Later this summer, I’ll be editing a narrative feature film using Vegas — my favorite NLE. See here: http://www.TheOtherSideoftheTracksMovie.com

I was just at the Miami International Film Festival (screening a short film, which I also edited in Vegas) and there was a filmmaker panel on editing, hosted by Nick Moore (see here: https://imdb.com/name/nm0601680/). Nick’s favorite NLE? It just doesn’t matter; whatever you’re comfortable with. If you’re hung up on this question, chances are you’re missing the boat.

That being said, here’s the real thing that hurts Vegas when it comes to being considered a “Pro” NLE: lack of a 10-bit color space — which every other NLE supports. But here’s the crux, just about every high-end HD cinematography camera (including the Varicam and Sony F900 CineAlta) records only in 8-bit color!!! So in away, even this argument is moot. 🙂 But to be technically correct, bluescreen work and certain transitions will work better under a 10-bit space. Lastly, the lack of certain native “Pro” codecs doesn’t help (e.g., DVCProHD).

Vegas rocks!!!

Take a look at the Fostex PD6 digital audio recorder/mixer. I believe that it can record TC at 23.976. I always edit at 23.976…my NLE removes the extra pulldown frames, as I imagine your’s will too. Hope that helps for part of your question.
