EDIUS is well suited for: -News production -Multi-camera productions -Documentaries -General purpose television productions -Corporate videos, YouTube videos etc. EDIUS is less appropriate for: -Cinematography -Special Effects -Commercials production

Many of my friends from other companies have asked me for recommendations for some video editing software, and my recommendation has always been VEGAS Pro. Currently, there are many platforms that offer video editing with basic functions but that help to have an editing a unprofessional and without complexity of use, however, VEGAS Pro despite being a difficult software to use, has much more professional functions than any other platform today, its ability to add motion trackers, make image edits, make Simultaneous audio edits is awesome. The only problem that is really noticeable to me and my colleagues who use VEGAS Pro in my work area, is the rendering issue, there are many programs with less time rendering, however, the reason why we still consider that VEGAS Pro is the best option, it is because it offers much more professional editing functions, of better quality. Rendering is an issue that can be fixed by having a computer with extremely good characteristics, so that you can render the video in less time and that it does not affect the consumption of the RAM card, but in general, rendering is a problem for a large number of users. I recommend VEGAS Pro for those who own computers with features suitable for long-term rendering, with a good video card that supports the rendering quality.

• It's the perfect editing software for news programs with easy voice overs and fast editing and rendering time.
• Very light program runs almost on any PC! It can handle almost all today's available codecs and video formats along with any kind of graphics, sounds, and other media.
• A real multimedia editor!
• Fastest software camera stabilization I have seen so far with excellent results!
• Fastest and most convenient multi-camera production editing ever!

• It is easy to learn with patience.
• They are constantly upgrading the platform to keep up with higher end NLE systems.
• It functions (to me) better when dual monitors are used, but a single screen is good if you don't mind moving the timeline functionality around.

• I would like to see some improvement with keys effects, and specifically Chroma Keys and Masks.
• Adjustment layers like Adobe Premiere would be a nice feature too.
• EDIUS of course has adjustment layers as filters, but it would be most convenient to have separate adjustment layers on the timeline.

• Once in a rare while, the program will crash. Hoping an update will resolve this.
• I'd love to see more professional titling built into the next version.
• Also would like to see more modern transitions.
• Would love to see an integration of an option to render video to YouTube's current video codec.

The best and easiest editor I have ever used. I have used everything as an Emmy-Award-winning news journalist, and this program has always done what I needed it to do. Nothing less than the best out there and can get the job done.

Because Vegas Pro is widely used software, the user interface is similar to smartphone editing tools. That is why learning time is very short in Vegas Pro. Whenever you have a question YouTube is your best support assistant. You don't need to contact anyone.

Due to [what I believe to be] a decline in software stability and lack of customer support I will be using Adobe Creative Cloud moving forward. I urge others to look at other options and companies that invest in customer support.

• It's value for money index is excellent.
• We received back our investment more or less after couple of weeks of using that internally and stopped outsourcing editing.
