Vegas - hobby/amateur or work/buisness?
So I am curious...
I think all members here, are Vegas user? So, how do you work with Vegas, personal videoediting or professional videoediting, and if pro, what exactly do you work with? |

I'll start off, Kim. I shoot weddings, promotional videos, and modeling portfolios. I shoot about 35 weddings a year, and am looking to increase my corporate work this year. For June I have six weddings. This time of year I usually have at least 4-6 weddings waiting to be edited. I'm very small, but I stay busy.

I think you'll find it's BOTH. Many people do use it for hobby/personal use. However, it's also used on many professional projects as well.

For me, it's 10% personal and 90% work (split up between student projects and various videos for the college I work for).

For me, Vegas is for personal use only. I tested it out first time with Vegas 6...
Vegas are like an hobby for me. I only produce homevideos... I use my DSLR Camera Nikon D40X, combined with my Panasonic DMC FZ-7, a digitalcamera with video function =/ .... My projects content is often photos with mixed videos. I will buy a real HD videocamera soon... Sony Vegas is my way to create expressions... My goal is to learn "how to" everything what filming is about! |

99.9% work. The other 0.1% is for experimenting.
I primarily produce corporate videos for IT companies/departments, the very occasional music video and more recently some work for charities and the education sector. I guess on average I reel out about 25 projects a year, from 2 minute promotional spots to 20 minute docu-edu-promo kinda things! I don't really use Vegas for personal projects any more as I am more into still photgraphy these days. |

100% for pay. Weddings (40 to 50 per year), seminars, training vids, anything that pays the right money.
Vegas has been my goto editing software since late version 2. Don |

95% professional. Our little production company, Daisy 3 Pictures, has produced two feature films, a few music videos, some corporate work and the occasional fun experiments with it. Check out the site for our latest feature - all edited, composited and color corrected in Vegas 8 Pro:

All Biz. Used Vegas 7 for the first ever HD off road racing lifestyle series on Cox Cable. Have been shooting 3 one hour shows this year for Fall release on America One Sports, all on Vegas 8. Three National and one International DVD releases on DVDA 4 and 4.5. Total commitment to Vegas, hope they keep up with us. Not pleased with twitchy V8 bugs in the 11th hour before deadline...

I see their is a lot users here who, uses Sony Vegas for work...
I though there where more users who uses this application for family/home videos. I thought Avid was the application for the "The Pro user". Here in Sweden the Swedish government which owns channel 1 (SVT1) and channel 2 (SVT2), uses Avid for their work. Isn't Avid the most known application for big video production? I though Sony Vegas, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, was more for the freelancer or the hobby-user... For you who using Vegas in the line of work, is it your fulltime job/fulltime income or is it a job aside your regular? |
