This announcement was posted prior to the release of FCPX, I’m a long time fan of Sony Vegas but he fact that they have removed the XML export options in the 64bit version indicates to me that they are not serious in pursuing this as a pro package. I hope I’m wrong but they’re doing the same as Apple. Just in case, I’ve recently taken up the Adobe offer of creative suite. I must say that Premiere is so much harder to use than Vegas at first glance but it does appear more professional, but I’m not a big fan so far. This may change but I would prefer that Sony can get it together as color grading in Vegas is hopeless, and Resolve doesn’t support PCs, Magic Bullets doesn’t support Vegas any longer and I can’t export my projects to colorise in external pro packages, then unless there’s a super update, I cannot continue with Vegas purely for that one reason.

It’s not a matter of doom and destruction of Vegas, Vegas is part of my anatomy! it’s a matter of facing the facts. Apple can afford to charge $299 for FCPX, it’s the industry standard, Sony could never compete with so little sales in comparison. Vegas was always easier to use and had great features that made it into an easy to learn and fast to use package. That was its edge, plus resonably priced. FCPX does all that plus a lot more now and it’s industry standard. I see the future of Vegas becoming a small time editor for home use at $99 if its to even exist. But professionally I can’t see it surviving unless Sony has some sort of magic bullet.

Yes I realise that, but for it to play in a PAL DVD player, I can’t seem to find the correct settings.

It might be a PAL issue, as there are no settings for 24P in PAL, only NTSC it seems. What confuses me, if that’s the case what are all the PAL DVD movies playing in?

I’ve just installed Vegas 10 and found that playback of my 1080P footage is no longer in full quality or as fast as Vegas 9 when previewed (not realtime). Been half way through a feature film, I’m sticking to V9, once edited I might bring it into V10 for better audio editing features.

My mistake, I did upgrade to version 9e. Nothing seems to be failing drive wise, as the files play well and correctly just seemed to have hyperlinked to a different file. Very unusual and I’m only up to scene 9 out of 65 scenes, so it is a concern.
I’ll fix the issue and keep going to see if it happens again. I’m not too sure what else to do as apart from that it’s working fine. I’ve deleted the scene now and overwritten the file so I can’t test it on another drive. Not the first time and it won’t be the last that I lose hours of work on a computer!

I’m using an external raid5 system with 4 x 1 terrabyte and there’s only 800 gigs of footage. Plenty of space. I use the lightning bolt all the time to work efficiently. Drives are clean and just been formatted. Video plays well, no file issues, just vegas is confusing those two files. Just makes no sense. Even if I place them in the trimmer, video doesn’t match the file name. If I play it in the project manager then it’s fine. Aside from that it’s been working like a dream, no crashes. And yes they are 1080P files.

What about selecting the “Vegas color scheme” under display in preferences?
is it the timeline that’s brighter or the preview monitor that’s gone darken? Nothing to do with windows display settings?
If you load an old project is it the same issue?
