Okay, I've been using Premiere for about 2.5 years and have had no problems. But I was debating whether I should switch to Vegas. What do you fellow editors think?

I also know this is a preference question, but I want your opinions.

Why switch if you having been using it for that long? After using it it for that amount of time you must have some skill with it, converting now would be stupid.

I have both but I'd rather learn premiere a little better.maybe get after effects if you havent done so already and your set.

I hear Premiere is very professional. I have it but cant use it for shit. But I should think Premiere will get you further in life.

if your good at premeire, don't go to vegas. It has a few redicules limits.

If you want something faster and a bit easier but still powerful though, you could try vegas.

I currently don't have footage online for public view. I'm currently editing a short that I'll post when I'm finished. Just got to finish cutting, a little frame-by-frame work, and musical score.

Stick with what you know. You can only get better at what you do.

Effects and filters can only take you so far before you need to be able to just "feel" the editing, and once you can edit fluidly like that you can do it with any tool.

As far as power goes, Vegas is the lesser tool of the two. It's not a weakness, though -- it's designed to be a lesser tool. It's not meant for the kinds of tasks Premiere Pro is suited for.

Stick with Premiere, you must of mastered it over the years, Premiere and Vegas are nearly equal programmes, so it wouldnt make a difference if you switch, would just waste time to learn Vegas
