I made a promise to one of my best friends that I would help him with a fairly serious project if he ever learned an NLE and started to work on a project of his wildlife images/videos. That was a couple of years ago. Well he did get a NLE and he did learn how to use it. BUT now he wanted my help and I don't use that NLE and I bought the one he has been using (this is not about which NLE is the best, but how do you use two NLE). The one he comes with a free speed editor now, so I sprang for it. I've spent about 10 hours and can now do some of the things he has had issue with, but because I love the Vegas work flow the new NLE seems "difficult" to learn. I can see where for his long project with lots and lots of still and video files might have some benefits in this new NLE. I have to help my friend (we shoot together at least once a week on an all day outing). I need to pass the things I do for him in a file that works 100% in his NLE - that is why the need for the same NLE.
I keep thinking certain things I could do so much easier in Vegas, but I know what a big thing it was for this person to learn an NLE and he wants to work collaboratively on this project when he gets stuck.
If you successfully use two different NLE's can you tell me how you do it, and how you make a decision on what to do on each NLE?
