Software Reviews of Vegas Pro 8 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Vegas Shines
Summary: 5 Stars
Sony Vegas is a super tool; I lack sufficient superlatives to adequately describe my fondness for this program.
It's biggest strengths are it's audio capabilities, it's ability to mix resolutions and formats on a project, and it's use of multiple processors for rendering. It handles multi-camera with ease and presents a very nice UI for cutting between cameras. The ability to pan around a clip is awesome, and this feature is especially useful when incorporating stills. The audio and video adjustment tools are great too; in audio you can easily adjust volume or change pitch. In video you can boost the colors and lighten the "touch too dark" shots. There's a RAM render preview that's just perfect for verifying a transition or checking timing. The capture tools are awesome! Each camera take is a separate clip, all done automatically and hands-off! No mark in/mark out, unless you want to work that way.
I'm torn on the Media Manager. On the one hand it's super because clips can be tagged and/or commented for easy sorting and grouping. It has a nifty "point to it to preview" feature that makes finding a clip easier. But it lacks thumbnail previews and a mechanism to see what's already been used in the project, so one ends up going back and forth between file views.
It's biggest drawback is that the Protype Titler is very slow, not intuitive, and generally has a clumsy UI. Don't use .TIFF files either; if necessary convert them to JPEG in Photoshop and bring in the JPEG's instead. And the DVD Creator is quite confusing and doesn't multi-thread, so creating a production DVD from a project can take considerable time.
Vegas does require a lot of computer power to run nicely. We have a 2.4 GHz quad core on which it runs super. One thing Vegas does well is adapt to lesser machines. We previously ran on a 1.6 GHz single core and the program down-shifted where it needed to, making reasonable trade-offs. We were impressed that junior high kids were able to produce a project using Vegas with about 20 minutes guidance. Of course, there was considerable set-up required first, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend Vegas as one's first editor. But if you're ready to take off the training wheels and get some real work done, Vegas is an outstanding tool.
I've run other tools and for me, Vegas is by far the best, most powerful, and most flexible.
