DVL-Digest 589 - Postings: Index Sonic Foundry's VEGAS VIDEO. Sonic Foundry's VEGAS VIDEO. - Adam Wilt All previews are in real-time. It previews, albeit not at full res or full frame rate (it drops frames in the 320x240 preview window as necessary), without an explicit rendering beforehand, which is handy. After you drop some clips on the timeline, simply overlapping them to get the default transition (!), you can drag out a highlighted area and it will loop in playback so you can see what you've wrought. A very fast way to work, indeed. > I think Vegas Video is available in a demo version online. It is. If you like it, you can buy it on the 'net or by phone, type in a serial #, and be good to go. > Would it be OK to try it with the Matrox DTV or is there a possibility > of screwing up my system in a major way? There is *always* the possibility of screwing up your system in a major way, i.e., by turning it on and trying to use it! :-) But Vegas has a very non-invasive installation; I put it on an EditDV system, a Media100 iFinish system, and on a system running an Osprey Windows Media Encoder, and it happily co-exists with them all. Vegas Video doesn't have hooks deep into hardware the way most "traditional" NLEs do, and even the capture application interacts with an OHCI 1394 card through the OS, not directly.
