30 day free trial to Adobe creative cloud. 2 years later I am still using it. Complicated, but amazing results!

Nice to hear DHoude.

Have been looking at Adobe myself but never steped that way, yet.
I think vegas was a bit complicated in the begining but its a great program.

I own Vegas and Avid Studio also. You can easily get good results. But the export options for video are limited to what Vegas or Avid Studio deem "most common". Live performance playback is a lot more demanding. Vegas and Avid Studio are more ment for home video from what I have seen.

Don't get me wrong, they are great tools. Because I have not used either in the last two years I can't remember specifically what made me look for more control of my export format. But I could easily see a difference in clarity, sharpness, aspect ratio (black bars or stretching) of the final edited video with other tools.

As a test, load the original video in one deck and the edit in another and play side by side with the Split transition so you can see both at the same time. With Adobe, I really can't see any notable degradation. Plus you get key frame control, which is important to live performance DJ / VJ software.

Also found this post is a good read http://fr.virtualdj.com/forums/125220/General.../Video_Encoding.html

Thank you for your answer.
I think Vegas output is a bit blurry sometimes but I think its my own settings that has done that ?

Maybe, or maybe not. Most of the time there was some fuzzieness compared to the original on my edits with Avid and Vegas.

That edit looked good though. Good job!

Sony vegas pro has a lot of export options, I'd say versatility is probably one of its strong points, although you can export to an uncompressed format, and encode/compress using a 3rd party app of your choice such as handbrake.

I've been using Vegas for years and I'm usually able to export a video that looks superior to source, based on colour correction, FX, and using optimal project/rendering settings.
