10-Bit Projects in VP?

Observing the release of more and more ILCE mirrorless cameras capable of 10-Bit video levels (either internally or via HDMI) at this Photokina, thus enabling meaningful LOG and HDR useage makes me Want to have the ability to work natively with 10-Bit projects in VP also.

32-Bit floating point being 4x the data of 8 bit seems like a waste of data and processing power in some instances (since GPU performance for contemporary cards is not yet fully optimized), and sometimes 10-Bit (being only 25% more) could well be enough yet yield much better outcomes and provide more meaningful capabilities at a better speed/performance balance.

I believe the Magix's sister product ProX already has this feature.

Please consider implementing this feature

I have the FS7 for UHD 10bit 50p, but also the EVA1 for UHD 25p 10bit. For the future you will have also the Fuji X-T3 and the Pocket 4K. And today a good choice is also the GH5.

So enough cameras with 10bit internal recording, and time for Vegas to utilize and improve further the workflow in Vegas for 10bit log and HDR footage. And they do that with ACES1 and the improvements that we see for HDR. The 10-bit OpenGL pixel format allows a 10bit preview for log and HDR using Quadro P and M cards, but also the professional AMD WXx100 cards, that allows the HDR preview and HDR workflow. I expect to see here some interesting developments.
