  • Vegas Lite ? Traveling, want software that works on a tablet or cheap laptop, but I want to open my work in Vegas later.

    Posted by Christine Neuvil on August 8, 2019 at 3:46 am

    I want to take a small cheap tablet or laptop while I travel, and make simple edits – just single AV tracks – not even crossfades. I just want to trim and extract highlights – and ideally create Regions or Markers. When I get home, I want to be able to open my work in Vegas.
    Using Windows 10.
    What would you recommend?
    Thanks

    Thanks. Looking at the specs, it seems a compatible laptop would cost more than I want to spend for this purpose.

    Raising the bar: Is there an Android App that would do my super-simple editing tasks AND create edit files that I can later open in Vegas?

    (I already have a quite good phone – Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) – with Android 9 (“Pie”) – and a 128 GB micro-SD card.)

    Thanks

    Maybe:

    Magix Movie Edit Pro?
    – says https://alternativeto.net/software/sony-vegas/?platform=android
    – product page: https://www.magix.com/us/video-editor/movie-edit-pro/
    – $69.99 US

    Magix Movie Edit Touch?
    – free app for Android, says same source: https://alternativeto.net/software/magix-movie-edit-pro/
    – NOT in Google Play. why not?
    – product page: https://www.magix.com/ca/apps/ – says it is an App for Windows.

    Might any non-Magix Android App save project files in a format Vegas easily opens?

    I found Vegas can open these project file types:
    .csp (Cinescore Project File)
    .vf (“Movie Studio Project Files”)
    .txt EDL – generic? Final Cut Pro can “save as” EDL.

    That is not a definitive list. Are there more project file types that Vegas can open?

    Can any Android Apps save project files in EDL format (with a .txt extension)?

    No relevant results.

    I wish I could edit my posts on CreativeCow if I do so quickly and before anyone else has replied.
    Perhaps I just should not post until I have a total answer, but I discover more than I expect as I go. I wasn’t expecting to find things like:

    Magix Movie Edit Pro
    – still on Magix’ website, but their link to “Get it from Microsoft” link is dead, and searching Windows Store finds no results.

    Try finding your posts listed by search, terms: your name. Click the post you want to edit?

    The post I wanted to edit is within this thread. Finding my posts is easy enough for me. Finding an “Edit” button – impossible.

    “Try finding your posts listed by search, terms: your name. Click the post you want to edit?”
    After that I see my post. At the bottom left side I see the options to
    Edit Posts Index Read Thread “Quote”

    Edited to check if this works

    I did so quickly and before anyone else has replied.
