Vegas Pro 10 Feature Highlights

-- Stereoscopic 3D Editing: Vegas Pro 10 facilitates the creation of 3D
projects by enabling users to import, adjust, edit, preview and export
stereoscopic 3D projects natively without any additional tools or
plug-ins. These new features and workflow updates make working in 3D as
seamless as working in 2D. While fully compatible with the latest 3D
screen technology, anaglyphic viewing is also supported, making it
possible to preview 3D on any monitor.
-- Improved Closed Captioning: Improved support for closed captions enables
broadcasters to preview captions in the Video Preview and Trimmer
windows for increased accuracy and ease of editing. Other improvements
include increased support for line 21 closed captions, HD SDI closed
captions, multiple closed captioning file types, as well as the ability
to export captions for Sony DVD Architect(TM), YouTube(TM), RealPlayer®,
QuickTime(TM), and Windows Media Player®.
-- Workflow Tools and Enhancements:Sony has also introduced the following
updates to Vegas Pro 10:
o Expanded Multicam Functionality: Updated multicam features provide a
more robust editing and preview experience by offering the ability to
view the multicam source clips and the full-screen edited program
output simultaneously
o Improved support for DSLR video: Performance improvements make editing
video from popular DSLR cameras faster and easier
o Track Grouping: This update offers a quick and easy way to organize
and manage complex projects by grouping related sections of
video/audio for a cleaner working environment
o Advanced Transport Controls: UI modifications offer efficient access
to important editing tools, providing a more intuitive workflow while
improving overall productivity
-- Image Stabilization: New stabilization tools greatly reduce jittery or
shaky video sometimes caused by hand held recording.
-- Video Plug-in SDK: Video Effects Plug-in Architecture: Vegas Pro 10 now
offers a completely new video effects plug-in architecture based on the
Open Effects Association standard. This industry-leading standard was
created from the combined experience of the leading companies in the
visual effects industry. The new architecture is accessed by a new
software development kit (SDK), which reduces the developer's workload
by automating UI integration. These features will benefit editors by
greatly expanding the available visual effects plug-ins available for
Vegas Pro 10.
-- Enhanced Audio Tools: In addition to the Dolby Digital Professional(TM)
5.1 surround sound production capabilities of Vegas Pro, the upcoming
version includes the following new features:
o Audio Event FX: For more precise control over the placement of audio
effects, Vegas Pro 10 allows editors to assign audio effects at the
master output, bus level, track level and now at the event level for
greater flexibility when working with multitrack projects.
o Input Busses: Input Busses now enable editors to record, mix and
monitor audio from external hardware devices.
o VU meters: The Vegas Pro Mixing Console view becomes even more
powerful with the addition of new VU meters.
o Track Meters: Track Meters provide direct feedback and a faster
editing workflow throughout the record, edit and mix process.
-- GPU Accelerated AVC Encoding: Users with CUDA-enabled nVidia video cards
are now able to encode to the Sony AVC format with improved rendering
performance and speed.
-- Device Support:Sony continues to add expanded device support with each
new version including HD-SDI adapters, Sony NXCAM cameras, and broader
support for DVD and Blu-ray Disc(TM) drives.

Most of the things on my wishlist are there. Glad I passed on V9. Assuming everything works as advertised, V10 looks like it's worth the upgrade (for me anyway).

Track grouping and fully implemented closed captioning are two of the biggies for me. I'll also be interested in seeing what the user interface improvements are.

Squandal, i would agree with Mike's comment too. As an example i was previously using an Intel quad core @ 2.66 ghz and even that had issues previewing Canon movs! Ram, of course, has a massive effect too. And 1gig is just not enough. Yes its all money! Now running an i7 and i can just about preview movs without stuttering.
However, the point still stands, Canon movs are simply not handled efficiently by Vegas 9. Rendering takes longer than it needs to. And this has been confirmed by responses from Sony Support. Many emails later, and i too got the response of simply transcoding from MOV to some other format. In my case, I ended up using Production Assistant to batch render out the clips into HDV. This is a bit of pain and takes ages depending on the clips.
Ok, back to the thread subject matter - Vegas 10! Hopfully this is finally fixed.

Wait wait! I thought a PC with 8GB of RAM, Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9550 at 2.83 GHz, with DirectX 11 was quite a respectable PC able to run smoothly and quickly most HD tasks! Are you and Mike telling me this isn't enough?

squandal, i can only speak from my own experience here, and my quad core had trouble previewing Canon movs smoothly. But saying that, i was at least able to work on footage and edit. Only the move to i7 and hyperthreading cores gave enough power to preview without stutters. A massive waste of cpu usage just to preview!.
8 Gig ram - should be fine.
Note, this is only problems with canon footage!, if you preview other footage, like sony HDV for example, you can get smooth previews right down to a duo core 2 ghz. Its crazy.

So, where's the button that will give me 6 hours more each day, so I can actually sit down and edit?

It's right next to the button marked "extra time to sleep."

Perhaps this has been asked and answered before. WIll it be possible to have installed versions of Vegas 9 and Vegas 10 on the same system?

Each one installs to it's own separate folder so yes, it is possible.
I currently have Vegas 7, 8 and 9 and DVDA 4 and 5 on my computer with no problems at all.
