Is a Mac version of Vegas Pro also in the works?
If you have any information, share and we won't tell a soul!!!

Once again, those who know can't talk, and those who talk, don't know.

But it is valid to state that SCS has not become inactive! :)

In past years the release of a new version of Vegas was timed to a major trade show, either in the fall or in the spring. For the last few years I guess we've seen fall releases but there's no reason to think that's a rule.

Sound's like you're eager for a new release. What are you hoping to see in it?

Wasn't there a personnel shake-up at SCS last fall/winter?

I thought I read somewhere that some people at SCS were let go?

That would certainly change things, like the new software release schedule.

Release of version VegasPro13 in the year 2013 would have been a marketing stumble beyond belief. It would have made the list of the most unfortunate release of software in history. Bad bad timing! Just as Microsoft learned after trying to time Windows 2000 to the year, not ever again.
Now a reworked bug release called Version14 or approaching that level will be out in 2014 - of course, the question will be what will it do for me or .... you?

"I thought I read somewhere that some people at SCS were let go?"

Don't believe what you read. There was no shakeup or people let go.

Thanks for the post, Peter. A dash of reality is always refreshing.

I'd hope they are working on a MAC Pro version. I think they have too. In other news I'd think Sony as a group is missing out synergy their network. But I have notice they have started to work with SEL in the last several years.

In other news, Amazon is moving forward towards moviemaking with Amazon Studios.

Amazon launches free Storyboader Tool.

"called Version14"

Why would they skip 13?

Sound Forge for Mac works great. I would love to see Vegas Pro for Mac follow. We can only hope (fingers crossed).

That would certainly explain a long delay since it would need to be rewritten from the ground up to not use Microsoft technology (e.g. .Net Framework, DirectX, etc.) that Vegas so heavily depends on today.

Speculation based on something not happening is almost always wildly inaccurate.

Just seen this post a while ago in FB Sony Software:

"Just announced! Movie Studio 13 Platinum. Now with simple and advanced editing modes, and loads more. Check it out!

Ok, that's NOT Vegas Pro, but the other one, however, could be a signal about next version of Vegas Pro...
SCS, hope you can surprise us for the new Vegas Pro...

The touch-screen editing could be very interesting.

Plus the 2 editing modes: Simple and Advanced is of great value to editing newbies - flattening the learning curve of such an advanced editor.

It is probably just me - but I do not quite understand why Movie Studio 13 still supports 32 bit computing.

Even my wife's new iThingy has got a 64 bit processor - and developing for 32 AND 64 bit has - at least in the past - proved to be - say - rather challenging...

It's not just you but it's not Sony's fault. I don't understand why Microsoft still supports 32-bit computing. Windows 7 should have only come in a 64-bit version. Clearly Windows 8 should have only come in a 64-bit version. Apple upgraded OS X to only 64-bit several years ago. Microsoft just keeps causing problems by being indecisive about moving to 64-bit. It's sad but IMHO Microsoft is proliferating this problem themselves by continuing to release 32-bit OS's that customers buy and then software manufacturers like Sony have to continue to support because brand new OS's like Windows 8 still come in 32-bit only versions. :( (that's why)
