Vegas Pro 22 Windows Arm Capability?

AndroidDigest wrote on 7/29/2024, 2:22 PM

I'm pretty frustrated. There has been 0 communication from Vegas about arm capabilities with Vegas Pro 22.

We saw a demo where it was being shown, so they are telling the whole community at that point that Vegas Pro 22 is going to support ARM. But when? Vegas 22 just released, and there's no ARM capability that I'm seeing. I installed it and it installed a non-arm version.

I would love some more information on ROUGHLY when we will see arm support, and if it will come to other devices. This complete lack of communication is going to lose some sales. Hoping we can see more info on it. Because I tried the trial, but I just don't want to commit to buy until I know arm support is for sure coming.

An ARM version of VEGAS Pro is indeed in the works. We have not published a release date yet because we simply do not have one yet. This is a rather big effort that involves coordination with other companies and while we do have VEGAS Pro running on ARM, at the moment it is missing some critical components which still need to be converted over to run natively in this architecture.

Yes, we did one demo of this at Computex, but outside of that, we have not communicated anything around this or given any promise as to when we will be able to deliver this for general release. This effort is being done in partnership with other companies and this partnership is allowing us to discover issues with drivers and compilers for new machines using this architecture. These issues are being reported to our partners and are being fixed to not only allow VEGAS Pro to be built and run under this architecture, but other software applications as well. Along with this, several new technologies are in play with these new ARM machines which VEGAS needs to have available to achieve some of the needed performance and features, especially in the NPU/AI world.

First off, you are my hero. And I agree with everything you said. So thank you for that. This communication is helpful.

Is there any rough rough rough rough estimate on when we could expect it? Obviously we want to hold nothing against you, but I guess I'm looking for any general idea I can get, which again, should never be held against you because it's just a guess, and you are relying on partners.

We do not intend to provide even rough rough rough rough estimates. We are handling this almost like a completely new application and intend to do a very extensive beta testing phase for this before we release it. It will not be released until we feel it is ready and our partners working with us on it are satisfied with the stability and performance of VEGAS on this platform. I am sorry I cannot provide much more detail than that at the moment. We will communicate more information as we get closer to launching this product.
