Totally agree with Neal Barlow for DVD Architect, and possibility of updating the Blu-ray authoring capability, especially for the Top Menu and Quick Menu.

Neal Barlow has a good point in his analisys. I’m not the most active forum user precisely but I use Vegas from the time when it was an audio editor only. These last years I saw that Vegas was only a tool to support the new Sony video formats and the tiny annoying things that needed to be adressed were left behind.

Things so tiny like going directly to the folder where the main project is saved when you are going to render instead of going to the folder you saved last project. It’s a small thing but annoying. And like this there are a lot more that doesn’t make sense, heritage from the very old versions. Real productivity was not a priority. Well, at least not according to what Sony understands ‘productivity’. The multiple timelines, the cursor doing weird things…

I’m always skeptical when a good piece of software is bought. I saw that with discreet Combustion. A software that was left dying of its own age and whose last versions where merely two plugins more than the previous. Vegas is one of the best editors and can be the best. The team now behind of development is great but it has an enormous task. I hope they can delivery what editors need: the old Vegas Philosophy that Sonic Foundry had before Sony acquired the products.

I encourage you to do it.

Thank you very much for that communication.

Super stoked to read this. I am a professional user. I’ve been semi stressing out about finding a suitable alternative to Vegas Pro, but now I don’t have to 🙂

Hi

One point would like to know that if you have plan to do development in order to make the Decklink Mini convertor card to work ? or the new cards from black magic or AJA?

Regards

[Nigel O'Neill] “As a semi-pro editor, feature-wise I would like to know if Magix and the creator of many Vaast products, John Rofrano, will continue to support the plugin’s, particularly the Ultimate S Pro tool set which I swear by for multicam editing.”

I can answer that. 😉

VASST Software will continue to support Vegas Pro and Movie Studio under MAGIX ownership. I’ve already started these discussions with Gary Rebholz. We’ll announce more as we know more but our intent is to continue support for our products.

Love all the news and support from Magix and am greatly anticipating what they do. Here’s a few of my suggestions.

-Better running text plugins with more options. Even the Legacy text plugin is slow. A freakin’ text editor! Deleting or editing text involves a lot of latency. With any of the other text plugins it runs like molasses.
-Better chroma key plugin. Right now it’s very rudimentary.
-More options and flexibility with transitions
-Ability to make “disable resample” on events available by default or to set them by certain parameters (like when I have video of one framerate mixed with video of another framerate that will be output to the second framerate). Also, disable resample as an option across media, not just events.
-Fix the bugs! Vegas is a lot more stable for me than previous versions, but please check bug reports and crashes.
-Sony was notoriously unresponsive to technical support questions. Please be the opposite (you’re shaping up to be that way already. I appreciate it!)

Finally,

-MARKET VEGAS. Promote it. Show you stand behind it (which Sony did not do). We could use all the support that we’d get if Vegas is actually backed by Magix so that it becomes a wider used tool in filmmaking and videography. We all benefit if it’s more industry standard, powerful, and widely adopted. I happily contribute a little to that by including info in the description of every YouTube video I make saying I edit my videos on Vegas and link to the site to buy it (and I will update this for Magix)

Also,

-Better multi-cam editing functionality
-Bit rate calculator

Thanks!

Support for 3D models would be amazing. If not possible, at least a better more robust connection with Hitfilm so we can easily integrate Hitfilm’s 3D model support into our workflow.

Having 3D Models support seems too far for Vegas Pro…. better leave that function for HitFilm’s…
