Our 3rd Same Day Edit with Panasonic's HMC 154 at DVinfo.net

I must say the more I use Sony Vegas Pro ver 8.0c the more I like it , It is a bit tricky getting used to shortcuts and certain editing functionality compared to the more traditional NLE's, but the more I use it the more I love it!

The 'forced' marriage between Panasonic HMC 154 AVCHD footage and Sony's Vegas Pro V8.0c software is pann(y)ing (mind the pun) out to be a much longer term relationship, then previously anticipated!

Enjoy!.... wedding dvd’s

Looks good Petrus. Did you edit the SDE on a laptop? If so what specs is it? Interested to know how well or how the struggle was editing the sde on a laptop if that's what you used. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the compliment Monday,
For this SDE I was fortunate that the venue is 2min away from our editing studio so I did it on windows PC (XP service pack 3) Core 2Quad 2.66Gig 4gig Ram Nvidia 9800 GT 512Mb ram)

We do have a traveling PC with above specs except OS is Vista ultimate 64 bit and have 1333 Mhz 8gig ram, Installed Vegas Pro 8.1 64bit will soon be used for another SDE and give some feedback as to the expierance and ease of editing.

Regards Petrus

Not at the moment, we have invested in a macbook pro recently but its is our peak wedding season here in South Africa at the moment, and the apple is on ice and will be experimented with and figured out during our off season (winter) starting end of May.
