The AVC/AAC encoder for H.264 looks quite amazing. It seems to take a long time to render but the results look fantastic.

Does this mean we should not expect any major updates at this years NAB? Sony/Vegas has given use new versions for the last two years. Does anyone have an ear to the ground as to what we could expect for this years NAB?

[Strobealific]

I’m guessing not. They are focusing on the next major release of ACID which is taking more of an audio multi-track from the look of things.

[Mike Kujbida]

My (optimistic?) guess is that they will have version 7 at NAB. The newest version of 4 was released in Novemeber 2003 and version 5 was in January 2005. NAB is 2 still months away so I’ll keep hoping.

[leslie wand] “can i install seperately?”

You should be pretty safe upgrading your current Vegas 6 version.
Always best to wait ’till your between projects, but it sounds like you could use one of the fixes in the update.

thanks gary,

you’re quite right, i really do need the pal tc entry fix…..

however, having never done this before (i usually install seperately, then delete old version);

a. will my plugins remain in place and registered (ie. excalibur)

b. prefs and the like?

c. any effect on dvd3?

thanks as ever,

leslie

Hi leslie. Somehow I knew you’d like the T/C fix 🙂
To (hopefully) answer your question, I’ve always installed over top of old versions and nothing has changed. I upgraded last night and have run Vegas & DVDA and nothing changed at all. Extra icons that I had on the Vegas task bar were still there and my prefs were unchanged. I don’t have Excalibur but I can’t imagine it changing either. Drop Edward a quick email to confirm this if you’re unsure.

Never mind contacting Edward. I see he’s still awake 🙂
Thanks Edward for confirming this.
