Indeed. With Pinnacle Studio 7, I swear I was saving the project after every single thing I did. It was so unstable, it was like a ticking time bomb just waiting for it to crash.

Ahhh, yess....

Remember Vegas AUDIO??? That's how long ago. Was there anything before??? LOL!! I bought online, and here's my receipt to prove it:

You were rockin' it old school, Kev.

What was your First Vegas?
Vegas Movie Studio 6 up thru Platinum 9

Where did you buy it from?
CompUSA

What were your using previously?
Ulead Video Studio (Piece of junk kept crashing and hanging)

Upgraded to Pro 9 when it came out thinking that would be a good step up, was one of the most painful upgrades of my life. Had to revert back to Platinum 9 until Vegas Pro 9c.

Upgraded Vegas 10a, which is much better and stable out of the box than Vegas Pro 9 was.

Does Video Factory 2.0 count?
Around 2001 from Sonic Foundry
Annual support was $99 USD
I consider it the basis for all Vegas Video products.

Required a 400 mHz processor and 128 MB of Ram.

Accepted formats: DV camera via 1394 JPG, GIF, MP3, MPEP 1, 2, PSD, QT, AVI..............you know all the big ones.

Render to MPEG VCD. print to DV

Vegas 5

Newtek Video Toaster 2 VT-Edit

It was like breaking down the walls for my creativity to flourish. Everything was so fast and easy comparatively.

If I recall correctly...

Vegas 1.0 was a demo program given away free because the product was too minimal to be considered saleable. Vegas was an audio program, and there was a hip Elvis sound bite based upon the song "All Shook Up" on the Sonic Foundry web site.

Vegas was a move by Sonic Foundry toward multi-track editing which was not available in their highly regarded Sound Forge application. Other audio programs at the time included Cool Edit (which was free) and CakeWalk. Sound Forge was limited to opening windows containing only a single stereo track and Vegas brought forth what some other programs started doing at that time which was multi-track mixing!

I believe Vegas 1.0 did contain a video window, but it was only for convenience to view any video accompanying the sound to be edited--similar to Sound Forge.

Vegas 1.0 became Vegas Audio 2.0 and Vegas Video 2.0 -- two separate programs! Both were nearly identical, but Vegas Video included the brand new TRANSITIONS tab! Transitions included: Additive Disolve, Barndoor, Clock Wipe, Cross Effect, Iris, Linear Wipe, Page Peel (yes!), Page Roll, Push, Slide, Spiral, Split, Squeeze, Swap, and Zoom. No text and no media generators. Vegas 2.0 shipped with Real Media 8 plug-in.

Vegas Audio was dropped (I believe) with Vegas Video 3.0. The next version was simply plain Vegas 4.0 (just like 1.0, but now a full-blown video program instead of the audio program originally envisioned).

I could be completely wrong, but I have Vegas Audio 2.0 installed on my machine right now, and that's the way I remember it.

After doing an audio tape transfer to CD for a friend, he gave me a demo of Vegas 1.0 to try. I vaguely remember it, but I did install it and discovered that I had little use for it at the time.

My first Vegas was version 4.0 which I bought bundled with a Canopus capture card. (I think that corporate relationship dissolved soon after that product shipped).

Prior to buying Vegas, I was using Pinnacle 7 which was less than $100 with a capture card. My wife encouraged me to spend three times as much to buy a real editor to reduce the shouting and foul language around the house.

Vegas 3 purchased directly from Sonic Foundry in February 2002 for $250
I was using Pinnacle Studio 7 before switching

Video Factory 1.
Sonic Foundry's website.
You know, whatever it was was so awful i had only used it for about an hour before i switched to Video Factory and then deleted it. I can't remember what it was.

*I was using Pinnacle Studio 7 before switching*

Aside from it crashing ALL the time, it had a really clean GUI and a kick-ass titler. I missed TitleDeko when I moved to Vegas.
