>>Or check your mail: I received already two e-mails from Sony with the offer…

I am downloading it now. I am sure they will eventually straighten the bugs out (whether sooner or later)…and a $139.00 introductory price is hard to beat.

Frederic, thanks for doing this research. I was wondering about those things, and it is interesting.

I get ALf’s and others’ comments that real-time preview would really be welcome, but since most of us walk away when rendering, aren’t ease of use and reliability the real primary factors in the selection of an NLE platform?

I’m just pondering out loud….

>>Log into your Sony account, click on “My Software”, scroll down to “Upgrades”, click on “Upgrade to Vegas Pro 10 from Vegas”, click “Buy Now” (ignore the $239.95 price) and you’ll see the $139.95 price.

Am I the only one not seeing it?

Or was it perhaps a temporary typo on their site, and they have fixed it?

Well, as Solomon says, Death and Life are in the power of the tongue.

I understand what you are saying. Please submit your request to Ron Lindeboom here:

If you can show them how to increase their bottom line without significantly increasing their workload (or straining too many brain cells in the process) they may go for it 🙂

You are welcome. It is just that we have no power in these things. So if you want another forum added you have to convince the people who own/operate Creative Cow (point of contact is specifically Ron Lindeboom).

I have been trying to get a NewBlueFX forum added, but so far it seems as if they are not interested. So they just don’t answer.

But it’s their forum, so they get to do as they wish.

I am glad to hear you have lots of work.

Hi Mike.

Sorry to have asked a stupid question.

You and John both recommend it, so I believe I should get it (and now we will see if I can figure out how to use it 🙂

Hi Mike.

I’m just getting back from a trip.

I have been using Sony Noise Reduction 2.0. I understand the functionalty will be built into Vegas Pro 10.

I don’t mean to be ignorant, but what kinds of things do you use iZotope RX for? I have waayyyy too many irons in the fire, and tools I still need to learn. Is it going to clean up my audio that much?

Thank you.

Norman

That’s well said.

Thanks for explaining.

I like John’s point that if a lot of big firms do 3D films (even if it is a passing fad) it may bring some of the industry towards Vegas. I remember a thread not too long ago where people were upset that we were ‘losing the war’ to FCP. If Sony really is courting the big-time film makers, and Vegas gets known as ‘the platform’ that will certainly help Vegas’ cause. DSLR support will also help this (for the same reasons).

I agree that accelerated preview would be highly desirable. But I am able to keep up (pretty much) on a CoreDuo Quad just by converting to Cineform .avi and putting things on Preview > Auto (i.e., ‘fuzzy’). Are the Core i7 systems not able to keep up?

Another thing that people keep mentioning is much better Beta testing before a major release. That sounds reasonable.

I just wrote them and asked about GPU accelerated preview.
