Great to see VEGAS central to their strategy.

So ... Vegas Effects 2?

VE2 would be great! But I don't see how that can happen any time soon. That would require massive programming.

Does anyone know about cameras in editors, reading that link -

Content creators demand speed, flexibility, and professional-grade tools that enhance—not hinder—their creative process. VEGAS Pro is built for exactly that. The software offers an intuitive and high-performance editing experience that allows creators to focus on storytelling, not technical roadblocks

On the Boris forum I was reading about Mocha Pro's camera solver, this can't be used with VP. (it changed, camera solver used to work I think & in Hitfilm Mocha it still has the old camera solver version, I only played with it briefly a long time ago & for a while I had Adobe AE so get I confused as to where n when I did play with the camera solver)

To be absolutely clear: You can USE the camera solver in the OFX plugin and export it’s data for other programs but there is no data the solver creates that can currently be used in VEGAS.
Vegas doesn’t have the necessary support to make 3D camera data viable.

The Mocha Pro plugin works in many different hosts, so there are always going to be some features that will not be supported directly. For example, you also cannot use Camera Solve data in Avid Media Composer, but the Camera solver is still available should you wish to use the output for other programs.

Is VP not having a built-in Camera a big deal 'a roadblock' ?

Roadblock? Possibly. Mocha Hitfilm did have it. I also had Foundry camera tracker.

The future for Vegas Pro looks promising!! I'm sure that Gary has a love for Vegas and wants it to go forward.

That would probably be the best thing ever and if they finally include plugins like Adobe after effects (roto brush and 3d camera tracking) then i probably wont be using Adobe after effects anymore, i was waiting for this in the future Vegas Effects updates but unfortunately all that wait was just for nothing. Hope Vegas Pro 23 release would surprise us with Vegas Effects 2 as well :)
