Considered Both Products	Adobe Christian Oquendo Personal Trainer at Adrenalous Fitness (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe Premiere Pro Premiere Pro excels in organization, productivity, and design compared to Sony Vegas, which was the software I previously used to create video content. I am now able to render videos faster, edit, and preview unfinished projects quickly and efficiently. I had little to no … Incentivized Helpful? Raphael Sanguinete Sócio-fundador e Produtor Executivo at Rebuliço (Entertainment, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe Premiere Pro Adobe Premiere Pro, for me, is the one with better workflow and easier to learn user interface. One of the reasons for that, is that it takes the same UI/UX path of other Adobe tools that we already use, so the mastery of using it is integrated with the mastery of using these … Incentivized Helpful?	MAGIX Software Richard Hogan Engineering Technician in Information Technology at Hogan's Systems Consulting, LLC (Information Technology & Services, 1-10 employees) Chose VEGAS Pro When we used Adobe Premiere Pro, we found that it was much more limited in terms of the types of source formats it would accept. It also had more trouble mixing and matching different formats on the same timeline. It also crashed more frequently that we liked. Other products … Incentivized Helpful? Bob Heazlit A/V Content Producer at Me (Broadcast Media, 1-10 employees) Chose VEGAS Pro Due to [what I believe to be] a decline in software stability and lack of customer support I will be using Adobe Creative Cloud moving forward. I urge others to look at other options and companies that invest in customer support. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose VEGAS Pro Not as many options, but does what I need it to at a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the complexity Incentivized Helpful? Cedric Allen Founder/Principle(Videographer) at Argo Productions, LLC (Non-profit Organization Management, 1-10 employees) Chose VEGAS Pro VEGAS Pro beats them all due to simplicity and overall usefulness. It is a true nonlinear editor and not just one with add-ons to protect the faults and weaknesses of the product. VEGAS Pro gets it done and takes your creativity to a higher level. The rest just copy each other … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose VEGAS Pro Vegas Pro is much easier than Adobe Premiere and system requirements of Adobe Premiere are higher than Vegas Pro. Also, the render speed of Vegas Pro is higher than Adobe Premiere. The learning curve of Adobe premiere is very long. Incentivized Helpful? Joseph Benton E-Learning and Instructional Designer in Human Resources at Beachhead Communications (Education Management, 1-10 employees) Chose VEGAS Pro First of all, VEGAS Pro is absolutely and by far easier to use with no doubts about it. I didn't need one class to start using VEGAS Pro while these other options require far more training and research. It's a Windows-based program first and so, unlike these other choices, uses … Incentivized Helpful? Chuck Graudins Producer in Social Media at Indie Originals (Broadcast Media, 11-50 employees) Chose VEGAS Pro We love Sound Forge and Acid. They are sister programs that integrate well into the Magixx/Vegas family. Seamless transitions among products. Premiere was difficult to master and not as stable as Vegas Pro. Incentivized Helpful? Jonah Dempcy Web & Mobile Developer in Engineering at Bluefire Productions (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose VEGAS Pro VEGAS Pro has more features than iMovie but is nowhere near as complex (or robust, for better or worse) as Adobe Premiere Pro. It is also not as robust as the Avid video editing suite, including Avid Media Composer. However, I do not have much familiarity with that product line … Incentivized Helpful?
