  RE: You Can NOT Test Catalyst Edit!
  Am I mistaken, or does Resolve only offer full-screen display over SDI? You can preview full-screen, but the preview covers up the GUI on single-monitor mode. On dual-monitor mode, full-screen preview covers up the node tree and color controls.

  If they want to follow, they should follow Blackmagic and give away Catalyst Edit for HD work, and sell the 4k full version.

  RE: Are there any pro editors still using Vegas?

  Give Fusion from Blackmagic Design a try. It has a learning curve but the chroma keyer in it is far better than the one in Vegas. Did I mention that it's free :) p.s. an unaltered image (i.e. sitting in front of the green screen) would be best for
