Pro set-up HDV
I am setting up a edit bay for a Studio client.
They are shooting and posting on the HDV format.
They want Final cut pro.
As sony has the cameras and deck they have a chance to Get Vegas out if front now. My comment is that they are using sony cameras and decks and format, why not sony editing software?As a Film Telecine colorist, I like the picture better in Vegas.
What would you recomend as a Vegas turnkey set-up with tec support? Is there a company that does this?
also what do I say reguarding the comparison with a final cut set-upThe Vegas sony tec support is terrible, but maybe the final cut apple support is not any better?
Jobs are:
Master to tape and author DVD
Master to tape, bump up to HD, Is that possible? or digibeta and broadcast.
Plus website clips and fram grabs
thanks, Greg -

In all honesty, the two don’t really go together. The “Why Vegas” should be on the merits of Vegas – not because they’re using a Sony camera.

There are several companies that will build you a Vegas workstation. You might check at VideoGuys to see a system they built and/or see a list of possible vendors. Another that comes to mind is Boxx.
Tech support comes directly through Sony. You can also get a lot of support on the forums (like this one).

I would not totally agree with this statement. I know it could be better but I definitely would not rate it as “terrible”. Plus, as I mentioned above, you have all the great forums for help as well.
