 Certainly for this immediate point in time, it's very difficult not to see Vegas 9 as, frankly, the most simply effective RED editing solution currently on the market for small to moderate sized projects. Fast, efficient, flexible and totally unified into a single piece of software that costs less than $1000. Time will tell if Vegas handles longer projects just as well but if ever there was a time for FCP, Avid and Premiere editors and indy filmmakers to sit up and take notice of Vegas, it's now

 I spent four days at NAB last month, and this month I’ll describe what I learned in the key areas that I follow. In the first installment, I’ll describe camcorders and the editing market; in the second batch encoding, disc reproduction, and that all-important “other” category.

Of the various NLEs available as software-only products, I feel that Avid Media Composer has the best built-in motion graphics and compositing tools. No need to bounce your tracks to another app, like After Effects or Motion, but if you want more, there’s AvidFX. It’s essentially an OEM version of Boris Red that runs from within the Media Composer interface. The best part of staying inside the application is that you don’t have to waste a lot of effort keeping track of additional project types

 Anyone who reads my articles knows that I like plug-ins. Let me rephrase that. I LOVE plug-ins, as they make my day to day editing life so much easier. One of the premiere plug-in designers in the business today is BorisFX, and I had a chance to ask their president Boris Yamnitsky some questions about their current products, and what we can expect from this plug-in giant in 2009.
