Vegas 9 was one of my highlights of NAB. I was really impressed witht he direction Sony is taking it. Then I saw the Production Assistant software - WOW! They've taken some really mundane tasks, automated them and integrated it into Vegas. I was blown away by how this can be used to dramatically increase prodcutivity and give lightning fdast turn around times for repetitive projects.

So what did we do? We put together some fantastic bundles that include Vegas 9 pro and the Production Assistant! Videoguys' NEW! Sony Vegas Pro 9 (http://www.webvideoguys.com/sony-may09.html)

Hi Gary,

As someone who has tried most NLEs, how is the new current Vegas compared to Adobe Premiere CS4?

(We currently run Adobe CS2, and are thinking of upgrading to CS4 in the very near future. We hardly use After Effects, but use the other programs heavily, like Encore, Photoshop, and Illustrator. So we definitely like Adobe's program integration.)

Best,

I had a nice demo of Vegas 9 at NAB. Haven't gotten a copy to play with yet. I was very impressed. I like the new look and feel, and I LOVE some of the new features.

The advantage of the Adobe suite is the iteraction between the various apps. the more you use the higher the value of the bundle and the more productivity you get from dynamic linking.

As for Vegas, nothing comes close to delivering this kind of features and performance for the money.

Gary

Thanks Gary! I might have to download a trial version of the new current Vegas and take it out for a spin :)

Best,

Jeff, remember that the release day is tentatively scheduled for Monday May 11.

Thanks for the info Mike. Will be on the lookout for the release.

Best,

You can stop looking... it's out NOW! :-)

Downloads are available now from the Sony site, so get your upgrades today.

Boxed goods should be in our warehouse later this week.
