Why would someone choose Vegas over say the Adobe suite…?

[John Rofrano] “What does Vegas Pro lack for consumers? (wait you already said that you don’t know what they are). So if you don’t know what’s missing then how do you know that Vegas Pro doesn’t already have it? ;-)”

Good point John…. yes I shouldn’t really assume that there are things which could improve Vegas if I don’t know what they are… lol… but my assumption is based on reading how Vegas might run more optimally if it were re-written to match the pace of hardware development and the multi-core environment

So I have to wonder if there is a good case for some clever people to design an ideal NLE that uses ALL the feedback from video editors globally to write a program that the end user wants rather than trying to guess what they might like and then set about not just designing a new NLE but also the perfect machine to run it on.

So instead of trying endless combinations of hardware configs to get the best performance from the software, there is a union of software and hardware…. Of course Apple have already done that… (so I’m told) 🙂

I’m sure the legal department has gone over it as to avoid law suites, but from a moral viewpoint, it’s just plain wrong. With that I’d like to add one more point as to why choose Vegas. So far Sony has yet to outright lie to me about product features. So lets call it integrity.

Yes they have and that’s one of the big reason’s I moved to the Mac. These conversations are amusing to me, but I no longer have to worry about them. 😉

I’m off to my local Apple store to have a guided tour of FCP X…. I think it has to be worth a look and with the money I’m now looking at spending on a portable workstation I can get a really nice Mac Book pro… so lets go and see how easy it is to use with it’s magnetic timeline… I just watched some of the stuff from the Apple website and I like what I see.

If you want to be blown away, have them demo it on the new iMac with Retina 5K display. The display is not to be believed. I know you’re not looking for a desktop but for $2499 it’s an absolutely gorgeous machine for editing 4K in FCP X. Because the display is 5K, you can preview 4K video in FCP X at full size with room for the timeline and browsers!!! I saw it after I bought my Mac Pro and almost regretted the purchase. It’s really, really, sweet and worth a look even if you don’t plan to buy it.
