Additionally, there are changes in the Quantize to Frames,if “Quantize to Frames” is on while dragging an audio event and the selection group contains video, quantize the movement so the first video event is quantized (instead of the audio event). If there is no video in the selection group, and QTF is on, the audio event will become quantized (as in Vegas 7).
There are also pre/post toggles for FX, new track metering values, new mute behaviors (no longer prefade only).
There are also tempo-aware audio options.
In short. lotsa great new tools for the audio geek.

OK,
now I'm hearing things that interest me, yish.

I don't give a rats about most of the other stuff, never seen a need for a better titler personally. If I need one I'll just go buy one (ps DJ have Proanimator for 50%).
The 32bit stuff, yip that's a step in the right direction.
The Digital Signage, hm, still can't quite figure out why that's in there.

What does excite me and I'd hope others too is improvements to the 'editing' bit and from what you're saying some good work has been done in that area. So why is the good stuff not getting any attention, maybe no one here actually edits???

Will it render (save) as Broadcast Wave format ?
Does "BWF multichannel support" (in advanced specs) include this ?
:)

Edit: just saw the supported formats (at the very bottom) and it looks like it won't... oops.

I couldn't agree more about improvements to basic editing but I guess that basic editing improvements don't translate into selling points. You can't sell with a slogan like "Now 35% less frustrating!"

I think the three features you cite are actually pretty promising. The titler actually looks a lot more usable than what we've had to work with, 32-bit processing opens up a lot of possibilities and makes 8-bit filter chains a lot better, I'd think, and digital signage...well...if I needed to do it then Vegas would be helping me out (not everyone has pivoting monitors, and most pivoting monitors make the card change to portrait mode, which defeats the porpoise of pivoting to preview digital signage, right?)

But you're right that there are lots of bread and butter issues to address, like importing log files from .txt, .xls, or .doc files. They're just not sexy.

I don't know Rob, I think you might be onto something there!
