What did I miss?

I have been out of the vegas sceen for a year now due to finishing graduate school, having a surgery that left me on an epidural for 4 days, wife had a baby, moved from East Coast to the West (aka best) coast, changing two jobs and starting a business. Sorry for the long excuse, but it takes a lot to take me away from vegas.

Anyway. I browsed through old posts, but didn't see much about a new vegas rummored to come out at NAB like the last two years. Is it not going to happen?

I noticed a while ago an email from vasst showing some lower thirds and stuff that you could buy. I definately fit into the prosumer category so I don't do much work for money with vegas, mostly a passionate hobby. So...has vasst or anybody else made any more of these? I love the veggies that people post on Vasst, but it seems like not too many do anymore. Is there anywhere that I can get some good veggies to spice up myhome videos?

Thanks guys,
Carson

Welcome back.

Only change I've seen over the last year is that this Board is now friendly again.

Vegas 6 hasn't been out that long, and an upgrade was just released, so I don't think anyone's expecting much at this years's NAB. I don't think new versions of Vegas have to always coincide with NAB.

The various updates to 6.0 HAVE actually added quite a few features. Look at the update notes posted over in the downloads section. Some of these features are quite useful, depending on what kind of work you do. 6.0d is, as you probably already know, the latest release.

Here's a direct link to the release notes for 6.0d:

I hated version 6 until I lowered the number of simultaneous process to one. Vegas 6 can more efficiently use multi-processor setups, but if you have a single processor with hyperthreading, it is my experience that this will give worse rather than better performance. In the beginning there were a lot of complaints about this. No big deal, turn off the extra threads and enjoy the new features.
