When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

I think the title should be changed to something like "Sony Vegas" to be more consistent with the naming convention applied to similar programs such as "Adobe Premiere Pro" and "Pinnacle Studio". —This unsigned comment is by Zunaid (talk • contribs) 2005-10-26 21:20:00.

[edit] Cleanup

I've moved some recent additions around and cleaned them up. Also added box art for the main product. Plenty of statements requiring citation. Garglebutt / (talk) 01:29, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I've made some fairly major changes

Added some detail to the features, that little info box at the right and also some links to some of the things that needed citations, but I don't know how to make citations!--Tagliare 03:22, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Edit: never mind, I've figured it out (how to make citations)--Tagliare 03:26, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I've made (more) major changes

I've organised the article a bit, splitting the material into "history" "features and etc. I also added a ton of material into "features", as well as cleaning up the history section. I also added more critisism of the product. --Tagliare 06:13, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Additions

I've added new/better screenshots, as well as a media format table.--Tagliare 06:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Good work on this. Garglebutt / (talk) 07:02, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Some of the images work better on the right for multiple screen resolutions. Left aligned tends to break the paragraph flow and can lead to indented section headings. Garglebutt / (talk) 07:14, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vegas 7.0

vegas is now 7.0

[edit] Awfully glowing entry

The entry steps really close to POV with all the wonderful things to say about the software. Even the criticism section offers praise. --24.249.108.133 00:25, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I second this. The whole article reads so glowingly about Vegas that I have a hard time believing it wasn't written by a SONY employee sent on a mission to create this page. (Who knows; maybe it was.) --66.219.188.129 03:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. The obvious is only being pointed out. Both praise and criticism is noted. And what is wrong with praise, as long as it is factual?

I second that. While the overall tone of the article feels positive, the writer does an adequate job of backing up the statements with rationale and facts.(Myscrnnm 05:27, 4 October 2007 (UTC))

I agree with the first two posts; this article seems biased. The page to me appears as if written by either devoted fans of Vegas or Sony employees themselves. Even though it might be true that Vegas is the best editing program available (I have not used Vegas myself), then the page still has the sound of a sales article - even the criticisms turns out to be strong points. I wonder what Sony will have to change for their next version of Vegas? --118.71.213.120 (talk) 14:13, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 8.0 information needed

Someone needs to adapt the new information from this site for info on Vegas Pro 8 in the article and if possible, get a screenshot. --Jack Zhang 12:25, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Done. --12:25, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DVDArchitect4 Full.jpg

Image:DVDArchitect4 Full.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This sounds more like an advertisement/someone telling me about a product vs the encyclopedia feel. Colinstu (talk) 06:33, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
