Good software if you're willing to invest the time
By Stephen Jenkins
Vegas 4.0 is not for the faint of heart or for those who are not willing or able to take the time to learn a software package that is capable of producing professional video productions suitable for broadcast or film.
That being said, if you are willing to put some effort and time into learning it, Vegas will reward you richly. Having moved from Ulead Videostudio, I found that I immediately had much greater control over every part of my video. Color correction, transitions, unlimited number of audio tracks, over 30 DX effects for sounds, and the list goes on and on. The key here is that when you create a quality product, it's because of your own creative vision, not one imposed by the software.
If you've outgrown lesser packages or need the power straight off, I highly recommend Vegas. If you are just starting off or don't have the time to invest, pick another product.;

By A Customer
I am a Television production major and I work at a TV station editing commercials to pay for school. Between work and school I have used Adobe premier, Final Cut Pro 2,3,4, and various versions of Avid, Vegas is the only one that I have bought for my own use. Vegas takes the power of avid with a interface that is almost as simple as Final Cut. Unlike most programs in this price range it is possible to make broadcast grade projects using Vegas. It is also able to do a lot of things that would have normal taken after affects to do saving a lot of time.
PositivesVery powerfulLow priceHas a built in waveform monitor and vector scope. No more guessing if your colors are hot.
NegativesThis program is not for beginners, or for people that are only working with there home movies; it is actually a intro level professional product.

By Randy Lee
Sony Vegas 5 was something I didn't expect, I expected a more memory consuming version of Windows Movie Maker 2. But once I installed Vegas onto my system and ran it for the first time, I never realized how vibrant my movies could be. I had shot a movie and edited on Windows Movie Maker 2 a while back, and just today, I imported the original movie files into Vegas, and made a near similar cut, but I added split screens, opening titles, and the comic ending in just 10% it took to make the movie in Windows Movie Maker 2, and I didn't have split screen stuff like I did in Windows Movie Maker. And not only that, when you're done with your video, you can easily burn it to a video CD (If you want to burn it to DVD you need Sony Vegas + DVD), and the video quality alone is unbeatable. My Jaw dropped on my lap when I saw the price, but the test proves that Sony Vegas is the most professional video editor today, without the professional price tag. Vegas is worth...well it's priceless! Sony has hit gold. It will be a long time before Vegas goes out of style. Give it 20 years. It's that good.
