Vegas 9

[Sukkhin Platon]

I have been playing around with the latest beta build of the upcoming release on one of my machines and here are a few of my favourite features…

The new 128bit version doubles the pixel information by dithering a dual 64bit core. How they did this without destroying its “all realtime, all the time” mission is beyond me. This pushes Vegas to the front of the pack for film work and you can expect to see it replace both Avid and FCP as Sony flexes its muscles in the film world.

That would be nice enough but the feature that really gets me excited is the new full 3D capability that allows users of tools like Maya, 3ds max, Lightwave and others to bring in and composite models directly in their editing projects.

Those are the two big features that excite me. There are many other features but these two should get users taste buds salivating.

So, is it out?

No. Not in released nor beta form. Consider the above post to be either very confuse, deliberate BS, or just plain ole’ BS.

I really cant believe what you are saying Sukkhin,Everything is a blur
to me right now….did you say Vegas 9 at beta stage.
Did you say 128 bit?
Did you say Model compositing from major 3d applications ?
Salivating is putting it way too mildly.

I am not interested in the 3D capabilities as I don’t work in 3D animation but the colorspace and resolution enhancements are very interesting to me.

So they are building a 128bit system using a dual 64bit raster dithering algorithm? I’ve never heard of anything like this. Will it work? How is it in your experience, Sukkhin? If it really works, this opens up a way for Sony to pioneer 8K film resolution, something that neither Avid nor Autodesk have brought to market yet.

This made me glad that I never opted to go with a Mac and FCP.

Howard,
Don’t believe everything you read.
Like you’ve said “I’ve never heard of anything like this”

I did see the following article that was recently posted at Cameratown.com. It appears that SONY is making VEGAS 9 available in August 2008. https://www.cameratown.com/news/news.cfm/hurl/id%7C5839

[Howard Newton]

Yes, but that article doesn’t mention either the 128bit capabilities or the 3D abilities. It mostly just gives an approximate release date, and little more than that.

Is anyone here at this site going to give us any additional information beyond what Sukkhin has given? Any beta team users what to bring out some of the other features?

Thanks,

Howard
