My apologies if there is a better place to post "newbie" questions, but this forum doesn't appear to have any sub-categories or a tree structure as such... so, here goes:
I just purchased V5+DVD and went to my first 'Documentary Filmmaking' class last night, and although I should know better, I caught myself doubting my Vegas purchase in favor of the fashionable response everyone in the class gave stating that, "Final Cut Pro is THE INDUSTRY STANDARD". Indeed, I'm not interested in a lengthy debate about details, but what I'm looking for is some reassurance that if I do actually make it big with any project I work on in Vegas, and I need to export or collaborate with someone using the "INDUSTRY STANDARD" FCP, that I haven't backed myself into any kind of a proprietary corner with Vegas....
I already use ACID Pro for audio I don't worry about all the "Industry Standard" compatibility issues with Logic, but I had a moment of doubt last night and was looking for some reassurance.
When asked why I chose Vegas, I told them that I already use ACID PRO, and that I believe Sony will continue to support and push Vegas into the forefront of digital-film/NLE video editing, and it will soon be regarded in all circles as a top contender NLE platform.
I've read a number of credible and reasonably objective articles and discussions about all of the NLE platforms, and most people seem in agreement that all have their strengths and weaknesses, but what I've yet to hear is any significant/technical claim as to why Vegas isn't often discussed in the same reviews or articles that FCP and Avid are.
Sorry for the longwinded post, and I appreciate the feedback.
*Oh, and the other reason I told them I supported Vegas was because the Sony ACID/Vegas forums are really professional, helpful, and honest.
