I know I can just download the HitFilm demo, but if I could just get some quick bullet-points from you guys on why you think Vegas' NLE is superior to HitFIlm's NLE, I would greatly appreciate it!Īsus 17.3" Republic of Gamers Strix G17 model: 77H0ROG1. Also, I assume those who own both licenses use a hybrid approach: Vegas for editing/audio-post HitFilm for effects-compositing, round-tripping to and from Vegas when necessary. I assume the answer from this community is going to be, "Vegas!" That it's the "better" all-around NLE for most users and that its audio-post features in particular are likely superior to those in HitFIlm's NLE.
Use HitFilm's NLE instead of Vegas and stay in my macOS-ecosystem and get a faster MacBook Pro. I get more performance-per-dollar in a PC-laptop, so stay with Vegas Pro for editing.Ģ. (I'm hoping my late-2015 Core i7/40GB iMac may be capable enough to run HitFilm's NLE and its effects-engine, but perhaps not.) Basically, the decision is:ġ. Since HitFilm's NLE runs on both Windows and macOS, if I found Hit Film's editor to be as good or "better" than Vegas Pro, I could return the PC laptop and instead use that money toward the purchase of a new, faster MacBook Pro. I just bought a new Windows laptop (arriving today) just to be able to use Vegas on-the-go (since I'm all-macOS, otherwise). However, I gather there's less round-tripping with Vegas Post than with a Vegas + HitFilm-workflow, but not sure if that makes up for Vegas Effects' "missing" features.īut then I came to another decision-point: I'm choosing this over Vegas Post, mainly because when comparing Vegas Effects with HitFilm Pro, there just seems to be too much to give up to choose Magix' version of HitFIlm versus the real deal from FXhome. So I've pretty much decided on taking advantage of the current 32%-off promotion for the HitFilm Pro + Ignite Pro Video Bundle for $437.
