Can Vegas do multi angle editing like FCP?
 

Sorry, newby question before I shell out $$$ for Vegas; I'm using FCP, but need to edit some 24P/30P projects shot on my V1U and only Vegas currently does this.
FCP provides the ability to link clips together as a multi-clip, e.g. different angles of the same event taken at the same time. In FCP, I can select which clip will be seen by clicking on it. Does Vegas have a similar facility?
Thanks
Greg

Absolutely. You can either do it manually (Vol 1 #9 of my newsletter explains multiple ways) or you can use a third party multi-cam tool. Several such tools exist including Excalibur, Ultimate S, and Infiniticam.

To see a video on how to do multi-cam using Excalibur, look at http://www.jetdv.com/excalibur

24p on FCP
 

I'm not sure what version you have, but I do 24p editing on FCP aall the time. And you can also do 30p, I've just never needed to, but you can. I have 5.1hd
