I often take my stuff out of the freezer, season it, and into the vacuum bag; then straight into the SV bath.
Big second on MacKenzie's suggestion to save the SV juices. They also make a great addition to sauces or if I'm doing a steak, to some sauteed mushrooms. A touch of Dijon mustard helps to break up the coagulated material when added to the mushrooms (more visual appeal than flavor issue).
