Vegas 6

What is "Nested Timelines"?

Right now any project in Vegas, no matter how large, is placed on a single timeline. With nested timelines, you have a master timeline and sub timelines (or sequences) that are linked together. So if you have a complicated scene, it can be on it's own timeline and linked to the master timeline. It makes it easy to re-use certain sequences in different projects, by bringing them in as sub timelines. It also makes it *much* easier to collaborate on long form projects.

Yeah. True background rendering means you're working in the same project as your prerenders happen automatically in the background. Having to go to another instance of Vegas just isn't the same.

TIFF or PNG output?

TIFF or PNG output?

I hope they will include output of either PNG or TIFF files like Avid and Premiere in order to uprez to photozoom pro. Anyword about this as a possiblility?

What would be even better is if they included the Photozoom algorithm into Vegas!

Um....it already does PNG. If you mean single frames (or all the frames individually, using the script)

Yep, I agree that your "true" background render would be nice. I can also see that it would be problematic to implement. What happens if you change part of the timeline that is being background rendered? Does it just abort those parts and try again?

I can see how I could script something similar to "true" background prerendering, but it would not be as integrated and transparent.

Yes.

Another advantage Edition has over Vegas is that if a clip's effects are pre-rendered, they stay that way even if you move the clip (unless it affects another clip, like a title might). With Vegas, of course, the pre-rendering is region-specific and you lose it if you move anything.
