What i want from Vegas.... yup another one..

I want eh hot chicks in those skimpy outfits.. oh sorry wrong forum...

okies, heres afew things id like seen in Vegas...

Multicam... The scripts work ok, but i want a true multi window multicam where i can click on the window of choice and have markers or cuts thrown in at those points. The way Pinnacle liquid does it...

Cookie Cutter refinements. I want to be able to import a Gradiant image or jpg (like pixelan can) BUT i want Cookie cutter to take that shape and allow me to create a border using that gradation. The current "shapes" are ok, but im yet to use an arrow left/arrow right...

Colour Match - Pick a colour on screen and match it with another. The filter should show me a preview of teh clip in question (the one to be filtered) while im given freedom to scrub the timeline to use the eyedropper to pick the colour.
This helps with manually set WB on multiple cameras Edius has this

White Balance correction - Pick a sput thats "supposed" to be white.. bang, instant WB fix.. Even better.. give us templates to asjust temperatures and chop and change between temps in increments of 50degrees

Auto Levels - Similar to the above.. the current free one DOES NOT lock, so you get fluctuations based on varying contrasts If u could lock it, the rest of my requests would be obsolete..

TRUE multithreaded AC3 rendering..
Considering it takes 45minutes to render a 5.1 ac3 from an hour 40minute project, with 2 vocal, 2 backing and 1 LFE track... but ti takes less than 10 minutes to render wav.... yes wav is uncompressed but why advertise multithreaded audio rendering support when it still doesnt render ac3 with multple threads...

dont care bout GFX card support if its fast enough without it.. but it ISNT fast enough... and with MP4 acquisition cameras coming to the fore.. i wonder how Vegas will fare..

I want realtime filter keyframe position recordings. Much the same way as the surround panner automatically records your click and drag pans, why cant we do this with a video filter? We're given teh touchpad square which we use to position (lets say a radial blur).. but instead of keyframing each point, why cant re record teh position? Then once recorded, we can interpolate those keyframes much like Particle Illusion does..

I want to right click in PanCrop and be able to select 5 of my fave presets. 16:9, 1.85.1, 4.3, 2.35.1 etc etc

In switches, i want to be able to not only lock an event, but also be given the option to "lock event to track" which will allow me to shift the track, but it wont jump tracks when moving back and forth

I want it to make me a Latte every 90minutes... 3 sugars.. or 7 if its using those little bags..

I want the Hystogram/RGB parade to run alongside the preview windows video overlay... saves space and running it vertically makes no difference to ones workflow.. working external, id like an overlay of said Parades.. much like a digital SLR woul ddisplay this data over the actual image. It doesnt afect the output, but u can see the levels live and close to each other

Timecode of the actual tape OF THE CLIP, as in show active take info, BUT to use the actual TIMECODE of the media, not Vegas generated timecode

Strecthing. Currently to view a strecthed clip data (cntrl drag) one must either retain the audio (as the percentile of stretch is shown here) or one must go into the clip properties to view. Having the percentile smack bang in the middle (along those zig zags) saves time and clicking around fishing for info

A decent deinterlacer.. much like the smartdeinterlacer, but that has issues of its own..

when working HD resolutions with SD and HD media, instead of automatically fitting the SD footage, let us see the actual size vs the output size. Liquid does this, and allows one to work an S project with HD material. but KNOWING the respultion thresholds one has the ability to see the differnce in frame size, so with this, when reframing a shot, one knows how far they can go before image begins to degrade

A "make it look good " filter... lol wouldnt this make life easy...

The Latte feature has been running in background mode since VV 3.0, at least.

The suggestions for white balance and related suggestions echo what I asked for about 3 (maybe only 2) years ago. Still sounds like a good idea to me.

For the rest, we can only hope. I am really in favor of the "make it look good" filter.
