How has Vegas put Premiere to shame? Please Explain. Are you aware that the Production Premium has a script writing program that makes use of Script Syncing? Premiere can import and export FCP and Avid projects. The Mercury Playback Engine when used with the Nvidia graphics cards offers almost umlimited realtime. Premiere can play the native Panasonic P2 Codec. Premiere integrates well with PhotoShop, Illustrator, AE, Encore and Soundbooth.
Are you sure Vegas puts Premiere Pro CS5 to shame?
I was about to buy a new CS5 system till a salesman at AVS (who you would think has incentive to sell) told me "if you are maxing out in Vegas you will max out more in CS5, even with merc....go figure.
this was of course in reference to the aforementioned maxed out demands

OK, we don't need a THIS NLE vs. THAT NLE thread here. Move along home, folks.

really? I think vegas users should really be exposed to all the information users of other NLE's are sharing... as technology, software included, is progressing maybe should the workflow of an editor as well? Maybe someone has been lost, torturing themselves using something that wasn't right for the kind of work they attend of producing, etc... i think such threads are very helpful, informal, and best of all open! as in every side could be heard and a person can make their decisions based on them...
And all that info is to be found in the other NLE forums. There is no NLE vs. NLE argument which has not already been hashed out countless times around here. We don't need another one. Thanks.
Export something Pro Tools can actually read. Unreasonable, I know; crazy expectations like basic functionality and all.
For that matter, export an EDL that, well, ANYTHING else can read.

A year or so ago I moved from Final Cut Studio 2 to Vegas - the only reason being that I was moving into HD and couldn't afford to buy a Mac grunty enough to handle it, I work in IT so could build a PC for a fraction of the cost. I was also moving jobs so would have had to buy my own Final Cut Suite as work provided one, Vegas Pro ticked all the price boxes, I had heard good things about it, had a play with a demo, but basically bought it because it was the only pro NLE I could afford.
I've had Vegas pro crash on my a couple of times, but each case was with a project that I was trying to work with mixed media, and playing around with my own Proxy Script, in each case if I copied the contents from the project into a new project I would be error free. Vegas also has pretty good crash recovery.
Final cut on the other hand crashed frequently and crashed often, and always chose times when the pressure was really on. In the heat of the moment Vegas so far has been flawless.
The only thing I would like is better preview speed ala cs5, but stability is fine. There are obviously other things coming into play with peoples issues.

I have Sony Vegas Pro 8, wondering what benefit I would get by upgrading / buying Sony Vegas Pro 10? I am just doing shorts for now, a couple a year. I am see 10 is able to create Blu Ray discs with menus, but do I really need that for shorts? I would like to get 10, but for $400 academic pricing even that is steep. Are there some major benefits for getting 10? Currently running 64bit Vegas Pro 8 on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS, 16GB RAM, hexacore AMD cpu.

If I'm reading this right, you should be able to upgrade for $139.00!
I would do that...just because.

I've been using Vegas Pro 9 and editing AVCHD native with no problems what-so-ever.

My main complaint/issues with Vegas Pro 8 are that I have major problems rendering to various formats, seems to be hit or miss with .mov and mpeg, although wmv rendering is not a problem. And the version c upgrade of 8.0c was horribly unstable, I had to downgrade to 8.0a to regain stability, but now I am using 8.1 64bit and it seems to work smooth except of course for the codec rending issues that continue. I would upgrade to 10 if it turns out to be stable AND have fluid seamless rendering to common codecs and containers, so tired of getting errors trying to render to mpeg4, mov, etc. Inexcusable for such a high priced video editor. For the kind of money you pay for it should just fricken work. I would like to stick with Vegas Pro because of the learning curve, I do not want to re-learn as the config settings and such of another editor like AVID or Adobe.
Where do you see an upgrade to Vegas 10 for $139? That link has it for $239.

Make sure you are logged in on the Sony site and it should show up for $139.
