I think more information than here - vegas-magazine.com, we do not know, before the release of Vegas 15. And it is sad! In the best traditions of Sony Creative Software.

????

nice one, I didn't know of vegas magazine...!

but seeing this in the article "through extensive user participation in surveys", I wonder where that "survey " was done?? All I remeber was a couple of threads here about saying what you'd like to see. Is that what they mean?

Rendering settings are limited by codec requirements. With some codecs there is no limits.

"Survey" = suggestions, bitching, complaints and bugs mentioned here on the Forum.

Wow, so just some cosmetic changes. <Yawn>

As usual, don't think it's worth it, don't upgrade.

HHMMMM, didn't they say that in the auto industry when seat belts, air bags, anti-lock brakes, and computer controlled engines were introduced?

Don’t worry, I won’t. But if I just do that, they will not know why I didn’t upgrade, and it will help them make it worth upgrading.

Edit: By the it that will help them I meant mentioning here the reason for not upgrading.

 computer controlled engines

ah, now there's a can of worms ;-(

great when working, impossible and expensive when not. rather like vegas ;-)

Will be interesting to see what they come up with in V15. I skipped V14 as it seemed like a couple of tweaks and a bunch of new bugs. Glad I did but I'm ready to upgrade if they deliver a solid stable product with actual GPU support and better effects especially in the color correction department. No more gimmicks please...

My definition of gimmicks! :). To each his own, eh? :)

For me the gimmicks have been half baked title programs, 3D support, ipad editing, and so on instead solving the speed and stability issues and updating the color correction plugins, media management etc. to something similar to what we see in Resolve and Premiere. Vegas used to be so far ahead in many ways, I think if they spent their energy improving the core usefulness and stability they would do better.

That is the point. For example, for Marc 3D was a gimmick, for me it was essential since I edit 3D footage.

If a new version offers features that bring me value will depend on my needs, and needs are different.

Totally agree! I also think that they spend too much energy on Vegas Movie Studio. This is absolutely useless product. I'm sure its sales are very low.

I think the prices for Vegas also need to be looked at. Or in a year, Vegas will simply not be bought.

Vegas One - For free! (No import/export pro formats), Youtubers choice.
Vegas Edit - $ 99
Vegas Pro - $ 199

That's how I see it myself!

If you're referring to the basic Vegas Movie Studio, I'd agree somewhat. OTOH, if you're referring to VMS Platinum, that would be a gross exaggeration.

I mean the whole line Vegas Movie Studio. Only one quality product is needed - this is Vegas Pro! It is better to make one program well than badly many of its varieties.

It is better to do one thing well - than many but badly!

It's obvious that developers do not have enough time and resources to develop even one program.
This is my personal opinion, and this is just my thoughts aloud!

whilst i realize there are some ardent fans of 3d there's absolutely no commercial value to it for me and many of the professional editors i know. if vegas wants to be considered a 'professional' nle, they need to think like professionals and implement what professionals want - stability, reliability and the incorporation of current technology, eg. gpu

gc, as a mod above says, the needs are different. You are absolutely free to see it your way though, as are others. Here.

I completely agree! A good product, sells itself!

I don't think I've met anyone (maybe one or two editors) who use Vegas "Pro", but have met many many many more who use the lower end lines. They don't need all the extra features I want.

And I want full, 10 point touch screen support. I find it silly tablet programs can support this but windows 8/10 programs can't. I should be able to use my touch screen to do multiple things at once in Vegas.

I also find my version VERY stable. I said in another post, most of my issues have been non-Vegas related. Adding video dongles just makes things more unstable. That's why I went with Vegas in version 3 vs Premiere to begin with.

A lot of older people are reviled by the touch screen syndrome. That means they don't like it and the operating system that revels in it, namely Windows 10.

No, He can't be serious, Platinum has alwyas been a great product 👍
