Vegas 8 is a powerful and intuitive software for anyone wanting to edit video, beginner or professional. Packed with a high-quality DVD authoring program, as well as an AC-3 surround-sound encoder, the reviewer states that it’s almost too good to be true. The reviewer tested Vegas 8 on a Dell XPS system with a 3.0GHz Dual Pentium processor. From capturing the video to starting to edit it, Vegas 8 is very easy to use. Alongside the favorite features are new ones such as the multicam support. Another addition is the ability of Vegas 8 to burn to a Blu-ray Disc directly from the timeline. Audio editing also becomes possible in Vegas as it comes equipped with enough audio tools to also pass as a multi-track audio editor. Finally, as the reviewer noted, Sony Vegas 8 operates seamlessly without guesswork. It is a powerful, stable program that provides everything a video editor would want and need, from beginner to pro.
