Which other DAWS support video? (PC)

[djgizmo]

I'm looking to move away from PT. I originally was going to jump ship to Reaper, but of course no video support (that I know of)

Which other DAWS support video?

[MonkeyAdam]

Nuendo... I think cubase too (maybe?) but it's not as good... ?

[MonkeyAdam]

errr... here:

Video support in Nuendo and Cubase :: Knowledge Base :: Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH

[R3altruth]

Nuendo or Sonar... I personally like Sonar... both have surround support also

[andsonic]

Samplitude has a video guide track. Sequioa is fully featured for post work.

Samplitude, Sequoia, Sam for Rent

Nuendo if you do serious post work

Samplitude/Sequoia V11 has video in-track.
Sequoia V11 has multiple video segment capability.

If your needs are more weighted to video than audio, Sony Vegas might be just the ticket. The consumer versions (under $100) are limited in video and audio track count (4 vid, 4 stereo audio) but the pro version (~$600) is not. It is a powerful, efficient video editor with real realtime preview even on modest machines and generally seems to be considered very intuitive to get going with, since its features are very similar to Sony's ACID as well as other conventional DAWs. (I use Sonar and Vegas was very quick to get going with, even as other [low end /free, like AVID Free] editors proved to be head-scratchers.)

Can you describe what you mean by "Nuendo if you do serious post work"?

Nuendo extends the video support with features like edit mode (scrub clips/edits/events to video), more surround capabilities, 9-pin support, networking, etc.

Sorry.... "King of the Hill" moment

Pyramix might be something but it needs their own hardware

Matti

SawStudio and SawStudioLite also
RML Labs Products - SAWStudio

[Matti]

In real life its Protools , Nuendo, Pyramix, Fairlight and one more -my memory...
for post prodiction.

Best

Vegas 9 is quite good ... full featured .. does HD ..
DVD architect 2 is a complete back-end, including Blu-Ray authoring.

The best thing about Vegas 9 is it comes with the Dolby AC3 Surround
encoder. Don't ask me how Sony got that deal out of Dolby but they did.

I bought Vegas initially because is was the cheapest way to get Dolby
surround encoding .. and it turned out it's a pretty good editor for
both audio and video.

I still use FCP for most editing .. if only Vegas was on the Mac..

Rather than me try to read between the lines, how do you feel Vegas stacks up against FCP? Relative stengths, weaknesses?

(I keep meaning to take up a video pal's offer to show me around FCP.)

[EDIT: Looks like you actually answered my question in the other vid editor thread: Nuendo or Sony Vegas Thanks!]

[Matti]

Vegas here also for ocasional edit jobs, Nuendo otherwise

Matti

I'd go Cubase if you compose for media or Nuendo for audio post.

Too bad it's so damn weak in commonly used audio features, to the point of being unusable.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.

I should have provided more information. I'm probably not going to compose to media/video but more or less sound edit/a lil sound design/mix audio for film projects.

I love PT interface, but I hate having to have a digi dongle just to open a session.

I've tried vegas... it's just not my thing as it reminds me way too much of acid and the mix window doesn't feel very friendly. (plus I think it only uses DX plugins)

If anything, looks like I'll start looking into Nuendo and see how that suites me.

[Matti]

You will need a dongle for Nuendo also, but not digi or any other specific brand hardware.

Yea, thats what I meant. I don't mind having an ilok/serial key dongle, but a audio interface dongle is getting intrusive as for those that travel / work.
