Due to [what I believe to be] a decline in software stability and lack of customer support I will be using Adobe Creative Cloud moving forward. I urge others to look at other options and companies that invest in customer support.

VEGAS Pro beats them all due to simplicity and overall usefulness. It is a true nonlinear editor and not just one with add-ons to protect the faults and weaknesses of the product. VEGAS Pro gets it done and takes your creativity to a higher level. The rest just copy each other (e.g., Premier was a copy of Final Cut and the rest followed suit). VEGAS Pro is an original product that came from the sound world and added video in a perfect blend of video and sound.

I had Adobe Premiere but I don't like having to subscribe. VEGAS Pro is a one-time purchase which was a better economical and financial decision for me. My friends that are editors didn't like when Apple changed Final Cut so I did not elect to use it when I had the chance to. I believe it is just as good as other platforms just not as high profile.

When we used Adobe Premiere Pro, we found that it was much more limited in terms of the types of source formats it would accept. It also had more trouble mixing and matching different formats on the same timeline. It also crashed more frequently that we liked. Other products we have tried seemed decent, but since we already had a large investment in time spent learning all the ins and outs of Vegas Pro, we found that it wasn't worthwhile trying to learn different software. Since Vegas Pro was doing what we needed to do in an efficient, reliable manner, it was just too hard to justify starting over from scratch with something different.

Vegas Pro is much easier than Adobe Premiere and system requirements of Adobe Premiere are higher than Vegas Pro. Also, the render speed of Vegas Pro is higher than Adobe Premiere. The learning curve of Adobe premiere is very long.

First of all, VEGAS Pro is absolutely and by far easier to use with no doubts about it. I didn't need one class to start using VEGAS Pro while these other options require far more training and research. It's a Windows-based program first and so, unlike these other choices, uses typical Windows conventions with lots of right-click options and the kind of simplicity you would see in a Microsoft product.

We love Sound Forge and Acid. They are sister programs that integrate well into the Magixx/Vegas family. Seamless transitions among products.

Premiere was difficult to master and not as stable as Vegas Pro.

  • VEGAS Pro has more features than iMovie but is nowhere near as complex (or robust, for better or worse) as Adobe Premiere Pro. It is also not as robust as the Avid video editing suite, including Avid Media Composer. However, I do not have much familiarity with that product line besides seeing them in use.
  • In addition to being a software developer, I enjoy making films both for YouTube and elsewhere, as well as composing film soundtracks. I have several friends who are filmmakers, and it seems Adobe Premiere Pro is more common for feature-length films, as is the Avid suite. Still, having tried Adobe Premiere Pro, I much prefer VEGAS Pro. Partly this is because I have so much familiarity with MAGIX Sound Forge (formerly Sony, and then Sonic Foundry before that), as I have been using Sound Forge for nearly 20 years, since my days going to college for audio engineering. I am familiar with the hotkeys and user interface, and it is effortless for me to edit and export a video quickly. So, I would say the ease of use and speed are the main boons, to me.

VEGAS Pro is easier to use than any other video software I have experienced. The end result does not look any different than something made in another (likely more expensive) software. The encoding and export options make for high-quality outputs that are simple to share with others via YouTube or another platform.
