Great news for Pro 10/DSLR owners

[Frederic Baumann]

Thanks for this information Mike.

I have posted a comment to Eugenia, because she says that Cuda is not used, but the Vegas 10 Pro web page (https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegaspro10) says that yes:

“GPU-Accelerated AVC Encoding

Editors using a CUDA-enabled NVIDIA® video card are able to encode to the Sony AVC format using GPU-accelerated rendering — providing improved AVC rendering performance and speed, ensuring final projects are published faster than ever before”

Maybe Cuda is used only for encoding, not decoding?

You are correct, CUDA is used to render out files to h264. I sincerely wish that Sony had put in the work to allow the preview window to make use of this technology, but as it stands Adobe did and Sony didn’t. As a direct result of that the other editors in my office have switched from mac to pc and I just spent my weekend building new PC’s with 470GTX nvidia cards and we’re waiting for CS5 to arrive. I had dreamed of one day converting everyone at work to Vegas but Sony just took a dump on my dreams 😛

The boss’ daughter insists I should switch to CS5 also so we’re all “on the same page.” Feh, I’d rather go freelance than ditch Vegas. I mean, Sony will fix this huge lapse in judgment eventually… right?
