OK,
As most of you know I have refused every year to "upgrade" beyond Vegas 4. I upgraded from Vegas 2 to 3 to 4 because there were significant improvements culminating in the excellent Color Correction tools in Vegas 4. Since then, I have felt that long standing problems and antequated features should have been improved.
But, because they have been shrugged off by the software developers in favor of bells and whistle improvements I have refused to "upgrade".
Every year there are threads entitled "What I want to see in Vegas XX" that invariably grow in size to the point of absurdidty and despite the inclusion of long standing issues to fix and antequated tools to improve they are lost amongst requests for Vegas to include a rinse cycle.
So I am starting this thread (if it is not too late) to include only:
A. Issues that date back to Vegas 2 or 3
B. Antequated and/or quirky editing tools that have never been improved
Please add to this in light of the above parameters if you would and let's see if SF/Sony software developers listen.
I'll start:
1. Update amateurish credit roll generator and text generator
2. Ripple edit is still quirky.
3. Flash frames, black frames, and audio flatlines still occur.
4. Look at all the fine scripts some of us have developed. Take some of the better ones and incorporate them into a few simplified Wizards. Who would object to wizards for common simplified repetitive editing sequences?
I'll let some of the others add to this.
And remember, just because we have figured out workarounds and share them with each other doesn't mean we should accept this stuff and never demand they fix it.
