Lack of $600
I got a copy of Vegas for $40 at Target
Isn't that still like, Johnny's live savings?
$20 a month. If you're a student, you can get it at a lower cost or even for free.
Why do people jump to the conclusion that an editing software is expensive without doing research to get it cheaper?
OT, I use Vegas, but I recommend Premiere a bit more because you can import/export things from other Adobe software. For example, edit a clip in After Effects, then export it into Premiere.
