monty-james Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hey, just wondered what everyone uses to edit and what they prefer to other software and why? I use Sony Vegas Pro 9.0, the only programs ive only used are Windows Movie Makers, IMovie (Not sure what year it was, im aware though newer version is better), Final Cut Pro and Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9.0. I prefer Sony Vegas Pro 9.0, mainly because ive used it the most and i know where everything is. I prefer it over Final Cut Pro, i might be wrong but FInal Cut seems to have alot of useless buttons needed to be clicked to do something. If that makes sense?

Tom Canham Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) I used final cut in media at school, and i quite like it. Just thought it had some good features and simple to use. I think that Imovie and Windows movie maker and a bit basic. Not used Sony Vegas. Edited January 15, 2011 by Tom Canham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty-james Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Vegas is pretty good, its got all the same features as Final Cut as far as im aware but without the hastle of having to click a button to cut something. Im probably being really ignorant about it but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Thought i'd ask this on here. My windows movie maker lags when i'm editing HD footage, is that just because my computer can't handle it or is it because WMM is bad with editing HD or a mixture of both? Any recommendations of a good editor for HD footage if your computer isn't that great for editing 720p? ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty-james Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Its most likely WMM, i was talking to a friend who tried editing HD on WMM and he said it just could hack it. If you want to take the risks, you could Keygen something like Sony Vegas Platinum 9.0, which is good and not too complicated. It should be able to take the HD and not lag and theres some pretty good stuff on there too. Just take a look on youtube like "Getting Sony Vegas Platinum 9.0 For Free" Im sure you will find something. Or you could pay £60 for it, or like £200 for Vegas Pro 9.0. Noone wants to do that though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max-t Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 You really shouldn't be discussing keygens etc in here. This will probably get closed. To answer your question, Sony vegas 9.0, 10, they're pretty much all the same anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstant Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Mac... Final cut or Premiere (in that order) Windows... Vegas or Premiere (likewise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty-james Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Mac... Final cut or Premiere (in that order) Windows... Vegas or Premiere (likewise) I could go with that. I know Premiere is good but i have never actually used it, ive heard good things though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noone wants to do that though.... If you are going to keygen, be very careful. I used one the other day and im never going to use one again. I opened it and it disappeared and windows just kept crashing every 10 or so minutes. So for me it was a complete re install of windows. Which was sort of did good for my computer. So i would advise against using keygens. Edited January 17, 2011 by Tom Canham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty-james Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah i know they can be risky, like i said but ive got one for all the Sony computer/editing software and its virus free which is great. Just need to find the right one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Sorry to bring back an old topic, but I was wondering what format of video people use in sony vegas? I have pro 9.0 and I have tried using MP4's and MOV's but both appear as blackness when I import it, anyone know any ways around this? Do I need to download a codec or something? If not, what common HD formats does it take? Any help would be great, Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Final Cut Pro. I always personally worked with Vegas and in college on FCP and found Vegas easier to work with, but this was only my ignorance of not wanting to pick up FCP also. FCP makes much more sense and works very very well and effective, it is more logical than Vegas, and is ultimately used a lot more in the industry than any other editing software, so it is very good to get used to as soon as possible.

monty-james Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 It depends which Vegas you use though, id much rather use FCP to Vegas Movie Studio, but Vegas Pro is pretty damn good and i prefer using that to any other software ive ever used.
