But, based on the pricing alone, I think EricLNZ is right and Vegas Pro ($349) is the closest alternative to Video Pro X ($399). Since they will be using it professionally, I think suggesting to start with a cheaper or a consumer based NLE like Fastcut Plus, Movie Edit Pro or even Vegas Movie Studio is not a good idea.Īlso, I am not talking here about extras like bundled software and plugins, I am talking mainly about the core NLE, that is why I did not initially mention Vegas Pro, Vegas 365 or Vegas Pro Suite. My question is for newcomers who want to start with one NLE and keep using it until they master it with no intention to switch to another NLE. I have been a Vegas Pro user since its first version so obviously I prefer it over all other NLE because I am already familiar with it and find it very easy to use.

At the 25$US level, get Vegas Pro 15 Edit, DVD Architect, Vegas Movie Studio, SoundForge Audio Studio 12, and more.Įdit: Here are a couple of threads on the same topic: There is a HumbleBundle deal on for Vegas presently that is hard to beat. You mention 'regardless of price' but presently, I would say that it's a no brainer. After a couple of years, maybe look at stepping up. It takes a lot of work just to get familiar with these. The question is, what all would the new user expect to do with the program?įor a new user who has never edited video before, I would suggest Vegas Movie Studio or Movie Edit Pro Plus or Premium. Being used to VPX, I have trouble getting my head around Vegas (it not as simple as users claim). I use VPX and Magix Movie Edit Pro Premium but have Vegas Pro 15. Even then, you won't see many of the lesser known features of each. Unfortunately, there is no comparison list, so you have to go through the details of each on the Magix site. They each have things that the other doesn't do or does better. Video Pro X (VPX) is not exactly the equivalent of Vegas Pro. You're asking on the Vegas forum, so you're bound to get biased replies.
