    when I tried to update it erased the version of 11 I have and said there was an error of some sort and 11 is gone. System restore brought it back but am now afraid to update.

    Julie, the same thing happened to me when I tried to update, after Vegas had alerted me to the new build. Rather than use the restore function to get it (the original installation) back, I opted to go back to the Sony downloads page and download the update again. This time, it sailed through the installation and I was where I needed to be, in build 511, including Titler Pro and my other third-party plug-ins. It didn’t even ask for the serial number. Try it again and you should be good to go.

    Wow. Not sure I’m ready to switchover yet, since I still have 1 PC running V10 on WinXP, but the render performance is amazing with the GPU acceleration. The same 2:34 project, with about 35 h.264 .mov events (Canon 5D) takes 3:26 to render in V10, vs. 1:40 to render in V11. Twice as fast! (Contrast that with over 5 minutes on WinXP quad-core with SVP10). All clips with color correction, some with secondary CC, all cropped to 2.35:1 frame. One event is reversed, which comparatively takes a lot of time to render. Output is Sony AVC 1280×540 24p 6Mbps. Preview seems just slightly better in V11, but I think my CPU is the workhorse there instead of the GPU. Computer specs: Win7 Pro, NVIDIA GTX570, Intel i7-3930K, 16GB RAM.

    -Jim.

    Still won’t ‘Print to HDV tape’

    VP11 Capture HDV from tape, add files to matched timeline and Print to HDV to tape. Timeline renders out but does not print to tape.

    VP10: Add captured clips from above and Print HDV to tape.
    Works every time.
    Now reopen VP11 and print the file rendered out in VP10. Again works every time.

    However; VP10 cannot print the rendered m2t file prepared in VP11 back to tape.

    2 updates and a basic feature still not working!!

    Steve: Wish I was.
    Tests.
    HDV (tape) m2t files captured from the camera and dropped on a matched timeline and selected.
    Tools>Print to HDV tape selected. (delete rendered file unchecked). Timeline renders out, camera swichtes into record mode, tape rolls but viewing screen (on camcorder)remains blue.

    Repeat test using same clips but in VP10. Again clips render out but this time the file is correctley written to tape.

    Whilst still in VP10 try printing the file prepared by VP11 in first test.
    The message The file type is unknown: C:\******\’Print 11 to tape.m2t’ is displayed

    Back to VP11 try printing back the file rendered out by VP10.
    This prints to tape correctly.

    Strange thing is that I can put the file rendered in VP11 onto a timeline in VP10 and render out from here. No recompression reqired is displayed and file prints down to HDV tape

    There appears to be something wrong with the file prepared for tape in VP11. Repeatable on 2 pc’s using same HDR-HC3 camcorder.

    This has been reported to SCS

    If you can suggest any other tests I’d be delighted to get this solved.
