Vegas Pro as DAW + 'DVW'?

Hello:

 

I have VPS 21 build 315 and have very slowly learned how to fix a couple problems on video I capture.

I have never gotten into DAW for recording music, but am thinking about it. I bought a used Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 and pondered how to combine video with DAW audio.

It occurred to me, despite my slow learning, that VPS has the ability to do a lot of the video and audio tasks.

I have followed suggestions, for certain tasks, to use 3rd party apps like MP4Splitter and MP4Joiner.

I don't have a plan or specific need, other than a friend wanting to record some solo guitar work on video. I can do phone video and not touch it, or maybe use VPS since I already have it?

Good idea, bad idea? Practical, impractical?

Thank you

 

Murray

You can certainly record video and audio and combine them in VEGAS.

It's possible to run video and audio directly into the computer though VEGAS Capture may or may not recognize the sources. I've used Stream for that in the past if you still have it around. I've connected my mirrorless camera as a USB webcam.

The third party OBS should be great at that too.
