If there is, no one can talk about it due to Non Disclosure rules.

I understand. I would hope they would be serious at looking into it. I really hate Final Cut and I don't like Premiere all that much either. I do use Windows, but ever since Windows 8 I don't like the direction things are going. It would make things easier if I could install it on the Mac OS, rather than re-booting into Windows.

I've always been in the Windows camp, but recently decided to buy a Macbook Pro and boot camp it to allow me to have the tools to work with both. In the process I found that I really like the new Mac OS X. I guess here's hoping!

Thanks,

Troy

Hope is all you can do for the moment. I know that there are a lot of users who wish that Sony would come out with a Mac version of Vegas, just like they did for Sound Forge. Only time will tell.

The answer is sweet and short to your request -

Invest in the Catalyst Suite

I don't see any difference between Mac OS X and Windows 10. Windows 10 will be the last version you will pay for and from there on it's supposed to be free upgrades, just like Mac OS. I bought our iMac in 2011 with Mac OS Lion I believe and today it's running OS X Yosemite at no charge.

As others have pointed out, Sony already has Catalyst Edit for Mac and they have said that Catalyst is their new line of video editing tools. So I would expect to see Catalyst Edit to slowly gain the capability of Vegas Pro over time. I would not expect to see Vegas Pro ported to the Mac because #1 it is too deeply entrenched in proprietary Microsoft technology and #2 it is not designed to take full advantage of modern GPU's and really needs a rewrite anyway. Catalyst should fix all that and Catalyst runs on both Windows and Mac.

If you don't need the native GPU support of Bootcamp, you can use VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop, or even the free VirtualBox to run Windows on OS X. This way you don't need to reboot.

Here is Vegas Pro running on my Mac OS X desktop using VMware Fusion's Unity mode:



No need to reboot at all. I can drag and drop files from my Mac into Vegas Pro. Like I said, the only thing you don't get is GPU support but you can always reboot to Bootcamp to get it.

So ... how about install Win 7 instead of 8.x or 10 ?

A solution until Vegas requires W>7.
