I am convinced, I will purchase it on the 11th!
I wondner why they do not answer more questions on the webinar, I submitted two short questions, but they only answered a handful.
Track grouping and sound event FX, combined with input busses are features enough for me to upgrade.

One of my questions was if they have added sound event volume envelope, like in real DAWs.

I'm buying it, too. If for no other reason than 10 is one number higher than 9.

I can't wait until we get to 11, because my guitar amplifier goes to 11. ;)

It seems all you people are forgetting about what a bug infested piece of junk Vegas 9 was at the beginning, and it took at least three updates to get it to a point where you could use it as a primary editing tool. I will laugh in a few weeks when everybody is bitching about the bugs in 10, saying that they got on board too fast.

Although I hope that I won't laugh, that finally SCS learned the lesson and that it will work great, in which case I will gladly upgrade, but when they lower the price, which eventually happens.

Oh Sebaz, you're ruining the endorphins that are racing through everyone's brain right now.

:)

Let us be joyful in the promise of the V10 to come, and work through the realities and oddities of the model that actually ships. It's all part of the process and happens with every single version. Like Ed posted elsewhere I've never had any significant issue with V9 except the text thing on 9a. But I know others have, yes.

We'll all work through it. Or you're always free to switch.

Didn't stop me from using it as my primary editing tool.

Yes, Vegas has some... excentricities I wish they would fix, but it hasn't prevented me from editing in the slightest.

Maybe you're speaking for a few more people than you should?

Yes. the track grouping will save me lots of time since it's not unusual for me to have 25-35 tracks on a small project.

Every version of Vegas has been better than the last, so I have no hesitation buying the upgrade the day it becomes available.

I may even shoot some footage on a pair of Z1's to experiment with stereo.

(I've had a box of anaglyph magenta-blue glasses in my attic for years. I ran a SciFi convention from 1984-1990 and we showed some of those old anaglyph sci-fi movies in 16mm).

I am pretty impressed so far - seems to have been planned pretty well. Looking forward to trying the 3D stereoscopic editing. Doesn't appear DVDA got much work so hopefully all the extra resource was spent bug fixing prior to launch.

No. I'm skipping this update. 3D is a joke. To see a bunch of old guys getting excited about 3D is really pathetic. This marketing hype is so transparent. Vegas is starting to lack the features I need and using more resources from the outset without giving me the tools I need. Vegas is going down a rocky road while Adobe is traveling up the golden path. Mark my words.

Be careful not to slip on the wet portion and injure yourself.

I suggest you call George Lucas and tell him the stop his work on 3D versions of Star Wars. He probably has heard about 3D being a joke. This could really save him a bundle of cash.

While we may disagree over the overall importance of adding 3D at this time, because I think it is a very important move and signal, I would take VP10 even without it. You see, they did address the features that I needed big time.

A full closed captioning tool set is very important for the independent video pro. Vegas has set itself out where no one has been willing to go. I searched NAB looking for closed captioning and I was facing paying a fortune to get it. It is becoming required even for local broadcasts, yet alone anyone who delivers for government.

Audio enhancements and image stabilization make my job easier.

Lastly, incorporating the OFX standard opens up a world of possibilities. Boris has already announced what it means to them.

Vegas Pro continues to offer an amazing variety of native file format support. It runs on a variety of hardware configurations. Add these new enhancements and I think an upgrade fee is well spent.

Your mileage may vary.

i will be convinced when bob (farss) say's he loves 10!

in the meantime i'm going to be watching all 10 threads with great interest. personally 3d is of no use to me at all, and probably will never be - most of my clients are still wanting dvd's (at least they WORK with ANY dvd player), whilst a good many others want releases suitable for web / email / intranet. not a single person has ever asked me for hd, though i do give hd mp4's as part and parcel of the service. mentioning 3d to them simply invokes laughter....

another reason for my lack of interest is i shoot edit hdv, and when i do use a avchd 2nd camera, i usually edit it directly on the tl, or if necessary, transcode to mxf.

as for this full screen, realtime dream - having spent most of my life editing rushes / off line prior to on line, vegas's auto preview more than meets my needs most of the time, as does ram previewing.

so, i'll read what the cutting edge have to say before making any decision ;-)

I have been trying to think of a way to word this idea, and you hit it perfect. I edit by myself with Vegas most of the time, so I don't need full frame preview to know what the video looks like. I have edited enough offline and online to fill in the gaps.

I was just reading about the new features, and the one that is long overdue but happily here is the ability to assign audio fx at the event level, in a non-destructive way, unlike previous versions. Meaning that at some point I will probably upgrade too, because I love Vegas but I'm really tired of having to use rubberbands for Track compressor and EQ.
