i love being a video producer it's great. you get to choose between exactly two programs, adobe premiere or davinci resolve. premiere crashes every 15 minutes but only if you haven't hit save. davinci's keyframe editor is from the 80s and every patch breaks it in new ways. make your choice. go.

seriously the fucking thing is so broken at this point it's literally impossible to keyframe anything. i move the trim handle on a clip, and it fucking. like. it scales the keyframes inside the timeline????? so in pic 1 they're like 3-4 seconds off from reality and in pic 2 they're like 4-6 seconds off. what??? what??????? how could they have possibly done this by accident????

don't.

Like, seriously.

don't.

In my experience, Vegas Pro crashes whenever it feels like it, especially when you do something simple like wanting to playback what you've made so far. you don't even need to be working on massive projects with tons of effects and such. these things just. happen. this is with a version that might be considered legacy by now (15.0). I've heard newer versions are somehow even worse regarding crashing, are laggier than they should be, and have worse versions of features that worked just fine in versions like what i use. then again, hearsay. honestly i refuse to upgrade because sadly, it still works just well enough to do what I need to do.

in reply to @cathoderaydude's post:

and pretty much anything can be keyframed except for clip speed.

clip speed has to be done with real-time controls and real-time curves which is somehow more broken and inflexible than the normal keyframe editor.

Mean while I'm stuck on Vegas Pro, which has new h264 codec handing that's some how slower and laggier than the legacy version, can crash by simply failing to preview a video effect, the trimmer will randomly freeze the program, and plugins that use .NET framework will just randomly stop working because it suddenly can't find said framework.

Video editors should only be experiencing issues or crashes when we're really pushing their limits, not because I'm just trying to watch what I've made so far.

I set premiere to 3 or 5 min autosave interval and increased how many saves it keeps. It has helped a lot. I mean it took me like, 10-15 years to do that, so I have payed a blood tax for it.

I do think learning Resolve is a better move for most people these days, but like, one sensible piece of editing software that worked would be nice.
