That's one of the nice things about PPro, you get a little bit of both worlds all wrapped into one. PPro used to be like FCP, but it's much better nowadays about reading all kinds of video file types and allowing you to throw them directly onto the timeline. Thus the extra prep work to get the video onto the timeline. FCP makes it very inconvenient to drag and drop video files straight from the hard disk, it has a lot of 'requirements' about how it prefers it's video to be formatted etc. Though if you want, 3 point editing in Vegas, it can be done very nicely using the Trimmer. It's just one of those odd quirks where that's the way it's 'generally done' in those NLEs. PPro and FCP users are more likely to use 3 point editing, where you load up a clip, set the I/O points and then add it to the timeline. In the Vegas world, this is one of the most common methods of editing. It's just that in Vegas, it's always been very convenient to drag and drop the clips directly from the hard disk onto the timeline, and then adjust your end points, by dragging. Once a clip is on the timeline, it works the same in Vegas, PPro, and for that matter FCP - drag the ends of the clip to shorten or lengthen it. IS this how you would do it in premiere ?Īlso whats the reason all the tutorials suggest setting in and out points on the clips before entering them on the timeline ? Doesnt that just restrict you from dragging out the edges of the clip if you need more of the scene during a fade ? Once they are all in sync its easy for me to just scan the other tracks at the same point on the timeline and drag them up to the top track. I treat this track as the master and i drag clips to it after previewing them on the lower tracks.

In Vegas i usually just load all my clips on tracks and then add a video track above them. Im wondering whats the best way to do this in Premiere ? I notcied the multicam option only supports up to 4 cameras. In vegas you can slide it without snapping at all and get it exactly positioned how you want it next to the video.Īlso i usually edit 4 to 6 cameras over mixed audio.

Is it possible to drag or slide audio tracks at smaller resolution than by each video frame ? I do multicamera editing of live music and i find the audio sync isnt tight enough when you just drag it frame by frame.

I am particularly interested in the red giant stuff but vegas really only has looks and id like to maybe get colorista. The only reason i am contemplating this is because i have notcied a lot less support for plugins on vegas compared to adobe. I have been looking at the CS4 demo and wondering whether i should switch from Vegas.
