Titolo: Vegas pro 12 - attenzione

Avviso agli utilizzatori di Vegas pro:
La versione che è stata messa in vendita/upgrade del
vegas pro 12 ha un numero di build che è inferiore
all'ultimo beta e (provato) contiene molti errori che
nella beta successiva erano stati eliminati.
Suppongo che nel giro di poco apparirà un update che
riporterà Vegas alla normalità, per lo meno come
all'ultimo beta.
Veramente strano questo comportamento di Sony, non si addice
a una ditta seria. Che siano così a corto di soldi da
dover mettere in prevendita un software incompleto?
Sono molto meravigliato e non mancherò di inviare le mie
rimostranze.
Commenti a voi.
Ciao, Gab

Eccovi le novità della versione 12 (quando sarà completata).
Ciao, Gab
 
2.0 What’s New
New Features in Version 12.0
Video
 
     Added new video plug-ins:
         LAB Adjust allows you to manipulate colors in the Lab (L*a*b* 
or L*, a*, b*) color space.
         Color Match allows you to automatically match the color between 
clips.
         Layer Dimensionality allows you to add depth to video and 
images that contain alpha transparency.
     Added Lightness/a/b histogram view, allowing you to analyze your 
video in the Lab (L*a*b* or L*, a*, b*) color space.
     Added Set to 0% velocity to the video velocity envelope point 
shortcut menu.
     Hold Shift (for trim) or Ctrl+Alt+Shift (for adjacent trim) while 
dragging an event edge to ignore event grouping for fast J and L cuts.
     Added tools for creating rectangular and oval masks and for moving, 
scaling, rotating, and feathering masks in the Event Pan/Crop plug-in.
     You can now use the Apply to FX control in the Event Pan/Crop 
plug-in to mask video event effects.
     You can now pair stereoscopic 3D subclips at the track level.
     Additional multistream 3D formats are now supported.
     Added support for automatic 3D pairing of single-stream clips from 
the PMW-TD300, PMW-F3 with 3D Link option, and cameras that append _L 
and _R to left- and right-eye clip names.
     You can create video proxy files in the Project Media window for 
optimized editing and playback.
     Added support for the new OpenFX GPU render extension for third 
party GPU-accelerated effects.
 
Audio
 
     You can now preview audio through supported AJA and BlackMagic 
Design video preview devices.
     Added 64-bit Gracenote support.
     Added support for 64-bit Noise Reduction (Audio Restoration, Click 
and Crackle Removal, Clipped Peak Restoration, and Noise Reduction), 
Acoustic Mirror, élastique Timestretch, and Wave Hammer plug-ins.
 
Workflow
 
     Expanded edit mode provides fast, accurate event trimming: the in 
and out frames are displayed in a split-screen Video Preview window and 
unused, available frames are displayed in the timeline,
     Simplified edge trimming: press Alt+[ or Alt+] to trim the 
beginning or end of the selected event to the cursor position.
     You can press Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+] to navigate selected events on the 
timeline, or press Ctrl+Shift+[ and Ctrl+Shift+] to create time 
selections from selected events.
     When you right-click a file in the Project Media window and choose 
Select Timeline Events from the shortcut menu, the cursor now moves to 
the first event that uses the media and the timeline scrolls to the cursor.
     Vegas Pro allows you to match your project video properties to a 
video clip:
         You can choose to match project video settings to the first 
video clip you add to the timeline.
         You can right-click a video clip in the Project Media window 
and choose Match Project Video Settings from the shortcut menu.
     Added project-interchange tools to allow you to exchange projects 
with other popular editing platforms.
     Added support for importing and exporting text in the Credit Roll 
plug-in.
     Video plug-ins that include 2D positional controls can now be 
adjusted by dragging a point in the Video Preview window.
     Added support for reading orientation metadata in still-image 
formats. If a still image contains orientation metadata, the image will 
be oriented correctly when added to the Vegas Pro timeline. Orientation 
metadata is represented by the Rotation drop-down list in the Media 
Properties dialog.
     Render progress is now displayed in the Windows taskbar. If the 
render time is greater than a minute, a sound is played when rendering 
is complete.
     To change the sound, go Control Panel in Windows and click Sound. 
Click the Sounds tab and expand the Vegas Pro 12.0 entry. When you 
select the Render Complete event, you can preview the current sound, 
assign a new sound, or turn off the Render Complete sound.
     You can now import media from Vegas Pro project files.
     You can now tag media files in the Project Media window.
     Additional search fields for media bins and new smart bin feature.
     You can now edit properties for multiple media files.
     The Explorer window has been redesigned.
     Extensions are now saved in window layouts.
     You can now simultaneously adjust the fades of all selected events.
     Multiple rows of docked windows are now supported.
     Display of thumbnail images in the Project Media window has been 
refreshed.
 
Formats
 
     Added support for Intel Quick Sync Video accelerated rendering for 
Sony AVC/MVC when using a supported Intel processor.
     Added Blu-ray Disc rendering templates for the Sony AVC/MVC and 
MainConcept AVC/AAC formats.
     Added support for AVCHD 2.0.
     Added support for rendering HDCAM SR (SStP) video using the Sony 
MXF HDCAM SR format in the Render As dialog.
     Added support for reading Panasonic P2 files and browsing P2 
devices with the Device Explorer window. DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO25, DVCPRO50, 
DVCPRO-HD, and AVC-Intra formats are supported.
     Added support for choosing a color space and view transform when 
working with S-Log encoded images. Color space settings can be made in 
the media properties and custom rendering templates. The view transform 
setting is made in project properties.
 
3.0 Known Issues
 
     The Windows Media Audio 9 Voice codec is not included with the 
Windows Media Player 11 update. If you've installed Windows Media Player 
11, rendering to Windows Media Audio 9 format will produce an error. For 
more information, please refer to Knowledge Base article 932390 on the 
Microsoft Help and Support site.
     If you are printing a rendered file to HDV tape, the file must 
precisely conform to the target HDV device and file type requirements, 
or the print-to-tape operation will fail. Rendering using the provided 
HDV MPEG-2 render templates—unmodified in any way—is required to 
successfully print to HDV tape.
     Vegas Pro templates for rendering multichannel audio in 
.wav/.wav64, .avi, and .mxf formats may be visible in other Sony 
Creative Software Inc. applications that do not support multichannel 
audio. Using these templates in other applications will not produce the 
desired result and should be avoided.
     Under some uncommon conditions on multiprocessor machines, you may 
encounter stability problems when using some Waves 5.2 plug-ins. In most 
cases, the stability issues can be resolved by clearing the Enable track 
buffering check box in Vegas Pro 12 (Options > Preferences > Audio Device).
     You may not be able to render files larger than 4 GB using some 
combinations of settings in the Sony AVC encoder.
     If you have multiple Sony applications (such as ACID, Sound Forge, 
CD Architect, etc.) installed, uninstalling other Sony applications may 
cause your audio plug-ins to be removed from Vegas Pro. To restore your 
audio plug-ins, uninstall and reinstall Vegas Pro.
     When the Show Video Monitor button in the Trimmer window is 
selected, video that you preview from the Vegas Explorer and Media 
Manager windows is played back in the Trimmer. Because the Trimmer is 
placed in the same window dock as the Explorer and Media Manager, you 
will not see your video preview. To preview Explorer and Media Manager 
video, you can drag the Trimmer to a new dock group, or you can turn off 
the Show Video Monitor button to preview in the Video Preview window.
     The Step Forward and Step Backward buttons in the Capture window 
are not supported by all HDV devices.
     If your project contains still-image sequences, segmented .r3d 
files, or P2 MXF files, do not select the Copy media with project check 
box in the Save As dialog. Some frames or segments may not be saved when 
this check box is selected.
     Installing driver 2.21 for the PDW-UI XDCAM drive can prevent Vegas 
from starting. Uninstalling the driver or upgrading to version 2.3 will 
resolve the issue.
     If you're running two instances of Vegas Pro, external control 
devices are available only to the first instance of the software.
     When using the Stereoscopic 3D Graphic Card as your preview device 
with an nVidia 3D Vision for Quadro or 3D Vision Pro setup on a Windows 
Vista machine, the 3D output may stop when opening another window (such 
as a video FX property page). If this occurs, please make sure you have 
the latest graphic card driver and 3D Vision USB driver installed. If 
installing the latest drivers does not fix the problem, try switching 
the primary and secondary monitors. There is also a known issue where 
content on the main window will flicker. This can be fixed by moving 
another window over the portions of the window that are flickering and 
then closing the overlapping window.
     We recommend Windows 7 for nVidia 3D Vision for Quadro setups.
     Rendering CineForm Neo3D files requires CineForm NeoHD, Neo4K, or 
Neo3D 5.1 (or newer) or GoPro-CineForm Studio, Studio Premium or Studio 
Professional. The CineForm Neo Player is not compatible with other 
CineForm products. Do not install Neo Player if you have another 
CineForm product installed.
     CEA608 and CEA708 closed captions are supported over HD-SDI on AJA 
cards only. Line 21 captions are supported on AJA and DeckLink cards.
     Right-clicking a media file and choosing Edit Source Project fails 
to load the project path saved in the media file for media rendered 
using the following settings: MainConcept AVC/AAC and Sony AVC (Memory 
Stick templates only).
     In order for some devices to appear in the Device Explorer window, 
you may need to change the device’s USB Connect setting from Automatic 
or MTP to Mass Storage.
     The Tools > Burn Disc > DVD with Menus and Tools > Burn Disc > 
Blu-ray Disc with Menus commands are unavailable if DVD Architect Pro is 
not installed.
     If you want to use RAW camera files in your project, the Microsoft 
Camera Codec Pack will allow you to view RAW camera files and add them 
to the timeline.
     When previewing through an SDI video preview device, audio and 
video quality issues may occur when previewing 720p video.
     When using an AJA SDI device, AJA driver version 10.1 is required 
for audio and video preview. Do not use driver version 10.3.
     For best results when previewing audio through an SDI video preview 
device, please turn off Video Preview on External Monitor before loading 
a project or changing project formats.
     24p pulldown removal is not currently available for Panasonic P2 files.

Questo e' veramente bello e funziona molto bene! :)


Si, questo andrebbe bene per DON se si decidesse
a passare a Vegas.
 

 a passare a Vegas.
 
Caro Gab, a parte ogni altra considerazione di tipo tecnico, ti "segnalo" che 
Edius l'ho pagato, meno di due anni fa, 1150 euro o qualcosa del genere. Come 
potrei mai passare a un altro software? 
E poi diciamolo: Edius fa tutto e di più, sono io che non gli sono adeguato!
 
Ciao ciao.
 


 
Mi dispiace che tu abbia speso tanto. Io ho fatto ieri l'upgrade a vegas 
pro 12 con 109 euro. Non sono sicuro che Edius sia così tanto
di più di Vegas da costare tanto di più.
Ciao
Gab

Scusa Gab, in questi giorni sono incasinato e non riesco a seguire...
 
Io ho ricevuto una mail in cui mi si dice:
Save $50 on upgrades from Vegas Pro: boxed $149.95; download $139.95.
E' la stessa mail tua ? Questa sembra la mail standard....
 
Tu mi parli di un bonus di 35 euro per chi ha inviato bug...
 


Ciao,
       Ho ricevuto una lettera simile alla tua ma da qualche parte c'era 
scritto che avevo diritto a un bonus di 35 euro (o dollari non ricordo).
Quando sono entrato nella pagina del pagamento c'era un "se hai diritto 
al bonus spunta qui". Ho spuntato e il conteggio risultante è quello che 
hai visto. Come l'abbiano calcolato non te lo so dire, gli sconti sono 
sempre i benvenuti.
Ciao e buon lavoro.
