ABSTRACT

Vegas Pro and Vegas Movie Studio are both applications that can satisfy the needs of a professional video editor in a broadcast, religious, educational, or hobbyist environment. With this in mind, different needs may call for different approaches to setting up the editing system and editing environment. Dual-monitor setups are highly desired in a professional environment; not only do they allow for more application viewing space, they also allow for easier multitasking. The greater real estate offered with dual monitors also allows for full-screen preview of the editing project while viewing the Vegas Timeline. A high-end audio card will call for higher-end speakers/amplification, so bear in mind that moving to a professional-grade audio card will bring additional costs. The user preferences are a great place to start in setting up Vegas and Vegas Movie Studio for the best possible experience.
