Ultimate S 3???

Tattoo wrote on 3/18/2006, 4:25 AM
Anybody at VASST willing to talk about if a new version of Ultimate S will be released whenever Vegas 7 hits the streets? And, if there will be a U.S. 3, will that be because U.S. 2 isn't compatable with V 7, or just to add new features?

Planning on upgrading to V 7 (from V5), and would like to add U.S. for the first time.

Thanks,
Brian

I can say that there will be an Ultimate S3 but I cannot say when that will be. You can bet there will be new features and if you have any ideas on what you’d like to see in US3 please send them to the VASST ultimatesupport email. Please DO NOT post them here for obvious reasons. ;-)

JohnnyRoy-

Do you know if US 2 will be incompatible with V7 (whenever *that* comes out)?

Just pure conjecture, but unless Sony decides to do away with .Net support and completely change their script API, then I'd assume that US2 will work in future versions of Vegas.

If, for some reason, they did decide to no longer support .Net, they might as well forget about scripting, as NO script created for Vegas would work in such a future version. So, it's pretty unlikely that Sony would do such a thing.

We have always made our current products compatible with the new version of Vegas. So when Vegas 7 comes out, we will do whatever it takes to make sure that US 2 still works with Vegas 7 (just like US 1 was made to work with Vegas 6) and make that available for free to our existing US 2 customers. We want your investment in our software to be protected.

Actually, that’s not entirely true. Sony broke a lot of scripts when they made changes to the Script API in Vegas 6 so it’s a valid question for customers to ask. As I said, we will do whatever it takes to protect your investment in our software and make sure that our current products continue to work in with future versions of Vegas.

Thanks for the good words, JohnnyRoy. Now, we'll see if I can stand the wait until NAB to see if there'll be a V7, just a V7 announcement, or if we'll come up empty! Hopefully ACID 6 will be ready soon so I can at least have *one* new toy.
