Premier vs. Sony Vegas
I use Sony Vegas to edit my feature films I’m producing. This is the only editing software that I’ve used before. How does it compare with Adobe Premier?

Although I’ve not used Sony Vegas much, let me stick to what I believe helps me as person who uses Premiere Pro to earn a living:
-The Mercury playback engine in Premiere is phenomenal. The right Nvidia graphics card will allow GPU acceleration for native codec playback and rendering to some codecs (looks like those in the MPEG family thanks to MainConcepts). Saves time prerendering, if prerender is needed at all.
-The round trip integration with other Adobe products is a time saver. I can bring Photoshop files into anything, bring a Premiere timeline into After Effects for titles, effects, and color grading, bring Audio into Audition or Soundbooth for doctoring, then take the After Effects file and bring it into Encore and burn a proofing DVD for a client. May not be important for you (Vegas looks like it has some nice audio tools) but it is for me.
These are the two “deal sealers” that save me the most time in comparison to using any other NLE.
