to buy Mercalli v2 instead so while it will do the job in a pinch, if you want better stabilization, get Mercalli.
