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.
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.
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.
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”
Do Windows users hate modern Windows this much?
The cure is called windows 10 ltsc iot, don't care about piracy.

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

love the site design
In a similar vein I wish Aperture was still usable on MacOS Sequoia

Quick dirty hack

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…

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