The end is near for Sony Vegas
-
I feel your pain! I have been a vegas user since version 3,and yes each version gets more bugs.
With that said, all nle’s have more bugs with each release.just as the news today can only talk about wiener,
NLE’s can only talk about 3d and the next new add on we don’t want. So what I’m saying is as much as I hate the crashes and bugs there is not a great nle to switch to. -
It’s not a matter of doom and destruction of Vegas, Vegas is part of my anatomy! it’s a matter of facing the facts. Apple can afford to charge $299 for FCPX, it’s the industry standard, Sony could never compete with so little sales in comparison. Vegas was always easier to use and had great features that made it into an easy to learn and fast to use package. That was its edge, plus resonably priced. FCPX does all that plus a lot more now and it’s industry standard. I see the future of Vegas becoming a small time editor for home use at $99 if its to even exist. But professionally I can’t see it surviving unless Sony has some sort of magic bullet.

This past winter I gave up on FCP 7 and now use Vegas exclusively. I have a Mac Pro running both OSX and Win7. Final Cut Studio 7 vs Vegas; IMHO Vegas wins.

Hi Greg,
I’m with you with FCP7. Although I don’t have it, I’ve used it and have taken editing/filmin courses that use it. I also found it a real pain and unintuitive to use compared to Vegas. And so slow to use… this whole render thing.
However, it’s the advancements in FCPX that prompted Joel to start this thread…and may make me switch. and the price…. can’t beat it. $300 for an industry standard/professional NLE.
by the way, I’ve never taken a course which featured Vegas as the editing suite. Always FCP. again, for obvious reasons.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved Vegas but FCPX seems to promise to close the gap for me and negate my previous reservations from migrating to it.

Thanks Gilles, I wonder if the new DVD Studio Pro will support and burn BD?

Hi Greg,
I would be surprised if it didn’t.

You forgot to add the $2,000 dongle called a “Mac”… lol 😉

That’s funny John 🙂
Love your sense of humour!
Well engineered dongle though… doesn’t start to slow down over time and apps are not installed all over the hd but compartmentalized. 🙂

Lack of professional BD authoring is my largest frustration with Apple products.

I can’t argue with you there. I run Ubuntu Linux on my laptop because I hate Windows with a passion. I run it in a virtual machine only when needed. It is the worst OS design I’ve ever seen but it’s a necessary evil. Windows 7 has gotten better, but it’s no match for a Unix based OS like Linux or Mac OS.
