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.
