Hey Mike
I do not have the Pro version of QuickTime, I use the free version, but I am told there is no difference, just that you are able to edit in the Pro version... this is what I am told... Your mileage may vary.
Rich - I'm using the free version of Quicktime on my Vista 64-bit system, so the Pro version would hopefully work as well.
From my quick research, I like Adobe Premiere Elements 7, which will be released in 8 more days. They claim Vista support, but I need to validate if it will actually support the 64-bit version of Vista.
I'm going to explore that option further, as it appears to be a good package for the price.
Are we talking about Quicktime from Apple, or is there any other out there?
Please provide the link. Thanks.

OK, but that version is $550. Anything out there cheaper? I'd like to spend around $150 or less.

http://lives.sourceforge.net/index.php on some form of linux/unix - they will give it to you for a grand total of $0. Same price for a shiny OS to run it on too. You could spend your $150 on someone setting it up nicely for you.

Yup, I run this on Vista Ultimate 64 and it works great.
This is good news. Which specific version of Sony Vegas do you use? The "Pro" version is quite expensive, so I'm hoping that one of the "lesser" versions will support Vista 64.
In the Professional world there are three competitors.
Adobe Premier Pro
Apple Final Cut Pro
Sony Vegas (I think there's a pro here too!)
I use Adobe Premier because I think it's more universal, plus I don't have a mac for using FC. Final Cut is numero uno in the world of editing, it's like Photoshop.
Whatever you want though.
Edit: 64-bit versions are only in the top of the line, you're not getting it cheaper than whatever 1000's of dollars they want you to pay.

Is video editing software (Premiere and/or Final Cut in particular) somewhat similar to the visual editing/PPing in Photoshop CS2/3? (In terms of layers, masks, sharpening, dodging, burning, contrast, etc., etc., etc.)
I ask this because I have never really done real video-editing and wondering if the learning curve is going to be a little easier for a PS user. (visual specifically).
(I've experimented in the past with the cheapy software that came with the Windows OS (I now use Apple), and also used to do quite a few dj mix editing w/ various audio editing software; so I am somewhat familiar to how videos are put together in terms of stacking/merging/blending "tracks" of different video and audio clips (dunno the right terminology)).

Not in my experience, but I usually try to get things right in camera and use the NLE to put together audio, multiple cameras as well as cg (titling, transitions, and similar).
