'Nothing good of consequence is ever accomplished without exertion.' So, I use Vegas for clip editing and effects and then put clips into Corel for quick rendering and flexibility. It takes a steep learning curve but, it is well worth the effort. It blows Corel away, to mention only these few things of which there are more. Vegas is extremely powerful in motion video, color correction, chroma key, and Pan/Zoom. Now that I mentioned the bad, here is the good. So, rendering and fexibility of movement are Vegas shortfalls to me. Apparently, Vegas lovers are not bothered by this fact. I hate to think how long my European Trip Video, of over two hours, would have taken-over night to be sure. A one hour video, with many effects, can take over five hours to render in Vegas. The author of '101 Tips, Tricks and Techniques,' Bill Myers substantiated what I found out through experience. You must edit in small packets.Īlso, in rendering, I was in for a big surprise-few talk about this. When you only have a timeline (Vegas,) it's a bitch to locate and move around efficiently with 50 to 60 clips or more. Moving around with a storyboard editor, in Corel, is a simple matter. Things that are easily done in Corel are more envolved in Vegas. The level of complexity between the two is enormous. Then, one day I downloaded Vegas Movie Studio 11 Platinum and tried it out.
I use Corel Videostudio PRO X5 for my video editing.
