Is Vegas Pro a professional software

Sheriff-adeyemi wrote on 5/13/2020, 10:20 AM

Other editing companies like avid are finding new ways for production house companies people who work as a team find new ways to work remotely from home

I think Vegas Pro should do the same since we are in lockdown thay should find ways for the user to work remotely since they might be a small portion of users working as a team using VP not like avid were u most production house using it.

In my opinion a professional software like avid and premiere Pro that makes it easy for three user to collaborate. Vp should have more support for working remotely or maybe this doesn't matter since Vegas doesn't give us the tools to collaborate apart from Nesta timeline.

Well avid is teaming up with Microsoft and have anyone tried out Vegas streams and is it any good beta version won't download on my laptop op.

I believe that is our wishes and I don't have the answer for that right now.

Ok the main thing is when it comes to VP there not much professional editors using it and when u say to someone do u want to use VP or avid or Adobe /

DaVinci resolve I think most people would choose industry standard software compared to Vegas even tho thay may have been some old move edited with Vegas.

Instead of flogging it again, couldn't we bury this dead horse? For various reasons, discussed to death in a recent thread, film and broadcast editors prefer NLE systems other than Vegas.

Lets not conflate this with "professional." There are a many professional editors -- men and women who practice an art they have studied, learned and continue to perfect -- who earn their livelihood using Vegas, who do not work in broadcast/film editing.

@JackW and @Musicvid : indeed and when one doesn't like vegas or intends to go working for film studio's and shoot with camera's like the F55, F65 , Venice instead of smart phones , simply subscribe for a year avid media composer ( about same price as an upgrade of vegas ) or try avid media composer first for free . Gosh 😉

Steve_Rhoden wrote on 5/13/2020, 3:20 PM

Exactly JackW, so tired to see at every turn their is a post about Vegas being worst than the other NLE's, Vegas is not for professonal use, or with insults towards the Vegas development team.

+1. They are just "troll" posts of the nature "I love you Vegas, so it's OK that I punch you in the face."

Real professionals (and just mature individuals) don't feel the need to do this. If they find that the software is not meeting their needs, then they simply move on without a fuss.

@Musicvid I guess then a skilled editor could use iMovie or Windows Movie Maker and obtain the same results as using Vegas...? Sorry, but this saying is one of the most used and yet one of the most stupid ones. No offence!

And guys, do not get too tired of people complaining, otherwise you might very well be still using Vegas 13, without any of the recent addition. Would you say you don't need all the latest ”professional” tools in Vegas? How do you think they came into existence? Because there would be people demanding them, crying, asking, explaining how everyone else has it, so Vegas need to have them too!

What makes a tool "professional"? It's relevance to present demands. A "professional" video player of 1990 is a mere museum display artifact by today's standard. So, if Vegas does not keep up with what happens with other NLE will slowly become less and less "professional".

About insults to Vegas team, nothing like that - rather all of these rants are meant I guess to be a motivation to continue diligently the development of this editor which we all love.

@Kinvermark What?! That is quite a ridiculous statement! :) Really is, sorry! No offence!

I used VP all the time I was just looking at what other NLE see what thay were doing I do think that would be nice to add those features but I don't think we would see those features like avid has in VP18 and it would be nice to have it and people are saying premiere Pro has become more slower or Adobe crash Pro

@Sheriff-adeyemi I agree with some other posters that you have made your point(s) clear several times starting here and in this thread as well.

Steve_Rhoden wrote on 5/13/2020, 4:54 PM

adimatis, these rants are NOT motivational to anyone, and does the exact opposite.... It does not promote better development of a software application!

Many users here asks (not rant) for features and the team listens, responds and they are gradually being implemented.

Can iMovie or Windows Movie Maker export image sequences needed for DCP creation, or make DCPs directly? What NLE did you use editing your last feature? I used Vegas Pro editing my last two.

Dafuque?!

I personally just tried my best using the tool / tools that is available for use.

Based on experience from 14 to recent 17 version - it is always getting better, although there are still many works to do.

Appreciate your inputs, appreciate your wishes... but help us in this forum by not repeating the topic many times (no 3).

Maybe easy-crashable and slowly developed are the crux of Vegas Pro.

VEGAS software developer should install Apple FCP, Adobe Premiere, AVID, Davinci Resolve, Edius, Autodesk Flame, Hitfilm Pro, Lightworks, Cinelerra and so on.

Then learn how to use them and find out why they are more industry reconized.

There are many slowly developed feature of Vegas:

basic multi-timeline;

operation directly in preview such as track motion;

color deviation between preview and render;

mingy poor FXs and transition, Even filmora has more FXs and preset;

a old-fashioned UI, even some homework softwares have more beautiful UI than Vegas, Vegas looks a twilight of the old;

and so on....

No, they shouldn't.

They shall continue to do their own stuff, which is developing and not copy/pasting horns of a bull to the head of a shark.
