Don't get me wrong, I've tried many NLEs and I love Sony Vegas Pro.

I think that Sony could improve Vegas with a couple of changes. These are not the only issues but something to get ideas flowing. For example,

1. In the Event Pan/Crop, the Scale function needs more range to accommodate Megapixel images. 12-MP digital stills work the Scale function right at its limit.

2. In the MediaFX section, if a Preset is selected, that name should remain there all during the editing process. it's cool to keep the arithmetic values, but the names are far more familiar. All those Presets should also be editable.

3. In Rendering, the output video quality should be more obvious and presets should be retained.

4. I wish the contents of the Project Media could be categorized then saved for later recall.

5. Sony's biggest weakness is their titling. Let me do more free-form titling. The Pro Titler is a joke. Think outside the box.

There are other issues and I'll present them as they are encountered.

I give Sony and solid 9.5 for Vegas Pro.

I'm waiting to see of Vegas Pro 9 will be around any time soon.

Respectfully,

Jack
