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.

Me?

5% personal,
95% business (news work mostly)

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!

Edward Troxel, of course...
It's like a computer - you could play games on it, and also work on it...

I'am aware of that, I wanted to know you guys better only...

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.

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:

Great trailer Mark. Really enjoyed that!

Thank you Ian!

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 do about 75% business.

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?
