Yep, that is at the bottom of the homepage here too. And with that, it is official that Vegas 7 won't be supporting the HVX. I wasn't holding my breath though. Well... Maybe just a little. Ah, well. I'm over it. Only one more announcement I am waiting for, and that is the 3rd party program Barry was talking about last week or so.

Sonic has a program called scenarist (?) that I believe will allow you to author blu ray and hd-dvd. It's a big dog program though that requires a hell of a system. I don't even know anything about it. Just heard that it does it.
Ulead's DVD movie studio 5 plus will let you do blu ray, but it seems like it is more for archiving. Meaning it will let you capture some hi def formats (mainly hdv) and direct burn it. I haven't really looked into the whole hi def authoring thing though, but maybe this will help

*you can write data of any kind to blu ray discs with uleads software, but I think they are also ditching blu ray support, so version 5 plus might be the only version you can get that does it.*

YYeah, Scenarist is in the tens of thousands, I believe. It makes me crazy, as a major push by Sony to Vegas could easily set them up as the PC alternative to the creative megalith that is Apple / FCP.

If only... if only.... I give up on Vegas, and as soon as I get my new equipment I am selling my old dcr-trv950.

Yup. I'm an FCP man, but I also believe competition is always good. I mean, there are things in FCP that I'm not happy about, and that are better done in Vegas. In fact there are many things in Vegas far superior to FCP (sound editing, for one), and in general, Vegas is a more intuitive and I daresay a more efficient editing platform (fewer clicks, fewer movements in Vegas to accomplish the same thing in FCP).
Why Sony would want to take Vegas near parity to FCP in most features, and actual superiority in some aspects, and go ahead and commit suicide vs FCP, I just don't understand. It's a no-brainer. Windows the dominant OS market share, so a great intuitive and powerful editing program that runs on Windows (and is cheaper than Avid), should clean up against FCP. After all, to work with FCP, you need to buy a whole new platform in hardware and software and workflow adjustment. Most people have Windows experience and hardware, and should have a much easier time (and it would be cheaper) to stay with the Windows OS platform. Vegas should clean up.
Now, if Sony would really go all out and make Vegas the best editing suite there is, I'm quite sure that in time, they'd take away FCP's current dominance in the editing world. And that would be good for FCP too, as Apple would need to compete - the ultimate winner is the consumer.
And I say that as an Apple user, and FCP user... though in the end, to me the OS is not that religious.... it's just a tool... but the bottom line is that Sony is being shortsighted here, IMHO. What a missed opportunity...

So it's not there.

With all this "should have did this or that" who says they won't come out with a 7A or 7b etc... later on down the line maybe like they did with Vegas 6.0. Maybe they will put in the support. I'm sure they are listening but right now the only cameras that have a hard time with this is the Panasonic owners, mainly the HVX. There is not problems with JVC, Canon or of course Sony owners. Just because they choose to use the pany format vs the HDV that the other cameras use. 3 out of 4 is better to satisfy than one share of the market. You don't hear people that own those cameras complain about Vegas. Personally I would rather use Vegas than to deal with AVID,Premiere or change to FCP. Besides you can use the workarounds to convert those files to get what you want anyways (raylight). It all about business. I own a DVX and I'm getting the HD Canon next. And I will continue to use Vegas without the headaches of crashes and lost time and data.
