Hi,
I am new to video and HD. I have a xh-a1 and am running with Premiere Pro 2.
It seems that most PP2 users also purchase Cineform Aspect HD to increase the performance.
PP2 also seems to have a big problem rendering content down to DVD using the included Adobe Media Encoder. This means outputting and then running through programs such as Virtual Dub and TMPGEnc. This makes for a complicated and SLOW workflow. The cost of the add ons is also about $600, or the total cost of the Vegas Production suite + DVD.
My questions are...
1) Can Vegas run without plugins such as Aspect HD, or does it benefit in the same way as PP2?
2) Does Vegas have good quality tools/codecs etc to handle downsizing and encoding from HDV to DVD?
3) Fine to run this program with a 1080i Canon XH-A1 - Pal?
As I am just starting to use PP2 and see that I may have to spend even more $s to make it work, I'm wondering if I should just spring for the Vegas and hopefully one stop editing.
Thanks for any input.
