I want a familar interface! This is by know means a rip on Vegas but if they are going to try and grab customers away from Ulead and Premiere they would be well served to mirror the interface.
I have been using MSPro fro a few years now and trying to break into Vegas Video can be like trying something with your left hand that your right hand has been doing for years!
Specifically the motion paths. MSPro is VERY easy to figure out once you dive into it. I can't say the same for Vegas.
The output from Vegas is so good it just kills me that I have to go into MSPro to make a motion path, render the footage out uncompressed, and then import it into Vegas Video for the final render.
I wish Sonic Foundry would sell the very nice codec they developed as a standalone product. I would be more than willing to pony up the bucks to rid myself of the MS (YUCK) DV Codec.
I have not given up on trying to learn this software. Maybe time and trying will show that I come to prefer the interface of Vegas Video 3 but my initial reaction is,,,, "Hey I have been speaking english for my whole life, why should I learn how to speak another language just to get my point across?"
And from a marketing standpoint that is someting to consider!
