[Rick Hughes] “the Sony Color Match plugin is not included.”
Strange I have Vegas 12 and the sony color match plug is available. Do a search in the effect window.

One way it can be done is at the track effects level. Insert a track above the media you wish to effect. Add a gaussian blur filter to the track making sure the effect is to the right of the composite rectangle. Use the child parent relationship to select which tracks will be effected. Now for the painful bit. Enabling or disabling the effect is done by keyframe animation in the plugin.

[Ca Tourne Et Joupiter] “i drag a .veg from te project window to the timeline”
No you were clear however in order to work in ACES with Vegas, the project media and render template must be set to aces manually.Please got to the suggested url and watch the videos.

[Tom Edwards] “Sir, all you had to do was market those terms with a little finesse.”
Tom Edwards I can’t help but marvel in the quality of the elocution in the response.

The are two free solutions I know.Blackmagic design Resolve 12.Lightworks 12 is also a free program. A websearch on how to use the new multicam edit feature may be needed to wrap your head around how it works.
Conversely, using Vegas 13 trial will give you some time to finish a project.
Then again it can be done the old fashioned way by the use of the trimmer window.

Hi Fab, as I understand it the render template also needs to be set to render rec709. For info on the complete ACES workflow in vegas visit https://www.jbalazer.com/aces-in-sony-vegas#TOC-ACES-and-ACEScc-Intro-and-Tutorial-for-Sony-Vegas-Pro

Hi,
Based on the image album the third image with the green screen turned sideways. To fix this.
Go back to Vegas and right click in the event/ pan crop and choose restore. This will put things back to the original position. Next, find the track motion button located to the left of the screen where the video and audio sliders are. Use the track motion to rotate the green screen image, place it where you wish it to appear and adjust the size to taste. Hope that helps.

[John Rofrano] “I will not support the subscription model”
To wit, I’d like to thank you and Douglas Spotted Eagle for not continually billing me for Ultimat S.
You are absolutely correct Mr. Rofrano the subscription model is unsustainable. Sure it’s 25 here 10 there 50 more over there and before you know it, the will be 5 or 6 hundred a month just to keep one edit bay running. Yes remember these licences are but for one installation so if there is a backup machine then double the cost.
Another thing that I don’t agree with is the fact that these subscription licences need to be online. Certainly these Ransomware providers are serious about their online security system but are they concerned about your security? Now this is probably way out there, however not inconceivable. Let’s hypothesise. As the master server does a handshake to check license, What is to impede some over achieving coder to send a little something extra to the licencing server. You can take it from there, just use your imagination. But mostly, I consider it an invasion of privacy.

“So you are OK with the subscription model “
I was going to leave that alone. If someone wishes to be taken hostage I wont stop them.
[Rob Cioffi] “whether SVP 14 was going to drop this year (or even still in new feature development for a new version)”
I don’t get it VP 13 is capable of cutting most pro codecs and 3D stereo. How many more features are needed at this time. As to the Adobe System of interchanging projects, I have found it less than truthful about project handoffs between AE and Premier.
Myself I use Vegas to cut and Fusion as a compositor with a custom script to send the Vegas timeline to Fusion much the same as Avid and Lightworks can export the timeline to work on in Fusion.
Then there are the free NLE such as Lightworks and Resolve 12 is a serious contender as a powerful NLE. Both support ofx plugins and can be installed on Win, Mac or Linux.
Personally I refuse to use any ransomware company for I don’t wish to encourage the business model.
That’s my two cents worth.

Ok Rob, here is the thing. All skills are marketable. All that is needed it to find the market and the individual customer base in that market.

The post will explain the situation
The question should be what is your plan for your future. Keep in mind that TV is declining in popularity and newsrooms are disappearing. For film, Studio or independent, the decision is made long before you get hired as the chief cutter. Chances are great that at best an assistant editor position will be offered long before you get to sit in the big chair.
Your NLE training will come from where ever you can find a position. It is doubtful that a multi million Dollar production will be placed in the hands of an unknow.
First and foremost, LEARN YOUR CRAFT.
This whole argument is akin to the camera dialogs on which is better has greater pixel count, dynamic range and so forth. It’s all hype and tripe.
The best camera to use it the one you can get or already have. Make your film and edit it with whatever you can afford. Run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes.
I assure you, as a producer, I will not engage in a discussion at to what was used to film or edit your demo reel.IF I like your work you will be hired as a assistant who will catalogue, archive and prepare the files for use by the editor. If you fit into the team, I may decide to use your services and assign smaller projects to you. But the main point is that I have to like you more than your work. That is the secret.As to vegas stability, it works fine and I find Vegas to be less rigid in file handling. In fact in my facility it is the preferred choice. I do 15 second commercial and independent feature length productions. No hiccups since 2003.
WHen a client walks in I make certain all the usual name brands are are open and visible on the desktop. With the project procured things go back to running mode with Vegas as a cutter and Fusion as a compositor. My projects get out the door and monies come in the door without the use of ransomware.
But that is another argument.
Final statement. LEARN YOUR CHOPS.
