Quick dirty hack

  Dirty, sure; but quick? I counted three reboots, patching tools, and several trips to random Internet DLL watering holes in there… Made me nostalgic for the era of my life that involved tactics like “blindly fish around black-backgrounded webpages for sketchy patches from authors with names like -=TeAm MeGACOyoTE=-” I went in expecting it to be quick (and to be like, just use DaVinci, dude), but I was pleasantly surprised by a flavor closer to “the madness of art”

  Da vinci is great software but for long time vegas users it is not easy to adapt. I tried several times and failed. I used to edit a couple of my daughter theatrical performance with up to 5 cameras and wanted to use da vinci for its "sync-with-audio" feature and easier color correction for the various, different cameras. I also use 2 pc to edit with vegas, with project and video on an external usb3 disk, moving it from home to office. It is not so easy with da vinci that uses an external database: doable but not easy.

In a similar vein I wish Aperture was still usable on MacOS Sequoia

  I can heartily recommend Nitro¹, which is Aperture's spiritual descendant. I very happily replaced Lightroom with Nitro a couple years ago. Gentlemen Coders is Nik Bhatt, who led the Aperture, iPhoto, RAW Camera and Core Image engineering teams, as well as the imaging team for the Mac version of Photos. ¹ https://www.gentlemencoders.com/nitro-for-macos/ https://www.gentlemencoders.com/nitro-for-macos/

This is a bad idea on an internet facing computer. Windows 7 has numerous unpatched vulnerabilities and Vegas Pro runs just fine on supported versions of Windows… https://app.opencve.io/cve/?product=windows_7&vendor=microsoft https://app.opencve.io/cve/?product=windows_7&vendor=microso...

  Won't someone think of the Internet children? If someone is willing to do this they know how to look after themselves.

For a long time Vegas was my only reason for keeping a PC. I still miss it. Da Vinci is fine, but it's still optimized for professional video editors, which means lots of weird concepts & things which should be easy are hard if you don't understand the history. Vegas' heritage is audio, so it's very fluid for taking a "compositional" approach to video, which makes it great for making music videos.

Do Windows users hate modern Windows this much?

  My computer freezes for 2-3 seconds when I try to open the volume panel and there are ads everywhere on Win 11. It's like Microsoft wants to wipe every good memory I've ever had with past Windows experiences and just accept the present.

    If MacOS ever ended up like that, I'd be on desktop linux tomorrow despite the inconvenience.

      I am remiss to inform you that Big Sur and-onward feels less snappy than GNOME, and has nearly as many advertisements as Windows 11. It wasn't what I wanted either, I bailed after Mojave.
      - platevoltage 1y ago
        I mean, I’m not going to doubt you on the snappiness as I only use Gnome on older machines, but ads? Where are the ads?

    > My computer freezes for 2-3 seconds when I try to open the volume panel You have driver issues. Improving on this problem will require further locking the OS which you may not want.

  The cure is called windows 10 ltsc iot, don't care about piracy.
