Amazing .. I'm sure that I remember the 2010 thread but definitely not the 2003 thread.- I was just starting out with an early version of ULead Video Studio back then which had an incredible maximum of 3 audio tracks if I remember correctly.- maybe it was 2 audio tracks.

Thanks for the walk down memory trail, avenue, track…

@Grazie ... and flight path given the airplane reference.

V2 ... Rotate!

I should explain that V1 is the earliest velocity at which an aircraft can take-off from the runway, and V2 is V1 plus a buffer speed at which the aircraft is then authorised to lift off. 'Rotate' is the call for the pilot to pull back on the yoke to lift the aircraft's nose into the air.

Updates and improvements for the MXHEVC Plugin

Since hevc is my primary 4k format in multicam, you can bet I'll analyze that to death! Already started profiling existing performance and quality for comparison.

I'm a little confused on this, did this update come out? I've been trying to import AV1 and it won't import.

@Brock-Burling you should be getting notices when you first start up Vegas if there is an update available. And in Help, you can check for software updates if they are available.

This is a fresh install, and I'm on build 208, with no updates available.

RogerS wrote on 12/29/2023, 8:29 PM

208 is the current build and not what this thread is about.

AV1 works fine here. Please make a new post so your issue doesn't get lost and include a link to download a sample of the footage as if others have the same problem it's easier to get fixed.
