Sony Vegas Pro 10 and Sony Vegas Pro 11 …..differences ?

[Angelo Mike]

My advice is go with 10. Here are my problems with 11 that I posted on Sony’s forums.

Now that is a worry , whereas Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 11 has no issues and does AVCHD, H.264 and HDV/mpeg-2 1440 x 1080 perfectly to both Pro tape and Blu-Ray disc, and I was thinking of upgrading to Pro 11 ?

Ive downloaded the Vegas 11 trial and have been using it for about an hour and in that time have found 2 bugs and one major annoyance and had 5 crashes – it does run a good bit faster than 10 and infinitely better than 9, which I found as good as useless at running multitrack graded HD – but why dont 9 & 10 run as fast?? Alas, Im stuck with the crock of shit that is Vegas….

Gee Dan, how do you really feel? Would you care to share what the 2 bugs you found and major annoyance is?

Hi Angelo Mike,

I cannot understand why the stablizer is so good in Platinum 11, and there are virtually no problems, I did see the problems you posted. Not a good look .

No idea, Bob. I found several bugs/issues, especially the aspect ratio problem where Vegas 11 changed the aspect ratio on all my media, to make 11 almost unuseable. The only reason I really want 11 is to be able to utilize new plugins, effects, and new stabilizer controls. At least I have Vegas 11 for when these issues get fixed, but from my perspective, Sony inserted bugs, slowdown, and changing the aspect ratio on my media-thousands of clips, not recognizing my graphics card which Sony explicitly lists as one utilized by its GPU acceleration and lists by how much my model accelerates performance, make it a waste until fixes are released.

My main issue is where the stabilisation control now is – you no longer right click, its now in the effects menu, except it doesn’t work! – to make it work you have to go in via tools, and you cant ask it to render just the sub clip, it renders the whole clip ( or at least theres no obvious way to do this) in 10 it asked you if you wanted to render the whole clip or sub clip.
The programme is also prone to crashing during the stabilisation render. Ive stabilised scenes that have totally freaked out and become jerky. Ive also found a bug in “glow”, the glow area becomes transparent so the track underneath shows through. The stabiliser is a fantastic tool in Veg10 but a real pain in the ass in 11. The best thing by far about 11 is its speed – I edit music videos that usually consist of quite heavily graded multi – tracks.
With 9 playback was so jerky, even on the half draft monitor setting, that it was almost impossible to cut accurately, ( before you ask, yes I have a very decent computer, shit loads of RAM and a good graphics card) I couldn’t quite believe it was so bad – 10 was much better, but still left a lot to be desired – 11 in my opinion is how 9 & 10 should have been in the 1st place – it actually works!
Ive used the trial of 11 on one project so far, fully expecting to upgrade as soon as the trial expires, but based on my very limited experience with it so far, no way will I be upgrading until these bugs are sorted – and I have a very strong feeling its just the tip of the ice burg..

Yes, I have witnessed a few bugs myself. Vegas 11 alone and 3rd party software. I am sure they are working to get the bugs out. Send in the reports and hope they address the issues is all you can do.

[Angelo Mike]

I have no idea how anyone’s getting smooth multicam editing. For me the quality in multicamera editing has gone down from 9.

It works pretty decent in 10, but then again i’m allocating 8g of ram for preview. as for 11, way too much crashing, hangups, etc for my liking.
