It's 00:55 hrs here in Winnipeg, Canada (Central Time). No sign of it yet! But I did see a moose earlier.

I believe they are in central time :-)

Maybe, but regardless, they're sleeping now and prolly will post the Press Release shortly after their business day starts.

I pity those unaware who order VMS9 at this moment...
They'll go through a hassle in order to upgrade to vs10... so sad, really.
If only they would have checked this forum. Sad, really.

Maybe in the morning

It has been made available!
Can't wait to test...

Ciao,

Here my video about some of the new features in VMS HD Platinum 10, unfortunately it's only in italian, but, maybe, it could be useful:



Ciao

I would love a comprehensive list of what has changed from VMSPP V9. From the press release -

Looks like they have hit on some key user requests - more tracks, stabilization (interesting that it is based on proDAD's plugin!), new color correction and faster rendering; and of course menus for Bluray courtesy of DVDA 5.

Image Stabilization: Users with "shaky" video footage, commonly shot from handheld, pocket and mobile phone cameras, now have the ability to quickly stabilize their files using several optimized presets. Image Stabilization uses technology from ProDAD, a leading provider of video effects plug-ins.

Slideshow creator: This new feature simplifies the creation of slideshows made from still images. Designed with ease of use in mind, the Slideshow Creator allows users to quickly create pan/zoom effects and transitions across a set of images, and provides the ability to create a dynamic slideshow from a set of images with only a few simple clicks.

Increased Number of Tracks: Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum now allows up to 10 video tracks and 10 audio tracks so content creators can utilize more tracks for organizational options, or to embrace more complex projects and compositing techniques.

New color correction tools: These tools provide users with the ability to rapidly fix video originally shot with incorrect color levels. The new White Balance tool can be used to determine what "white" should look like within a video clip. The entire clip is then automatically color adjusted to match. Seasoned editors can also use the Secondary Color Corrector tool for more advanced color modification.

GPU-accelerated AVC Rendering: Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum can now use the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) in equipped computers to improve AVC rendering performance and speed, which allows final projects to be published faster than ever before. Users with a CUDA-enabled NVIDIA® video card are able to encode to the Sony AVC format using GPU-accelerated rendering.

Device Explorer: An all-new Device Explorer window allows users to quickly browse the contents of AVCHD, hard disc and Memory Stick devices, creating more efficient ways to retrieve and edit content.

DVD Burning Direct from Timeline: In addition to delivering projects via Blu-ray discs, traditional file based hard disk and streaming media formats, users can now burn a DVD disc directly from the timeline to quickly author simple menu-less discs, providing a quick and cost-effective distribution option.

Other note - I'll add in that the audio/video/transition effects from NewBlue can be seen in the gallery pictures. http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/moviestudiope/gallery

Also, would love to know if it is only CUDA-enabled NVidia cards that can be used for faster rendering of AVCHD.
