| honet's Full Review: Sonic Vegas Video 4.0 Software, Create and Edit Me... |
I had been looking for something more than the usual newbie software included with most capture cards - such as Ulead. I mean that stuff is great for you to learn with, but is dumbed down so much that you hardly can do anything other than put a few clips together and throw some titles over the top.
Adobe Premiere seemed like the way to go, but one look at the user interface scared the hell out of me. I gave it a decent try and learned a few things but it became a real painful exercise (too much pain and not much gain!). And render times!! It really takes forever with Premiere.
I was looking for a decent alternative, checked out the opinions on the newsgroups, and found that Video Vegas is becoming a real favorite for many users.
Video Vegas is made by Sonic Foundry, makers of the excellent Soundforge sound editing package.
Downloaded a demo and found that Vegas is truly amazing and I was doing real cool things in no time at all. I even taught a friend of mine to use Vegas and he thinks it is so great it weaned him off Ulead too.
I am not a great reader of manuals, so the Vegas GUI makes it quite easy to experiment with the onscreen tools, merge clips, add titles and effects etc.
Video Vegas is powerful DV software with great sound control. It leaves Premiere in the dust.
Vegas makes it so easy to be creative. It is no wonder that Vegas is starting to have such a large following and Premiere has a lot of catching up to do.
Great product, a pleasure to use.
