I use Vegas for audio. I want to use it for some video stuff. Weddings and such. What do I need for Video. Video cards and stuff. Just trying to get it started.

A Firewire card and Adobe Premiere. An large external harddrive.
Umm, he already has Vegas, he doesn't need another prog. Everything else I agree with.
 
a question

Any suggestions on a firewire card? I was gonna pick up an external HD anyway...
 
I didn't know Vegas was a vid-editor, My bad.

Any of the newer ones.

as long as you've got the firewire output on the camera (I should hope so if you're doing weddings)... I'm too poor for that :( One might wonder how I'm certified in all this stuff... Ha I didn't know people would use Vegas only for audio, looks like we're all a bit confused. As for firewire card, a firewire card is a firewire card, just get a fast one. Expect to spend forever and a day rendering tho, especially if you're computer is pretty much anything but top of the line. (Unless you get a realtime system, but then you'd have to spend another $600 or so)

Vegas was once only an audio multitracker.
Ding ding ding! That is correct! That was back when it first came out and was called Vegas Pro.
 
Wow! I didn't know that...and I use the dang program.....

Yep! That's when I ran into it.
 
Do you think I should get the latest version..or chuck it and go to Pro tools? I'm gonna get a new computer soon and I'm not sure it's worth going the distance. I run a budget studio for local bands...

I use Vegas 5 and I've recorded a few bands with it. It has worked flawlessly and the bands have been really pleased with the sound (of course that has more to do with my front-end than the prog).

If you're used to Vegas I say stick with it. Pro Tools has a much different feel and frankly is not as user-friendly as Vegas.
