Hi Kyle,

we’re having the same problem. Want to switch from FCP7 to PP5.5 but without preview on clients monitor that doesn’t make sense.
We are now experimenting with older driver versions…

hi bernard,

most of our film were produced on panasonic cameras (varicam and hvx 200). though i don’t like the style of sony-cameras normally we did the “melitta” films on a z1.

hi gary,

we use vegas for pure cutting though it has great possibilities in compositing.
everything that is not a cut, was done on a compositing system.
if you have questions on a certain part of a film, don’t hesitate…

Thank you guys.
Beside the last 3 commericials every film on that page was edited in Vegas.
Color Correction, Titles, Effects etc. in After Effects usually.

NO IT DOES NOT AND IT’S REALLY ANNOYING.

This is the answer I received from Blackmagic on that issue:

“No chance for a quick update. We are currently working on getting support for Vegas 8, but there still a number of hurdles to overcome. Rest assured we are working on it, but we have not set timeline for release.”

Hi Gray.

My advice is to “force” your friend to edit one project together with you and Vegas. Based on my experience this convices everyone.
Here in Germany nearly no one knows Vegas, no client, no director (and unfortunately no freelance editor 😉 ). But after working with us on a project especially people with experience in other editing systems do not believe how fast you come to a result.

The first cut of this commericial:
http://www.thirty-seconds.de/Element.html
took us one hour for example. Try this with Avid.

We do not invest in Avid any more. We have one office equiped with Media Composer, Adrenalin and XPress and I hate it to see how circumstantial it is to work with them and how long it takes to achieve a result that needs a few mouse-clicks in Vegas. So, in our new and second office we only work with Vegas and are happy with it, apart from the fact that Vegas 8.0 does not support Decklink cards at the moment 🙁

Good luck
Thomas
