Hi Dan, it's been a very long time. Nice to see you are doing UW video, and still involved with diving.
I have been using Vegas for a long time. I left with Version 9 and moved to Avid.
I just want to be clear about something. FCP, when used with ProRes, will be MORE than adequate for working with 1080p. Countless feature films have been edited that way. Vegas has offered a 64 bit version since Version 8. And while it works well, there are some things that are missing that you may want, because while the program may be 64 bit, not all the underlying parts are.
Premiere CS5 is a fine program. Vegas is nice too. And so is Avid. I've found Avid to be a LOT less troublesome than Vegas for big projects, but Vegas is much simpler.
FC Express, FCP, Avid, Premiere, and Vegas 10 will all do the job ultimately. They just all require slightly different workflows to do that job.
Hi Perrone,
Good to talk to you again!
I am going to stick with the PC....I will buy the new Vegas 10. It would be nice if the sale would include both 32 bit and 64 bit versions, as I am running the trial now, and it runs well..but I want to get a 64 bit system that can be more effective...And my Dell has been flaky since I got it 3 years ago.
Looks like I will be working on a new DIR video....aimed at all the things fundies will do for a recreational diver in real life....this is less about showing drills (we will do this a little) and more about showing the things divers should be able to do when they want to, in the situations where they occur. Top side will be shot with a Sony pd170 mini dv ( will have to be upsampled to 1080p) and u/w will be part Contour 1080p and part Canon 5D Mark 2 in Sea and Sea with 17 to 40 lens for most.
