I recently became aware of the ability of Adobe’s Flash Player having the capability of playing mpeg4 video’s.
Why, when there has been such great success with On2’s VP6 codec would Adobe make this feature available?
My conclusion is because mpeg4 is a superior format to native flv at the cost of slightly larger file sizes.

One of the weaknesses of Vegas Pro is its inability to render Adobe Flash Video files within the application itself.
FLV files are the defacto standard for web video content distribution. I discovered a way to create FLV’s via frameserving from Vegas Pro to On2’s Flix Pro.

I recently posted a question on the Vegas forums about what Adobe’s After Effects is and is there a real need to learn this very powerful application.
When all was said and done, the answer, at least for those working as a solo video journalist, is not really.
Here’s why:

Mike Jones has posted a great analysis of the perspective of what editing is and where it is headed.
Of course, he looks at the so called professionals choice, Final Cut Pro, and compares it against my favorite forward thinking NLE -Vegas Pro 8.

I have it on good authority that the Associated Press has chosen to work with SONY’s Vegas NLE over all other video editing offerings for their field teams.
