  • Vegas 6 vs Vegas 5 – The real differences.

    Posted by Tyez on May 20, 2005 at 10:22 pm

    Hello, I was just wondering what the big differences is between the two. I read the comparision chart on both but wanted to know the major differences between the two are if it is worth buying 6. I know 6 does HD but I don’t do that at the moment. Audio scrub is another difference i saw.
    Thanks

    What’s New in Version 6.0

    Video
    A/V synchronization detection and repair
    Full-screen preview to a secondary Windows display (including DVI monitors)
    Ability to save keyframe presets in the Track Motion and 3D Track Motion dialogs
    Audio
    Option to ignore fact chunk when opening compressed WAV files
    VST effect support
    Playhead timeline scrubbing
    Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) import
    Workflow
    Support for nested Vegas projects
    Ability to save a project path in a rendered file and edit a rendered file’s source project
    Media Manager window
    AAF import and export
    Multithreaded rendering
    Ability to display fade lengths between selected and nonselected events
    Regions and markers that occur at the end of rendered file are now adjusted so they occur on the last audio sample of the rendered file. If you’re rendering the loop region only, any region that extends beyond the loop region is adjust so the region end occurs on the last audio sample. This adjustment prevents warning messages when the rendered files are opened in Sound Forge software.

    Nested VEG files is worth the price for me. If you have a lot of media then Media Manager is good. I have hundreds of sound effects that I can catalog. I have them in folders now and that works but media manager is better if you have a lot of stock footage, pictures, sounds and music. I have hundreds of photographs.

    Some of my favorites just arrived in the new version (Build 115). Keyboard shortcuts for:

    Show/Hide Active Take Names (Ctrl/Shift/I)
    Show/Hide Waveforms and frames (Ctrl/Shift/W)
    Show/Hide event buttons (Crtl/Shift/C)

    plus a few more.

    I’ve gotten noticably faster renderring on a dual-P3 system. Vegas 6 definately breathed some new life into my aging home system. I like the audio scrub, works flawlessly. After reading about the media manager, may try to get my stuff organized with that. Looks like another smooth Vegas revision with lots of great stuff added!
