Final Cut Pro Vs. Sony Vegas

So me and my friends have just started to consistently film, edit, and put out footage of us skiing.. and i have more than one friend who is capable of editing.

One friend has a macbook pro, (which runs final cut like a fuckin pro) and another has sony vegas ( 7.. im not sure). I personally think PC computers < Macs, and I'm sure that most all of you who have tried both agree.. unless you're a fucking redneck.

both friends want to edit, but i think that the editing / finishing should be done on final cut.. my other friend doesn't really think so.. and conflict (not like .. angry) ensues because we always use his camera.. haha.






My question:

if you had FULL access to editing Go Pro footage in either Sony Vegas 7 or Final Cut Pro, which would you use?

He said the chassis was built better, not that the casing was built more aesthetically...do you know the difference?

alright guys, he's talking about me...

i'm the pc owner and editor as well as special_k10101 (my brother who happens to be very good at editing)

i know that sean has final cut, but realistically at our level... vegas 7 is just fine, i know you're not happy with the turnout of the edit, but we're in the process of making a re-edit

here's the edit for all you guys that wanna see it:

not at all.

The Laptop Chassis holds the motherboard.  The motherboard in turns holds the CPU, GPU, etc. The reason a Lenovo Thinkpad has a BETTER built chassis is due to some features, that you WON'T find on any other laptop.  Active Protection System (similar to an airbag built into the chassis, which protects the screen and hard drive from falls/drops), They also built the cover out of a Carbon Fiber/Fiberglass alloy to make it one of the strongest casings for a computer.  you will also find a motion tracking system inside the computer, which will allow the hard drive to turn off (so that the spinning disc doesn't get damaged) while you are using the computer in turbulent situations (in a car, walking around, in a train or airplane). 

I will agree with you that Apples look the best, but aesthetics have nothing to do with a better built chassis.

if your just makin edits to post on vimeo and shit just for fun it doesnt matter.


ive never heard of anyone editing on anything but Avid or  FCP professionally. ive only ever really used FCP but im sure vegas is fine just to through a quick edit together.

if you want to learn how to do real cool shit learn how to use compositing software.
