Whether your goal is to get your project out as a film print, a high definition HDCAM tape or Windows Media 9 file, Vegas 4.0 has the power and versatility to deliver your project in a multitude of file formats.

Sony Media Solutions Products Double Session

- Session 2: The Jury is In On Tape Longevity. Since the first introduction of digital media, creators and producers have wondered about the archival stability of digital tape formats to protect original assets with minimal degradation.

For those professionals who have already, or plan to, store their digital assets on magnetic tape, this session should not be missed.
