Sorry- I meant better multicam, cause I hate the way it is now.

Well... Yes. Supprts it if you pay $100-150 in plug-ins but I think it should just come included with the software. IMHO.

Well said. Nothing against Ed or Spot but this functionality should be in the software, not something to buy or script later.

And I'm not as worried about what's in Vegas upgrade but DVDA. There's some things there they really need to look into.
 
If the the editor is good from start the lesser the uppgrade need to be.

So if Vegas 5 was the last big uppgrade there would basicly dont be such big need foor a major uppgrade.

Of course the lack of HVX200 support is a disgrace of Vegas.
 
Yes, looks like they specifically only support the Sony-only version of MXF. Look at the bottom of this page where it references file formats that are supported:
http://dv411.com/vegas7.html

You'll see where it shows the file formats, and the only reference to MXF that they make is for "Sony MXF".

Like No Other. Once again.

But hey, if you need to output directly to a Playstation Portable, or you're working with that oh-so-popular ATRAC 3 format, well, they've got you covered.

Sigh. No support for HVX whatsoever.

Yes, this actually has me a little worried. It's not a nice path they are going down. And I've seen the demise of another VERY good NLE when it was sold to a bigger company. The similarities are all-so-similar. Let's just hope Vegas does NOT suffer the same fate!
 
THEY WILL. suffer the same fate that is. Everything is pointing that way. Sony has taken Vegas away from what made it such a great option, imo, to begin with. They might as well bundle it with all sony cam's and get it over with. And say goodbye to the majority of the rest of their customers. I think people are only going to be willing to go with 3rd party plugins and other workarounds for so long. Vegas spoiled nle users, and eventually they will get their butter from another nle. Why should I reward Vegas for their "marketing strategy"?

p.s. I am still holding my breath waitin' to hear what Barry was talking about with this "new" 3rd party thing for vegas, but barring me being able to drop p2 straight on the timeline and edit multicam, it probably ain't happening.

It won't likely ever be that. It's something else, along the lines of Raylight.

If you want to drop HD P2 files straight on the timeline, the way it's meant to be done, EDIUS is the only option right now.
 
Me too. But the more I am screwing with the trial of Edius, the less I am missing Vegas. It'll work I think (with a few add-ons).
 
Here's my only potential worry about EDIUS: they were just bought by Thomson Grass Valley.

Will we see a repeat of history here? Will EDIUS start to support only Thomson Infinity product, and not support other manufacturers? I don't expect it to happen, I mean, EDIUS is about the only one out there with full native JVC HDV 24p support, full native Canon 1080/24F support, full proper P2/MXF support, end-to-end XDCAM HD support... the EDIUS guys seem very, very platform-agnostic right now. I really hope it can stay that way!
 
God, I hope so. I was posting the other day about the parallels of Vegas and Edius. Predicting (hopefuly) that Edius could not only become a "complete" well rounded package in versions 5 and 6 and beyond but likely will experience larger market penetration, particularly with broadcast stations. It seems really well suited for that arena already.

it will be a year or two before I move to HD since this is mostly a hobby for me. By then I hope there will be much better cameras out there, or a HVX100A. And by that time I hope Vegas will move to support other codecs. They cant seem to learn from the mistakes of their "proprietary past".
 
3 upgrades i would love to see...

1) full native mfx support .. all reses

2) being able to export a project into afterFX

3) More support for 3rd party plugins

is that too much to ask? :P
