Video, video, video… everyone is making movies these days and there are plenty of choices when it comes to video software. This is especially true in the consumer software market. However, the professional video software category is still lead by a chosen few, one of which is Sony Vegas Pro. With each new version, Vegas Pro has stepped closer and closer to being a full-fledged video production application providing the same high-end features as its competitors. Vegas Pro 7 came close, but Vegas Pro 8 adds features that have been needed for quite some time.
There is no doubt that Vegas Pro 8 is a significant upgrade, especially for those needing multicamera support and wanting higher-quality video rendering. In addition, this version is the only reliable way to run Vegas on the Windows Vista platform. The ProType Titler is a nice addition and the new mixing console adds significant features and flexibility to the already powerful audio tools. Support for additional video formats including Blu-ray bring Vegas in line with the competition. While I did mention some aspects of the software that I would like to see improved, there are no shortcomings that would keep me from recommending Vegas Pro 8 to both newcomers and upgraders. Vegas Pro has always provided a level of sophistication combined with an ease-of-use factor that has been a step ahead of most other video applications. Version 8 adds even more professional-level features without compromising the easy workflow.
