Why would you give-up on working with Vegas?

Hi Friends,

My question here is neither a click-bait or a ill-intention. It is also not for those that are perfectly happy with Vegas and never picked on other editors, because all of their needs were met already in Vegas. :)

It is rather meant to be a support for Vegas developers, and if this is of interest for you, it indeed might be helpful for them to see what is exactly what could drive people away, despite the loyalty and commitment.

To start, I would give up on working with Vegas if the interface does not improve on some essential points and if the GPU integration will not be stable, so that the processing could use all the resources my system has to offer. With some projects, particularly I noticed with 4k footage, because the GPU does not contribute a whole lot to the editing, the timeline playback is not smooth at all and so the editing is very slow and unsatisfactory. Using proxy files helps, but weirdly, not always, even if "draft" or "preview" is used.

If these do not get addressed, as much as I enjoy the workflow (also this is not perfect though :)) I am sort of forced to choose some other editor, at least like I say, with some particular projects. I would like to be able to stay 100% in Vegas, for sure!!

Sorry, i aint switching, been using Vegas from version 4 until now and Crashes with Vegas has never been an issue for me..... I must be one of the lucky ones lol...... And whatever function Vegas doesn't have included, there always exists an OFX plugin that does!

Yeap!

It is shocking why these old Vegas users abandon Vegas and switch to Premiere or Resolve. They even encourage their fans switch from Vegas to Premiere or Resolve.

Yet here you are, in a forum full of old Vegas users, many far longer than 10 years, who use Vegas professionally on a wide variety of things from films to promotional videos to commercials to concert and festival videos... and yet there's only a few people in this thread who have much negative to say about it. Shocking indeed.

Shocking indeed frosty, yep, i for one longer than 10 years, uses Vegas professionally on every aspect of media content (Broadcast, Television commercials, Music Videos, Films, corporate videos & more), all Locally and internationally, ranging up to 8k specs, all using Vegas Pro....

Thus can never abandon Vegas, much less encourage anyone to switch for tons of reasons!

Shocking how one can rather see "negative" instead of "true". And equally shocking to deny that people, even those unhappy at times, do appreciate VEGAS and care about it and want to see it grow, so that they don't have to go with something else!!!!

Thanks for all the viewpoints. Locking this now.

@Sheriff-adeyemi Please stop your continual, repetitive, negative and provocative posting. The video you posted is not helpful. It shows a very old version of VEGAS. The poster does not even know which company manufactured the program.
