I was a vegas video 4.0 whore back in like 03-05 but had to call it quits once my sony camcorder was confiscated by the boys in blue! Haven't made a video in awhile but I sure did love it then! I find Vegas Video to be damn easy and can hang with Premiere with the right plug ins! Premiere is awesome right out of the box though!, it's just hard to get a hang of it unlike VV!

Also I was shooting with a MiniDV and transferring via firewire connec!
