At the 25$US level, get Vegas Pro 15 Edit, DVD Architect, Vegas Movie Studio, SoundForge Audio Studio 12, and more.Įdit: Here are a couple of threads on the same topic:

There is a HumbleBundle deal on for Vegas presently that is hard to beat. You mention 'regardless of price' but presently, I would say that it's a no brainer. After a couple of years, maybe look at stepping up. It takes a lot of work just to get familiar with these. The question is, what all would the new user expect to do with the program?įor a new user who has never edited video before, I would suggest Vegas Movie Studio or Movie Edit Pro Plus or Premium. Being used to VPX, I have trouble getting my head around Vegas (it not as simple as users claim). I use VPX and Magix Movie Edit Pro Premium but have Vegas Pro 15. Even then, you won't see many of the lesser known features of each. Unfortunately, there is no comparison list, so you have to go through the details of each on the Magix site. They each have things that the other doesn't do or does better. Video Pro X (VPX) is not exactly the equivalent of Vegas Pro. You're asking on the Vegas forum, so you're bound to get biased replies.
