Sony Vegas Alternative

[Polyvalent]

Hey there yall.  I tried out the demo of sony vegas and really liked it, but obviously dont have deep enough pockets to get it.

 

Are there any alternatives that have similar features for free/not exorbitant amounts of money?

 

I'd prefer people with actual experience with an alternative to SV.  I can google search alternatives, but I'm a lazy bum and cba to review them all myself.

 

thanks in advance for any and all suggestions

There's Lightworks, but it's extremely hard to use. I uninstalled it after 5 minutes of trying to learn how to use it.

Primer is possibly the next best option although idk how much it is per month now days 

 

or Lightworks

Vegas is in a league of its own IMHO

this is a great article from life hacker http://lifehacker.com/5976725/build-your-own-adobe-creative-suite-with-free-and-cheap-software they did a list of free alternatives for the adobe cs

I use Premiere Pro personally, though I actually find myself often using After Effects instead. It's not at all the same kind of program, I'm just way more comfortable using AE than Premiere.

I've used Resolve a bit too, seems like a better tool for color grading and encoding footage than it is for editing.

My vote's definitely for Premiere though.

Just to add, DaVinci Resolve is primarily a Color Correcting and Color grading software. Though it's targeted predominantly on those people who use it for that purpose, you can still do some editing. 

I use Premiere Pro in conjunction with DaVinci. Premiere for the editing, Resolve for grading.

I use Magix, but it crashes alot.

  "Hollywood’s most powerful color corrector 

is now also the world’s most amazing editor!"

 

now you can edit on it also, is on the lifehacker article and that quote is from the davince resolve website
