Is Vegas best for DVX100A?

Neither is best and it comes down to user preference. Period.

I personally use a PC because I have never been exposed to a MAC. I gravitated towards Vegas purely because I was on a PC. Am I stoked? Sure. I need the internet, some business apps to run, PC games and my NLE to make films.

It does what I need, flawlessly. No serious, it is flawless and without incident. It is so stupidly easy it's sick. It makes so much sense it's genius. Intuitive? Vegas. No clue what Policar means by with his mess of a paragraph:

"The interface just doesn't seem to offer the same functionality or direct and intuitive interaction with the footage. You can do the same things, but the ways in which you go about doing them seems convoluted. A bit more streamlined, perhaps..."
So it's not functional or direct and doesnt offer the same intuitive interaction yet its more streamlined... Hell you talking about boy?

The facts is, it just really flies right. Policar likes to chalk that up to:

"It's kind of like iMovie.....

(and we all know that's an attempt to belittle or bring it down to an amatuer or novice level SEE "though less "professional")

or

"FCP is NOT SIMPLE "

Blah blah blah. Okay Policar. You have the most professional machine and NLE ever in the world. Us VEGAS users are just a bunch of PO Trashy Wannabes. You're killing me. Stop already.

I'll say it again; I would never let a software program dicate to me what OS I am going to use. It better come with Haitan Dwarf Strippers for that to happen, know what I mean? I'm not looking for a relationship with my OS and NLE (cough cough)

I have ZERO ISSUES not only with the OS but the Chosen NLE. I can personally give a damn on what you use and why. Am I gonna have to sit here and hear it? That's the nature of the MAC user (relax people; generally speaking; you know who you are). Someone came into the VEGAS thread and asked which was better for a P4 XP? We all chimed in Vegas of course!

And then Ullanta had to chime in "Given the constraints of Windows...." (blah blah blah and continued sounds of flatulence).....................

I'm with David. People are asking questions and the MAC brigade is runing in crying. "It's not fair that FCP gets this rap!" Get over it. What are you getting a commission? We're not baggin on your girlfriend.

And did anyone ever answer the question of 'dragging and dropping' onto the timeline?

One thing I will agree on is with MATTC "Let it go Policar!"
 
I have offically been busted for reading DVXUser.com at work because I was laughing so hard reading John's post that people came into my office (fine, it's a cube, but let me have my moment please) to see what was so funny.

Brilliant post.

Well, with some of these guys you never know...

KIDDING, I'm just kidding. It's a cheap shot I know. I wish I was above that kind of behavior, unfortunately I'm not....

Neither am I Matt :beer: :cheesy:

not only did you outright attack FCP without evidence

No, I attacked you with evidence.

... but your argument quickly turned into an empty personal attack.

Yes. You're the one crying and making snide remarks. I call it like I see it. Come on man.

I should expect more from a moderator.

That was your first mistake. :beer: Don't get confused with the title.
 
John, I'm not going to respond to the rest of your comments

:huh:

Well, we can agree with that, but you be fair, too. Two totally out of context quotes don't in any way justify any of the above comments. I know you've had a bad month, though, so whatever, go ahead and take it out on me if you feel like being an ass. I still stand by every word I've said about Final Cut Pro, though, but I can see how barging in here dissing Vegas wasn't so cool, so I'll apologize for that. If you must know, I'm actually using Vegas on a project now and I think it's a very solid program. And, no, I don't have a girlfriend.... Maybe if I stopped wasting times on these forums and building stupid adapters out of PVC pipe it might change things, but probably not.

Policar

I can care less where you barge. It's a free forum. I can also care less what your beliefs are about which NLE to use; it's your decision but it doesn't make it the gospel does it?

Who was really being the ass huh? Or was I just calling it? You know what you were doing.
 
Gentlemen -- need I remind you that "Personal Attacks" are one of the three banned topics here (Politics, Pornography, and Personal Attacks being the three big no-no's of DVXUser.com).

Please drop it and discontinue any further attacks or namecalling; if the situation needs further resolving, please handle it through private messages. Thanks.
 
I see. Now, would that ban be limited to "The discussion of" said topics or are pornographic images verboten as well? I just want to be clear....
 
Images of, discussions of, encouraging the participation in, discussion of one's own ventures into, discussing the relative merits of, etc. There are many, many places where one can go to discuss pornography and their appreciation of it, or lack of appreciation of it, their wishes to get in the business, their experiences in the business, etc.

But those are other places. Not here. Discussions thereto should be moved elsewhere, as they are not tolerated on this board.

Regarding dual monitors, it all depends and comes down to preference. Personally, as a Vegas user, I am not set up for dual monitors. I hate the fact that I cannot preview on another monitor and have to use a tiny window (no matter how much you stretch it out)..

Version 6 does. V5 didn't, though. Just keeping you updated. :)

I have a strong suspicion that FCP will be available for Windows within the next five years. If so, more direct comparisons will be possible.
