Today at the IBC exhibition in Amsterdam, after seeing the Vegas 7 demo presentation I received a free copy of the new Vegas 7 + DVD Architect 4! This was my lucky day.
I went straight to my studio to install it. I did no serious editing yet in 7 but I do really like the changes like:
- more preview options (in the draft / preview / good / best options you now van choose auto, full, half, quarter quality).
- Scale video to fit preview window (auto).
- Preview on preview window and external monitor at the same time.
- You can draw a curved line for track envelopes, saves a lot of time.
- Save window layouts.
- You can now dock windows at the top of the main window, tracks at the bottom.
Those were the things that I noticed so far. I did'nt import HDV or render anything yet.
What I do not like:
The effect windows still do not remember the presetname after you have used a preset, close the window and opening it again on the same event. The settings are there but the presetname is'nt. Still saying Untitiled. In Vegas 8 I hope?
Next time more...
