Pt 5 International Harvester IHC 300 Utility Repair

Описание: Cut part 4 into two segments, both using the Sony Vegas HD 11 Editor. While I do like the super-fast capabilities of the timeline editing, you can lose that time once you get to the Tilte edits. Again, the options abound in Titling, but having the idea in your head as to what you want to see and how to make it do it take a great deal of time. One must also beware the double-clicks, as you don't know what will happen or how to reverse the operation. Not that I can't figure it out, I just don't have the time.

Even though you can adjust almost every aspect of Titling, there is no provision for any effects to the text other than bold, italic and color. No border, drop shadow or 3-d effects are present. There are also several font choices that are useless, as they only display squares or symbols.

Video overlay is totally unclear, so I just did a drag and drop into another track. Seems to have worked, but there is nothing in the help files (under the words that I searched for) in order to find overlay info.

The number of Transitions is disappointingly low, although you can adjust almost every parameter or each transition. Problem there is that they show you 5 transition efects under one category, and four of them are merely a parameter change of the one, which you could have done yourself. In reality, there are far less "base" Transitions than the already low number of styles available. This could just be a Trial Version issue, with a much larger library of transitions in the paid version, but I've found nothing on the Sony site to indicate anything of the sort.

I'm sure that with more time and the paid version, I'd like Sony Vegas even more, but I need something that doesn't required 16 hours to edit a 30 minute video. As noted, it's super-fast in the timeline edit (after the learning curve) and the other big plus is the stability of the program on bare-bones hardware. I made a few hundred edits and it only glitched on me a couple times. Never hung, froze or crashed. Just a little blip for a second or two and went back to normal. You can adjust rendering for the preview screen, which I did not. In it's default state, the video gets choppy during the Titleing portion. I'm sure that changing the rendering options for the preview would take care of that, but we're back to that "time" thing again.

Pluses: Super-fast timeline editing. Very stable "crashless" operation. Abundant options for edits.
Drawbacks: No "mix on the fly" audio. Limited default transitions. Double-click operations that can't be undone without doing a major search through the help index. Very limited text editor.
