HI,
Sony Vegas...thought of it but so far not sure the capabilities. Transition, manual effects , FX, Hollywood FX...etc fantastic; like pinnacle? I like the dimensional effect using the NERO, the quality of DVD burn of both.
I can still recall I can edit them into a window of 4 in one while transiting a still image across the screen or appear and vanish into the background. Can Vegas do that? So far, Ulead to me has nothing worth looking into. Cos it is a very basic function, probably slightly better than window movie maker that's all.
