Just taking a break from a very time sensitive project that I'm cooking and a series of thoughts made their way into the very small place I call my brain.. One of which is, I wonder how much easier post production would be if Sony Vegas Pro 14 was released tomorrow? Why would I asked that'? Do I expect to take leave of my artistic inclinations and expect the software to make all the decisions? Is that what we all want? I have said it before and I'll say it again.. What else can a present day NLE do that it can't already do besides be stable and productive.. The rest will always be up to the editor.
What I have found is that Vegas Pro 13 will do just about anything you could possibly need in post production except keep your wife from bugging you when you are in the middle of a pivotal edit point..
Will another version be much different than what's available now?
I think if SCS revisited the current version with an eye on making it the best it can be, we will not be so obsessed with the next version.
Chances are if you ain't happy with the current version, maybe you / me have unrealistic expectations of software made for and used by human beings.
