have been asked to put together the video production elements of uni course (multimedia). have no problem with that, but am looking for reasonable arguements as to why to use vegas rather than the perceived industry standards, such as, avid or fcp.
as it is, for first year students i make them use windows movie maker, simple cut to cut - no frills, no gimmicks. once they learn the art of traditional editing, then they can start playing speilberg. that said, i've used most nle's, and my arguement that if they we're really serious about industry standards, maybe they should think about investing in digibeta along with quantel boxes, etc., raised blank looks. i'm dealing with a buch of academics who have had very little experience of the commercial world, and seem to know the buzz words, but not the buzz.
one of the most impelling arguements so far was that if we looked at vegas movie studio, we'd be saving a great deal of money that could then be spent on other things - such as the academic junkets...
simple arguements greatfully accepted.
