Vegas 10 and multi timeline

[Paul James chatman]

Sorry to bring this up, but I got an discussion about on YouTube via the Vegas Pro 11 Launch video, and I read the whole thread: an no one has since defined a sequence versus a timeline. When they do, the argument regarding Vegas Pro not having is pointless. As I understand it they seem to serve the same function as nested projects (and the timeline lines within them).

Another thing I forgot to mention: If you moved files around, like copied the project to another disc – great fun if you have nested projects! You will have to open every individual nested project to show Vegas around where the files are now. On opening the master project Vegas will only tell you that there are nested projects with offline media. A real treat.

I recently bought a license for Vegasaur, which helps a great deal with nesting, too, as you can make a selection and have it exported as and replaced with a nested project. Still, you have these humongous audio proxy files, that have to be rebuilt every time you change something in a nested project. And all this to and fro between the projects.

Coming from Vegas, Premiere fells painfully rigid, yet it is a different kind of film making with multiple sequences available in one project environment, and decent media management, too. Not to forget being able to monitor all adjacent frames while trimming.
And it’s really stable and has great performance now, which I can’t say about Vegas any more (since version 10, and version 7 being the last really really stable release), which occasionally just disappears without even saying goodbye.

I guess you don’t feel this so much if you do a lot of shorter projects, rendering here while you capture there and look at some other stuff in another instance. But if one complex project is your major business, it’s just really a different environvent.

Anyway, happy editing to every one! -J.B.
