Re: Vegas 4 or 5?
If you get the update to version 4.0b or later, yes it has full 24P/25P support. 4.0 and 4.0a didn't offer it, but 4.0b and later do.

Minor revisions are free, yes, but major revisions (like 4.0 to 5.0), they charge for.

Re: Vegas 4 or 5?
True, Barry, But I don't consider 4.0 to 5.0 an update, it is an all new program that is worth the "Upgrade" price. I am talking more along the lines of a company that releases a program, and then a few months later charges for bug fixes and very minor updates, including 24p timeline ability. Sorry, still a little sore, but I'm trying to get over it. Vegas rocks.

Oh, yikes...you're in for a world of difference!
I'm surprised they even classify premiere 6.5 as a working piece of software. How can the company that makes such an inherrently functional piece of software such as Photoshop, also turn out the trainwreck that ammounts to premiere? That software must really be an embarassment to Adobe, as everything else they make seems to be so well engineered.
Anyway, yeah...Vegas is great, if for nothing else then it's stability. I think you'll be pleased with your choice.

Hey Scharky, no problem at all, I just wanted to clarify because in this thread they were talking about Vegas 4, and I didn't want the guy to buy it and then think they could update to Vegas 5 for free, then get a nasty surprise when he finds out there's an upgrade fee.
Vegas does rock. The bezier masking and the Chroma Blur filter are worth upgrading from 4.0 in and of themselves!

Okay, I thought we were upgrading, but help desk just gave us a trial version of the program to test before they buy the boxed copies.
We had a severe system crash with complete memory stack dump lockup about 20 minutes into using Vegas 5.
I'd blame it on the fact that it's a downloaded trial version, but they're very aprehensive now about upgrading.

Re: Vegas 4 or 5?
There are some issues with Vegas 5. Some issues seem to be isolated to just a few users, while other issues appear to experienced by a mass amount of users. Just look on Sony's forums to get an idea of what those issues may be related to.
From what I have seen, no functions appear to be "broken", but stability seems to be an issue for some users.

Re: Vegas 4 or 5?
I wouldn't say it's "plagued" with problems. There are some issues, but still, it's a whole lot more stable than so many apps out there. It's just that v4 was known for it's amazing stability, so anything less is an issue.
Also, there have been updates. They have already released 2 updates to fix issues.

Re: Vegas 4 or 5?
I sure would like to hear from anyone that has had specific "issues" with Vegas 5 - good or bad - and the systems they are running on. There is a long list of issues on Sony's web site but it's not clear which one have been cleared up. I have Vegas 5 sitting on my desk now, but unless it's just as stable as Ver. 4 no thanks.
