It sounds like you applying for a job?

No, juat sigh.

A lot of the more advanced compositing features you speak of are present in Vegas Post, such as a 3D particle system similar to particular/form.

A lot of great suggestions there, regardless. This is the kind of constructive, polite criticism that helps guide development.

Actually, It is a low-level copy of hitfilm pro. The integration level with Vegas Pro is rather low, even is inferior to Vegas Pro and boris red.

Sorry, I'm not impolite. English is not my skilled language. I just want to cause some communication about VGEAS Pro's feature.

You specifically mentioned particular, which hitfilm does (as does Vegas Effects). Being that VP has decent compositing already, I imagine that VE is going to be where all the compositing development will happen with Vegas from now on, with VP focusing more on providing a solid editing and coloring experience, as well as doing the final rendering to video. That said, some features you mention, like event level compositing, I would love to see in stock VP.

Many users have been calling for the ability to edit (and zoom in / out) in the preview window for a long time.
I believe this feature will also arrive in Vegas PRO once

I miss some of the most important new featurs in the list. What about a Color Management System like ACES 1, what about the fully fletched HDR editing System (including the HDR preview using graphiccards?). Just as examples.

you wrote this great. I see it the same way. the team has been working in a special way for years.

Adding a new beta feature, but letting users complete it using a script or vegasaur. example- bezier masking. Then, over the years, they take on user ideas and add them to the program. It's simple and effortless. No?

The slowmotion effect will have the same course. you will see. first it is like an imperfect plugin. in the next phase of development will be without prerendering. and maybe in Vegas 21 we'll see a slowmotion at the time stretch and velocity level.

more examples .....

the white balance plugin has been upgraded but is useless because it works poorly. screen capture is like ms dos. who of us needs such a program?

we are constantly solving when to enable 200mb and when 0mb in DRAM to render without artifacts. Why magix AVC is of lower quality than Sony AVC. PT Titler as an outdated feature? Strange decision. Perhaps the team will present their own Titler in Vegas 18.

We seem to have different priorities than the team.

This is the style of the Vegas team. It's slow. For decades. Keep calm and feet in cold water. development is rushing forward.

Hi @pierre-k and thanks for your feedback. I am the developer of the "Slow Motion" plugin. I do not believe that it is an "imperfect" plugin. It is a standalone OFX plugin and I am very happy to give you a feature which is doing the optical flow preprocessing ("prerender") in the analysis and the user adjustments (method and sliders) in realtime. Without the preporcessing the plugin would be very slow on each frame like other (good) Slow Motion plugins (Twixtor, Respeedr). But this preprocessing makes the workflow so different for time stretch and velocity. I will take your feature request on my list...

"white balance": This feature is working correctly. The implementation is the gray world algorithm. In this post the user ask more for "auto level adjustment".

Only one thing... Please help us to help you and give us your feedback. Resolve took 15 years to get its color grading tools where they are today. It is not fair to expect that VEGAS will be as fully featured for its color grading mode on the first release without finetuning by user feedback.

Hello. Thanks for your interest.

You write - white balance ": This feature is working correctly.
So why do other plugins work differently and much better?
Third-party plug-ins make the yellow image white with the correct colors. Your plugin will turn the whole image into blue.

Sorry, but the user does not expect such a result.

If you still insist on the correctness of the plugin, I ask you for a new internal plugin called "White repair" that will work like other plugins.

SlowMotion for Velocity and Time Stretch (mouse + Ctrl)

Suggestions:
- The function would turn on automatically if the video speed falls below 23fps.
- Full GPU support without prerendering. A DRAM already exists for a smooth view.
The function will not be a plugin but a new Resample option. I believe the original Force and Smart Resample is no longer used. Previously, this feature only caused problems.

- Change TimeStretch (mouse + Ctrl) from 20-400% to 1-1000%. I've been requesting this change for 5 years and it's very important to me for the following videos:

Please register me for Beta testing.😉

I wish VEGAS has this features in future. I bet more user will use VEGAS if this features are possibles.

For the grading window, I really want global tint and temp, a white balance eyedropper, less overlap between 3 way color corrector values (shadows seems to really affect midtones) and hue vs hue color corrections.

Without that I use Fx half the time instead (levels, curves, white balance, selective hue). Please make the color corrector wheels less sensitive to mouse input without holding control- there have been many comments on this. Numeric curves adjustments would be great for fine tuning, esp. with an eyedropper to see pixel values.

"white balance": This feature is working correctly.

Many of us really don't think it is working correctly when compared to other WB, or even balancing things yourself using CURVES, Vegas WB is not right at all. What I see a lot - that never happens on comparable plugs, is grabbing the very bottom of the blues mostly, and ramming it up anywhere up to 2/3rds of the spectrum. That's almost never realistic. Just seems weird, and looks very wrong. Please mention to the white balance plugin guy.

The White Balance FX works correctly in the technical way. It analyzes a chroma section which is meant to be white and then lineary shifts R'G'B' so that section is moved onto the white point. Though this isn't the way camera sensors and light works which makes this method sometimes working fine and sometimes fail.

And I think the White Balance tool of the Color Grading Panel is broken in a certain way. Still diggin' into it. In many cases it doesn't work at all for me, zero correction.

here a quick example .....

original

Vegas Wb plug.

AAV ColorLab plug

The conclusion is clear.
Vegas WB is not a good plugin yet, even if you think it works properly.

This is my attempt with NewBlue ColorFast2 - not too shabby methinks?:

FX OFF > Scopes

FX ON > Scopes

Gotta Luv those Scopes!

The following I have found out about the zero correction problem of White Balance in the Color Grading. It probably only occurs when you insert the CG FX for the first time. A simple FX (LUT, Levels...), inserted after the CG and immediately removed, brings the white balance to life. It looks like CG has to be "initialized" first.

Good finding. This works, thanks.

Btw, the white balancing in the Color Grade panel works different than the White Balance FX. While the White Balance FX is just a linear total chroma shift, the white balancing in the Color Grade panel separately corrects R', G' and B', which in the end is a more realistic correction.

@Marco - Then why would I use the White Balance FX ? It seems the limitations would drive me into misunderstanding about my colour correction.

The disadvantage of the White Balance tool in Color Grade panel is there no easy way to control its gain/strength.

@Marco - I’m not talking about the Colour Grade panel. I don’t understand your reply in that why would I use the WB FX? I can’t tell from reply if it is good to use or not?
