WHY I LOVE VEGAS PRO FOR EDITS! And Choose To Stay With Vegas!

Posting again after my last post, so I just wanted to say, after years of trying different softwares, different editing styles I finally figured out that Vegas Pro was the best software to use for editing videos. I tried after effects 15 times before. Kept going back and forth a few times. I tried it finally for 2 months or so for edits. But unfortunately my workflow and quality was terrible on export and I decided to switch back to Vegas officially. If just comes so naturally to me since I used Movie Studio Platinum V12/V15/V17..

Sure after effects has Glitchify, Twitch, Omino diffusion, and deep glow effects etc. They were cool to use. But I made my own Glitchify effect in Vegas, my own deep glow effect, and I'm sure there's a way to make the omino diffusion in Vegas somehow.

I wished that people still used Vegas for stuff. Like it's criminally underrated and underestimated. I mean there is a Vegas pro discord 2 I'm part of but people are moving to different software for editing.

I am going to try my best to make tutorials for edits like in after effects, there were a few channels that did but that's from 2-6 years ago now. But there's one that still does.

I'm glad after trying Capcut PC, Premiere Pro, Davinci Resolve, and After Effects that I finally can go all out on my edits without feeling the urge to go to another software again. Only took 13 years. Lol.

Also if you were curious about my ratings of each software.

Capcut PC: 6/10 It was good for its time VOCAL ISOLATION Tool is a 10/10

Davinci Resolve: 4/10 The Nodes were confusing! But someone did make awesome scripts for it like deep glow, and fade up words and stuff for edits. But the timeline so confusing at times.

Adobe Premiere: 4/10 Confusing, when I moved a video clip on top of another the video cut or something, same thing in Resolve like it cuts it.

After Effects: 8/10 it was good, I wished it worked out with it but quality and everything. And workflow. But someone did make awesome scripts for it for edits.

Vegas Pro: 9/10 what can I say, it doesn't deserve the hate it gets. Like it has a flow graph plugin for pity sake for perfect zooms and effects and VEGASAUR for auto beat. Perfection! Sapphire plugin, Ignite plugin, BCC, Twixtor.

But yeah. I'm really glad I moved back to Vegas! I think I'm 55% there now into mastering it. I got a long way to go.

Also, I shared a comparison edit of a captain America Edit I made in both After Effects and Vegas. Tell me which one is better?
