I like the new way the trimmer displays the in point and out point when stopped and the cursor location when running. It is going to take a little bit to change my thought process, but I do like it.

It take a few seconds to get used to the new VideoFX dialogs, but not too bad.

I' like the new stabilizer tool, too. Best settings, in my opinion:

Accuracy: BEST (it's always worthwhile to wait a handful of seconds to gain a much better result)

Motion to stabilize: Pan/Tilt, Roll and Zoom
Pan/Tilt stabilization: between 10 and 20 (values greater than 20 tend to zoom in/crop too much, in my opinion)
Roll/Zoom stabilization: between 10 and 20 (values greater than 20 can make the frames too "crooked")

Detect fast camera motion can be useful.
Rolling shutter if your camera has it (eg. Canon 5D)

I didn't stabilize for Zoom in my demo. Why would zoom be a factor in the typical hand-held scenario? I used the default values with maximum "accuracy". Didn't experiment much yet.

The new 3D workflow is much better and much faster. Final product looks better too!

Yes it is like Christmas, I haven't been to bed and I have to play with all of it before I can sleep.

Sounds to me that VP10 is to VP9 what Windows 7 was to Vista...

"Sounds to me that VP10 is to VP9 what Windows 7 was to Vista..."

It sucks less. haha! Seriously, I love Win7 and Vegas.

Today I love the Tax office. They deposited some $500 into my account.
I just upgraded to 10.

I just uploaded a 3D clip to YouTube. The quality improvement from VP10 even survived YouTube's encoding and display. It actually looks good. My footage was so out of align that the sliders in Vegas could not move far enough, but I could manually enter numbers to get it where it needed to go. It was soooo much easier.

And the link is ? :)

Sorry, I didn't think anyone would want to see a small test.



Can't embed it here because it will not show in 3D.

I like the new icons too. (among the other things).

Thanks, looks cool
Sadly for me 3D is like fine scotch whiskey. I love it, but both give me a blinding headache if I get too much.

So has anyone tried to render or preview AVCHD 1080 with cross fades and effects? Is it smooth in full preview and does it get close to real time rendering? (haven't installed the trial yet, I hate to do those based on previous experience problems...)

I just did a render test with the Sony AVC CODEC with GPU assist. For my machine, the GPU assist took twice as long as CPU only. Thankfully you can choose at render time. Granted, your mileage will vary, but I have a middle of the road CUDA card and a screaming CPU, so I am glad they did not restrict us to GPU only :)

mmmm anyone having a "skippy" preview window?

im using exactly the same options ins v9, and in v10 my preview goes to 23fps with DV NTSC...

preview at best-full, no simulate aspect, no scale, no automatic size and quality, no filters, no video scopes active, project matching file, and etc...

by the way, i love the new keyframe style on video effects ;) the old one was kinda "creepy" ;P

"So has anyone tried to render or preview AVCHD 1080 with cross fades and effects?"

Seems to be quite a bit snappier. I can preview at full frame rate with cross fades and color grades... even the cartooner barely flinches the frame rate. I would say that this in itself is worth the upgrade price.

Haven't tried rendering yet but I'll let you know.

I must say... I'm a bit disappointed in final output rendering. Not that there is anything different or bad about it.

But by the way they were talking about the hardware acceleration an avchd rendering... I thought it would be faster. It's not really any faster than 9 is. I also see no mention of a vid card or new options/settings in the preferences section. (I have a Nvidia GTX285)

I'm a little confused on this hardware issue and what it's all supposed to mean. Maybe they meant real time rendering on the time line??? (There is a CLEAR and positive difference here)

Sony wasn't saying that it was the magic answer, it was users in the forums who kept saying they had to have it. Many of the experts in here have said over and over that unless you have a killer vid card, you can go farther with high CPU horsepower. There are high end cards that can offer some great speed results, but most Vegas users are not using those.

My vid card has 216 cores and almost a gig or ram on board. It takes twice as long as my hexcore 4.27 GHz CPU to do a render. Now, if I had a Pentium 4, the vid card would probably be faster.

The Sony AVC CODEC was nicely optimized for quick renders. Folks just didn't appreciate how good it was.

Ah...still no AVCHD Smartrendering...

hi.
just wondered if anyone know if it works with AVCHD much faster than 9.0. I have 9 and it does okay, it doesn't crash like 8 did but it is very slow and terribly choppy on playback.
I don't care about rendering times. those are what they are. I am concerned about the play back and general workability.

is 10 better or should I just stik with my 9? (I have the free upgrade thing).


thanx
peace.

Sony wasn't saying that it was the magic answer,

Yes, I know. In fact I was one of the ones trying to say that it wasn't really any magic answer. But still... there is almost no final render speed increase at all.

Now please don't get me wrong. I couldn't really cares less about an increased render speed... it's pretty low on my list of priorities. I think increased response on the time line greatly out weighs anything else and I'm quite happy with Sony's answer in this area

But for those who are looking for whopping and blazing speed increases in final render times.... it's not there.
