Vegas 6 Editing powerhouse beefed up, especially under the hood
Bursting out of the gate at NAB is the new Sony Vegas 6 ($600, upgrade from Vegas 5, $200). Major new features include improved HDV editing including 24p, enhanced multiprocessor support for faster render times and nested projects which can be used on the timeline as if they were any other file. Add to that the ability to down-rez and up-rez from and to just about any resolution, and you have yourself an outstanding new version of an application that was already great to begin with. Here’s our special pre-NAB sneak preview, straight from the Sony headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin.

"It makes me think that Sony should just set a cap on the number of posts in a thread. 100 would be way more than enough."

Ok? That makes complete logical sense, we wouldn't want anyone else to come along a couple weeks later and add their thoughts, which would take the number of posts to 101. This one should have been locked long ago according to your reasoning and your comment would have never even appeared right?.......excellent. I'm sorry to hear your attention span is limited to 30 posts, maybe it was a good idea I summarized the thread for you in my prior post for you.....or maybe, that didn't seem to help, because according to you the thread got locked because of too many posts? I think I'll stop here trying to figure your reasoning out.

Cute.

Off-topic:
I agree, limiting the number of replies sorta defeats the whole purpose of a FORUM, doesn't it? Skip the posts you don't care about, read the ones you do. Easy as pie.

Back on topic:
Vegas WAS 2 different applications at one point (I'm not sure if some people here didn't know that, or something). I was a 100% audio user back then, and used Vegas Audio. I was a bit miffed when they dropped the audio-only app, in favor of the mixed-bag. I expected it would somehow run slower than an audio-only app, assuming it would be processing some video, whether it was there or not. I was pleased to find out that it ran just as well as the audio-only version. Then when I decided to try editing some video, the workflow was second-nature to me.

Should they even consider splitting it back up? No.
Would we see more audio features? Maybe, if they had separate programmers working on the VV and some working on the VA applications.
